You must sign a separate form before any major dental treatment (for example, if a front or middle tooth is to be pulled out, or two or more molars are to be pulled out). If you don’t sign the form, this means you are refusing consent to the specific treatment.
The consent form specifies:
the dental problem, the proposed treatment, who will carry out the treatment and where the treatment will be
that you’ve been told the risks involved with the treatment and the likely outcome of the treatment
that you’ve been told any other ways in which the condition can be treated and the possible outcome if the condition isn’t treated
that you have asked for the treatment.
The prison dentist will ask you verbally for approval to do normal medical treatment.
