My Dental Care Passport

My Dental Care Passport is designed to improve the dental office visit for people with disabilities by letting individuals and their families/caregivers voice their specific needs. Sharing important information, for example, how a person likes to communicate, what they liked in past dentist visits, and what parts of the appointment might be hard for them, helps break down communication barriers and allows the dental team to make changes to the dental office and appointment plan before the person even arrives. This helps make the visit to the dentist better for everyone.

The Passport is unique to an individual. It may contain personal information and descriptions of personal experiences. This information can be incredibly useful for the dentist and their team to make the dental visit as successful as possible. However, this information is not to be shared with anyone outside of the dental office, including other healthcare professionals, without the user's permission.

My Dental Care Passport is endorsed by Aetna Better Health of Kansas, United Healthcare, Sunflower Health Plan and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.
