⚡ Quick Answer
You can transfer your Indian dental records to your overseas dentist via WhatsApp/email (digital files) or printed reports. Request: X-rays (digital), treatment summary letter, and any lab reports. Goyal Dental Care provides all documentation on request — same day.
A very common scenario: You had a dental implant, root canal, or major treatment done in Delhi. You're back in London/Dubai/Toronto. Your local dentist asks: "Do you have any dental records from India?" You don't know what to ask for, or your Indian clinic didn't give you anything.
This guide solves that — and explains what Goyal Dental Care provides to all NRI patients routinely.
Why Your Overseas Dentist Needs Indian Records
- Implant details: Brand, size, batch number — crucial for future crown replacement or if complication occurs
- RCT history: Which teeth had root canal, when, which canals were treated
- Baseline X-rays: Comparison for future — bone levels, root health
- Allergy/medication history: What anaesthesia was used, any adverse reactions
- Crown/bridge details: Material used, cementation date
What Records to Request from Your Indian Dentist
1. Treatment Summary Letter
A written letter on clinic letterhead describing: what procedures were done, on which teeth (using standard tooth numbering — FDI system), on what dates, and any specific notes. This is the most important document.
2. Digital X-Rays
Request digital X-ray files (JPEG or DICOM format) — not printed X-rays on film. Digital files can be emailed or WhatsApp'd to your overseas dentist instantly. Most modern Indian clinics including Goyal Dental Care have digital X-rays.
3. Implant Documentation
If you had implants — request the implant sticker/label (it comes with every implant box). This has: brand name, lot number, diameter, length, batch number. Critical for future treatments on the same implant.
4. Lab Reports
If any pathology was done (biopsy, blood tests related to treatment) — request copies of those reports.
5. Prescription History
Antibiotics, painkillers prescribed — especially if any adverse reaction occurred. Useful for future dental treatment abroad.

Common Questions from Overseas Dentists About Indian Treatment
| Question They Ask | Document Needed |
|---|---|
| "What implant system was used?" | Implant sticker (brand, lot, size) |
| "When was the RCT done?" | Treatment summary with date |
| "Can I see the X-ray?" | Digital X-ray files |

| "Any complications during treatment?" | Clinical notes in summary letter |
FDI Tooth Numbering — International Standard
Indian dentists generally use FDI (Federation Dentaire Internationale) tooth numbering — same used internationally. Upper right quadrant = 1 (teeth 11-18), Upper left = 2 (21-28), Lower left = 3 (31-38), Lower right = 4 (41-48). Your treatment letter should use these numbers for international compatibility.
