Every patient has the right to accept or refuse recommended treatment from their dentist, known as informed consent or refusal. Dentists must comply with the informed consent law1 by thoroughly explaining treatment options to patients so they can make the best medical decisions possible for their needs.
Before any treatment begins, your dentist must obtain your consent. This means you agree to the treatment after understanding what it involves. Your dentist should explain the treatment clearly and answer any questions you have. You can also choose to refuse treatment if you are not comfortable with it.
To inactivate procedures (denied treatment): In the treatment plans grid, double-click the active treatment plan. Using the left and right arrows, move denied treatment to the Available Procedures column on the right. This will mark the procedures with a TPi status (Treatment Plan Inactive).
If you dont pay, your dentist can refuse to continue treatment. That would not be good if you were in the middle of a multi-step procedure such as crowns, veneers, or root canals. Youll be left in a temporary state which can get infected if you dont complete treatment for an extended period of time.
The documentation should include when and where the discussions occurred; who participated or was physically present during the conversations; the options, risks, benefits, costs, and possible outcomes addressed; and notations that the patients questions were answered.

Informed consent is the basis for every treatment you propose to and perform on patients. Dentists must obtain informed consent from each patient or from the patients legal guardian or decision-maker. State laws impact whether consent can be verbal or written.
All jurisdictions have child neglect laws; however, only eight specify failing to seek dental treatment as child neglect and none adopt the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD) definition.
Dentists can refuse to treat you under certain conditions, but its still their ethical duty to treat you. Whether its behavior, medical risks, or payment issues, knowing why a dentist might refuse dental treatment can help you prevent them.
