Frequently Asked Questions

What is Dentistry Consent?

Dentistry Consent is a digital platform that helps patients understand their treatment options through short videos, quizzes, and secure digital consent. It gives you a clear, consistent way to demonstrate informed consent — without replacing your clinical judgement.

Does it replace my clinical conversations?

Not at all. Dentistry Consent supports, not substitutes, your conversations — helping patients understand more clearly while reinforcing the decisions you discuss together.

Is patient data secure?

Yes. All patient data is encrypted using SSL/TLS protocols, stored on GDPR-compliant servers, and backed up automatically. We use regular security audits and access controls to ensure complete confidentiality and integrity.

Can I customise the consent forms?

Absolutely. You can tailor both the templates and patient-specific details. You can also attach additional documents, such as quotes or treatment plans.

How soon can I use it?

You’ll be up and running within one working day after sign-up.

Do you offer support?

Yes – our support team is available from 8am–5pm Monday to Friday. We respond quickly outside those hours too.

Why is consent such an important issue?

Consent isn’t just about signing a form – it’s a fundamental part of patient care. Yet many patients still don’t receive the clarity they need. A 2004 study found that while 79% of NHS dental patients believed they had given consent, 80% hadn’t been provided with a written treatment plan or a clear explanation of the risks involved.

Can patients complete the consent from home?

Yes. Patients receive a secure link by email, allowing them to review the video, complete the quiz, and sign the consent from any device — with no login required.

How will I know if a patient hasn’t signed?

The dashboard shows real-time status for every consent. You’ll receive alerts for any unsigned forms, and patients receive automated reminders too.
