This article discusses legal issues relevant to a dentist who provides services to individuals who participate in sports. It addresses the potential liability of both volunteer and paid team dentists as well as spectators at events. It also discusses private practice dentists providing fee-for-service care to athletes. This article is intended to stimulate dentists to consider the potential liabilities that may arise from the seemingly innocent act of helping others.
During their professional career most dental practitioners will be faced with a situation in which they have to break 'bad news'. This article examines the communication skills involved in breaking bad news to patients. The process is broken down into three broad stages: preparation; discussing the information; and reviewing the situation. Within each of these stages specific and practical recommendations are given. The importance of recognising the impact which such interactions have upon the dental practitioner is emphasised.
