Consent Is Like An Onion – Are You Consenting Your Patients Correctly? – PDP113

Consent. It’s one of the most important parts of your practice—and it’s somehow turned in to a tick-box/paperwork exercise. Is it truly possible to automate the consent process for an individual? Dr. Shaun Sellars and Zak Kara are here to break it down for you, so you can get your patient on board with the treatment they need while keeping yourself out of legal trouble. We’ve covered some of the laws that govern consent in Dentistry, as well as how to level-up your patient communication skills.
