Dental Clearance Handout
Avoid a liability disaster with your dental medical clearance form. A practical handout covering what a clearance request should ask for, and where practices most often get caught out.
Common problems with dental clearance forms
HIPAA violations
Providing adequate testing
How can you avoid a liability disaster with a dental medical clearance form?
This handout walks through the steps that keep a clearance request defensible.
What a defensible clearance request covers
Understand the procedure
Be specific about what is being cleared. A physician cannot assess risk from a request that does not say what treatment is planned.
Provide accurate information
Medical history, medications and vitals need to reach the physician as recorded - not summarised from memory at the front desk.
Include contraindications
Spell out the anaesthetics, antibiotics and interactions in question, so the reply addresses the risk you actually face.

What practices say after going paperless
mConsent saved me a lot of time, a lot of stress. I don’t have to do data input - everything goes into its place.
Mary Jo
Patients are able to fill out their paperwork online and they like that, because they don’t have this packet of paper to fill out.
Maria
It saves tons of time and allows us to spend time with the patient, instead of patients sitting while the dentist inserts the information.
Cindy McCourt
Before mConsent everything was definitely more labor intensive - lots of time-consuming paperwork that we don’t have to do now.
Grace
Before using mConsent we had to find and pull patients’ charts and input data. It takes a lot of time.
Stefanie Daley
Before using mConsent I had to print out the router sheet every day and get the patient’s signature. Very time consuming.
