Be Informed About Informed Consent with Dr. Mike Racich

A regular contributor to CDA Oasis, Dr. Mike Racich is back to tackle the topic of informed patient consent in a dental office setting and to review best-practices as well as why dentists should view informed consent as a process rather than a procedure.
