• Dental Problem with which he / she has come
• Dental Procedures that would be carried on him to rectify his problem
• Possible complications of the treatment, if present

All the above details followed by a thorough clinical examination of the patient may (help a dentist) give a clue regarding the problem with which the patient has come.Diagnosis becomes one of the important aspects of health care as proper diagnosis of the condition helps the dentist to plan his line of treatment. Though generally, the clinician does identify the cause and problem of the patient, sometimes may not be sure of the diagnosis. In such instances, certain investigatory procedures could help a clinician to arrive at a conclusive diagnosis.

To educate the patient, the department has an attached Oral health education room which is well-equipped with various dental softwares, videotapes, charts, projection slides etc.,

Health education is done so that the patient is more at comfort while the treatment is in progress as the patient is well aware of the various facts with respect to the treatment procedures and possible complications, if any for a particular treatment procedure.
