Like most professionals, we have always appreciated the trust that our clients place in us.
One part of that trust is that we will treat our clients’ personal information and records with respect, and only release that information to a third party when the client asks, or when the client’s care and good common sense dictate.
The following points address many of the issues regarding your personal information;
-
Your dentist is the one who is ethically responsible for safeguarding your personal information.
-
You are always welcome to view the records that we keep about you, including your chart.
-
From time-to-time, we will use client information for teaching or research purposes, but only if the individual client involved is not identifiable, unless they provide their consent.
-
NH Dental Clinic Bangalore will take full-face photographs of some aesthetic cases for the purposes of communicating your requirements with our Registered Dental Technicians and ceramists. We usually retain these in your chart afterward unless you request otherwise.
-
In answer to a common question, NH Dental Clinic Bangalore computer networks are firewalled.
-
When a client passes away, their chart is destroyed by shredding. We also do this if a client moves away, after approximately seven years.
-
If you make financial arrangements through a third party such as a bank , we do not maintain any of your financial information unless you want us to submit it for you as a courtesy, in which case we shred it after submission.
-
If you have a personal matter that you wish to discuss in private with the dentist or staff, we will gladly discuss it in a private office.
-
Please respect the privacy of other clients while you are in the clinic.
Again, if you have any questions about your privacy and personal information, ask your dentist. NH Dental Clinioc Bangalore are proud of our professional practice, and will make every effort to make you comfortable about how we handle your records.
