The dentist must make reasonable arrangements for emergency care of patients not of record.
Correct Answer:
True
Explanation:
In a dental practice, the obligation to help in emergencies isn’t limited to people who are already patients. If someone who isn’t currently on the practice’s roster presents with a dental emergency, the dentist must make reasonable arrangements to ensure they receive care. This protects the person from harm, relieves pain, and upholds professional responsibility. Reasonable arrangements can include providing immediate treatment to stabilize the condition, offering temporary relief, or referring to another dentist or an appropriate emergency service, with clear communication about follow-up. Therefore, this statement is true.
