Recording the conditions in red as a medical alert on the patient's medical history is the best practice in dealing with information that could adversely affect dental treatment as it alerts all healthcare providers that interact with the patient about any medical conditions or medications that may impact the dental treatment. This can help prevent any potential complications or adverse reactions during treatment. Telling the supervising dentist or documenting in the chart notes that the patient's health history was checked may not provide enough information to all healthcare providers, while referring the patient to a specialist may not always be necessary or feasible.
