Clinical documentation is the gold standard in malpractice defense. Teaching a dental team how to meet accepted standards of dental care and having it documented is critical. This program will teach every member of the team important roles that they all play in making an office the best practice it can be for providing high-quality dentistry while protecting the dentist from malpractice liability. Participants will understand what needs to be included in clinical documentation to protect practices from a lawsuit.

Understand where and why we are in court! It is imperative that dentists stay up to date on the changing standards of care that affect clinical dentistry today. We will discuss a wide array of topics including medical history/medical clearance, root canals, oral cancer screening, opioids and pain management, informed consent for procedures and drugs, prophylactic antibiotic protocols and antibiotic usage.

Do you obtain honest and complete medical histories from your patients? Really? Do you have valid informed consent discussions with your patients? Do you document them properly so they would stand up in a court of law? We will discuss how important both of these aspects of dental practice are to your patients' well-being and to yours! You would be wise to spend 3 hours with Dr. Mitchell Gardiner and learn before it is too late. Do not find yourself liable!
