The American Dental Association (ADA) has updated its patient health history forms to include a new screening question related to mental health and the inclusion of GLP-1 receptor agonists. These changes, approved in January 2026, aim to enhance the coordination of care between dental and mental health professionals. The forms encourage patients to reflect on their mental health connectivity and medication use, promoting a holistic approach to patient wellness. The ADA also provides resources and continuing education courses for dental professionals to address these critical health issues effectively.
