This document outlines guidelines for preventing medical emergencies in dental practice. It recommends completing a new or updating an existing medical history questionnaire for all patients and categorizing them according to the American Society of Anesthesiologists Physical Status classification system. It also stresses the importance of assessing patients for anxiety, monitoring vital signs, looking for signs of systemic disease, and modifying treatment plans based on a patient's physical status or medical conditions. The goal is to identify risks, reduce stress and anxiety, and be prepared to handle any common medical emergencies that could arise during dental treatment.
