Do I need to see the dentist if I have healthy teeth? Yes, even if you take good care of your teeth, going to the dentist should still be part of your routine because even though your teeth look healthy, you likely still have some plaque on your teeth or tartar on your gums that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
Just as the patient has a right to refuse any treatment, the dentist has the right to refuse any treatment. As a practicing dentist, I will give the patient the options that I feel are viable, and if they aren't convinced, I will refer them. I have a lot more content patients that way.
Informed refusal may indicate that you and the patient have different values and expectations. Consider whether it would be best if that patient is dismissed from the practice and referred to another dentist. Example: the patient who refuses a radiograph you believe essential to proper diagnosis and treatment.
Be Honest and Direct: Explain your reasons for wanting to refuse the treatment. You might say something like: - ``I've been thinking about the crown treatment, and I've decided I would like to withdraw my consent. I appreciate your recommendation, but I have some reservations.''
You can decline anything you wish. The dentist can't force you to do anything against your wishes. Also, with out proper x-rays, the dental office has the right to decline care.
