*If a dies on dental chair due to cardiac arrest or any other life threatening underlying disease and GDPs who usually undergo superfast dental practice may skip medical histroy and may be in swamp full of trouble..so medical histroy,drug histroy should be asked properly without hurrying..and it should be mentioned on case paper in bold letters so that dentist himself can’t miss it in further visits..every dental clinician should have medical emergency kit in his/her clinic..and should know how to save a patient who is on verge of dying on dental chair due to medical emergency..being doctor every patient/his relatives would expect from dentist something to be done immediately to save patient before sending to hospital near by .
*If dental complication such as periapical or gingival perforation occurs,rc instrument breaks up inside canal,maxillary sinus floor perforation occurs during extraction,etc dentist should mention it on case paper so that it will not become case of negligience by dentist if patient goes to another dentist and he will tell patient about that complication and an educated patient (specially in big cities) may go to consumer court and take legal action.In USA, it is common..law is very tough there..Indian patients, certainly are not that much aware still dentists should be aware of legal problems which other dentists have faced..
*In case of married female patient(20-35yrs) it is always better to ask whether she is pregnant before prescribing any medicine or starting treatment..
