The confidential medical-dental questionnaire is kept in your dental record, and your dental record is kept in a filing cabinet to which the public does not have access.
The confidential medical questionnaire is kept also in your dental record, and your dental record is kept on digital media controlled by access codes.
Only caregiving staff will have access to your health information; administrative staff will only have access to the information they need to perform their duties (billing, appointment scheduling, insurance transmission).
