COVID-19 Pandemic Emergency Dental Treatment Consent Form

I, _______________________________________, knowingly and willingly consent to have


emergency dental treatment completed during the COVID-19 pandemic.
I understand the COVID-19 virus has a long incubation period during which carriers of the
virus may not show symptoms and still be highly contagious. It is impossible to determine
who has it and who does not given the current limits in virus testing.
Dental procedures create water spray. It is unclear as to how long the ultra-fine nature of
the spray may linger in the air, which can transmit the COVID-19 virus.
 I have been made aware of the CDC and ADA guidelines that under the current
pandemic all non-urgent dental care is not recommended. Dental visits should be
limited to the treatment of pain, infection, conditions that significantly inhibit
normal operation of teeth and mouth, and issues that may cause anything listed
above within the next 3-6 months. ___________ (Initial)
 I confirm I am seeking treatment for a condition that meets these criteria.
___________ (Initial)

I confirm that I am not presenting any of the following symptoms of COVOID-19 listed
below:
 Fever
 Shortness of Breath
 Loss of Sense of Taste or Smell
 Dry Cough
 Runny Nose
 Sore Throat
 ___________ (Initial)

I understand that air travel significantly increases my risk of contracting and transmitting the
COVID-19 virus. And the CDC recommends social distancing of at least 6 feet for a period of
14 days to anyone who has, and this is not possible with dentistry. ___________ (Initial)
 I verify that I have not travelled outside the India in the past 14 days to countries
that have been affected by COVID-19. ___________ (Initial)
 I verify that I have not travelled domestically within the India by commercial airline,
bus, or train within the past 14 days. __________(Initial)
