Patient Selection in Dentistry: Reducing Your Risk

Poor patient selection and assessment can increase professional liability exposure for dentists and nurses, particularly when working with high-risk patients. Implementing an appropriate patient selection process is an effective tool in mitigating the risk of claims and lawsuits.

This program describes issues with adverse patient selection and how they can lead to an increase in the frequency and financial severity of dental malpractice claims. The main categories of patient selection and the pitfalls associated with each category are explored. Additionally, this program uses case studies and cites specific risk considerations to help the dental care team make better patient selection decisions.
