Drugs and Medications:
I understand that antibiotics, analgesics, and other medications can cause allergic reactions, such as redness, swelling, nausea, itching, vomiting, or anaphylactic shock.
Changes in Treatment Plan:
I understand that during treatment, it may be necessary to change or add procedures because of conditions found while working on the teeth that were not discovered during examination. For example, root canal therapy, fillings, or crown adjustments may be necessary. I give permission for the dentist to make any/all changes deemed necessary.
Removal of Teeth:
I understand the risks involved in removing teeth, including pain, swelling, infection, and the possibility of injury to adjacent teeth, gums, or oral tissues. I am aware of potential complications, such as temporary or permanent numbness (paresthesia), that can result from tooth extractions.
Crowns, Bridges, and Caps:
I understand that it is not always possible to match the color of natural teeth with artificial ones. I also acknowledge that temporary restorations must be replaced with permanent crowns, bridges, or caps in a timely manner to avoid further complications or failure.
Periodontal Loss (Tissue and Bone):
I understand that I have a serious condition causing gum and bone inflammation or loss, which can lead to the loss of teeth. I have been informed about the recommended treatment plan and its importance.
Dentures:
I understand that wearing dentures can be challenging, particularly during initial adaptation. Immediate dentures may require adjustments and follow-up care, which may incur additional charges.
Limitations of Dentistry:
I understand that dentistry is not an exact science and that results cannot be guaranteed. I authorize the dentist and their team to perform the necessary dental care as outlined and understand that all fees are my responsibility.
Dispute Resolution:
Should any disputes arise regarding my treatment, I agree to resolve them through the Peer Review system of my local dental association.
