You the patient have the right to accept or reject dental treatment recommended by your dentist. Prior to consenting to treatment, you should carefully consider the anticipated benefits and commonly known risks of the recommended procedure, alternative treatments, or the option of no treatment. *

It is very important that you provide your dentist with accurate information before, during and after treatment. It is equally important that you follow your dentist’s advice and recommendations regarding medication, pre and post treatment instructions, referrals to other dentists or specialists, and return for scheduled appointments. If you fail to follow the advice of your dentist, you may increase the chances of a poor outcome. *

Please read and initial the work to be done below, then read and sign the section at the bottom of the form.

EXAMINATION AND DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES I understand that the initial visit may require radiographs in order to complete the examination, diagnosis, and treatment plan *

DRUGS AND MEDICATION I understand that antibiotics, analgesics and other medications may cause allergic reaction causing redness, swelling of tissues, pain, itching and vomiting, and/or anaphylactic shock. I understand that the administration of local anesthetics may result in temporary or permanent paresthesia (numbness) of involved teeth, tissues, and associated structures. I understand that failure to take medications prescribed for me in the manner prescribed may offer risks of continued or aggravated infection, pain, and potential resistance to effect treatment of my condition. I accept these risks by consenting to the use of local anesthetics during my dental appointments. If I have a medical condition that necessitates antibiotic pre-medication before dental treatment, it is my responsibility to notify the dentist. I assume all responsibility for all medical consequences if the dental office is unaware of my need for pre-medication. *

CHANGES IN TREATMENT PLAN I understand that my treatment plan is only an estimate and subject to modification/changes depending on unforeseen or un-diagnosable circumstances that may arise during the course of treatment. I understand that any alterations to treatment may affect the total cost of my treatment and accept responsibility for any and all expenses regardless of third party involvement. *

The problems of wearing Orthodontic appliances have been explained to me, including looseness, soreness, and possible breakage. I understand that Orthodontic treatment requires multiple dental visits. The cost for this procedure is not the initial Orthodontic fee. *

We will repair/replace Orthodontic appliances at no additional cost during Orthodontic treatment and if there is a proven failure in Orthodontic restoration. For Orthodontic treatment and appliances, there is no warranty (initial *
