I want to voice my appreciation and express my agreement with Dr. Daniel Orr II and Mr. William Curtis and their November JADA article, "Obtaining Written Informed Consent for the Administration of Local Anesthetic in Dentistry" (
JADA 2005;136: 156871
). The authors have successfully enlightened dental practitioners of the need to inform patients of the potential complications of administering local anesthetic. The current liability climate of practice in the United States mandates that informed consent be obtained for all treatment. The authors have provided advice that is correct and long overdue.
