FAQ
Left untreated, bacteria begin to erode the ligaments, soft tissues and bone that hold your teeth in place. You may notice bad breath and pus (infection) around your gum line. Some people develop pain at this stage.
If they continue to refuse, you dismiss the patient. Issues such as a lost tooth due to periodontal issues stemming from consistent patient refusal of appropriate treatment is supervised neglect. No waiver will protect the office from that. You can rightly refuse to undertreat the patient.
While you always have the right to refuse, it's likely not in your best interest to do so, and if you declining cleanings causes a decline in your health they may permanently dismiss you as a patient because of the liability it creates for them.
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.
If a patient refuses definitive treatment, that refusal should be documented, along with the patient's signature on a document that states he or she understands the ramifications of nontreatment. It is the doctor's decision whether to retain or dismiss the patient from the practice.
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.
Yes you can sue but you should first consult with an experienced medical malpractice lawyer. A complaint to your state dental board might also get the result you want.
