In some more formal dental hospitals, doctors will ask patients to undergo routine blood tests and two-and-a-half liver function tests before orthodontic treatment. This is what the patient will ask, I am having oral surgery, why do I need to have my blood tested? The purpose of blood tests is first and foremost to help orthodontists understand the patient's overall health and screen and rule out blood system diseases. In this way, the orthodontist can make a correct diagnosis and develop a treatment plan based on the patient's specific situation. At the same time, for certain special patients, appropriate measures can be taken during treatment to reduce the possibility of them encountering danger during treatment.
