@busdriver11 --I would not assume anything about breast density. A lot of times the note/interpretation about breast density appears as a small paragraph and the breast density can be quite high, but is not otherwise flagged as an abnormal report.

I would call specifically and ask to have a copy of the entire report sent to me. Then you and your referring provider should discuss your relative risk in light of family history, breast density, exam findings, etc. Those factors will work together to guide you in what you should do.
