Join Biju Krishnan on 24 July at 7pm as he discusses how dental consent differs by treatment.
This webinar will explore how the process and depth of dental consent should vary according to the type of treatment.
It will touch on legal, ethical, and practical considerations in obtaining valid consent across different dental procedures. It will equip dental professionals with tools to tailor consent discussions to the individual patient and treatment context.
Learning outcomes
- Describe the legal and ethical principles underpinning dental consent, including recent legal precedents (eg Montgomery)
- Differentiate between implied, verbal, and written consent and identify when each is appropriate
- Recognise how factors such as risk, complexity, reversibility, and patient capacity affect the consent process
- Apply appropriate consent strategies for a range of treatments, including routine care, cosmetic procedures, orthodontics, paediatrics, and surgery
- Evaluate the role of digital tools in documenting and delivering consent while maintaining personalisation
- Reflect on real-world case scenarios where inadequate consent led to complaints or legal consequences – and how they could have been prevented.
