Medical instruments associated with anesthesia and endoscopy can cause severe
dental injuries; hence, why endoscopy and anesthesia providers use patient
consent forms.
Studies show a patient will suffer some form of dental injury anywhere from
1 in 10 to 1 in 1000 procedures or more.
Every consent form should be accompanied by the DenTrust Protection Warranty.
FACTS:
87% of incidents result in broken front teeth with repair costs ranging
from $1,100 to upwards of $3,000 depending on the severity of the injury.
Unfortunately, your doctor’s experience or skills will not help avoid the
possibility of injury.
Neither health nor dental insurance covers these types of injury, thus
making the patient financially responsible for any remediation.
Historically, most patients have paid or will have to pay out of pocket or
take legal action against the provider for injuries experienced during the
perioperative period.
Many anesthesia consents that patients routinely sign release providers
from liability in case of dental injury.
