Q

GP feels incompetent in the required procedure. A suggested guide to making the decision to refer is this: if the practitioner would not preform the procedure being on one of his or her own family members, the pt should be referred to someone more competent in the procedure. Usually in such cases, the generalist hasn’t had education in or experience with the procedure under consideration

A

GP should refer to dental specialist

87
Q

GP doesn’t have the interest in accomplishing the required procedure. Many dentists don’t enjoy accomplishing certain areas of dentistry, and they haven’t developed their abilities beyond the dental school level in those areas.

A

GP should refer to dental specialist

GP should refer to dental specialist

89
Q

A

GP should refer to dental specialist

90
Q

The pt has had specialist treatment in the past & prefers to have the therapy accomplished by a specialist

A

GP should refer to dental specialist

91
Q

A

GP should refer to dental specialist

92
