Nitrous Oxide Consent Forms
By Nancy Dukes, BA, RDH, CBM Are you currently using a separate Consent Form for Nitrous Oxide for each patient and each appointment? Are your patients filling out the general Consent Form and a very specific Nitrous Oxide Use Consent Form when appropriate? In discussion of comprehensive legal documentation with practices, often the issue of consents is raised. I would like some thoughts on this subject, as it has been my understanding that doctors should of course use any consent forms required by their states but also have separate consent forms for major procedures such as endo, crown and bridge and ESPECIALLY elective procedures such as cosmetic dentistry. At times Jameson coaches have shared with some of our clients a general consent form they may use but we advise that special consent forms should be drawn up by the doctor and his legal counsel and/or use ADA provided forms. Most importantly, refer to your own state’s bylaws to make certain your and your practice are always in compliance according to the state board.
