Abstract
A survey was designed to determine how willingly patients reveal personal health information on dental health history forms. After giving informed consent, 107 patients at a university dental hygiene program completed a 10-item survey privately and anonymously. The results suggest that a significant number of patients provide inaccurate or incomplete information to questions routinely asked on the dental health history form.
