In our conversations with Dental Hygiene clients, they consistently highlight how important an informed consent conversation is to them. To support RDHs in the provision of this aspect of care, we’ve developed a short new video on informed consent.

This video highlights some of the important elements in an informed consent conversation between an RDH and their client. It is not intended to demonstrate the full process of care or all stages in which informed consent is required.  

To learn more about informed consent, check out the Practice Guideline – Informed Consent and the education module Consent and the Dental Hygienist. If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch with us at advice@cdho.org or by calling 1-800-268-2346 (press 2).
