Providing personal dental treatment plans

You can provide a printed Personal Dental Treatment Plan (NHS form FP17DC) to a patient. The form contains the details of proposed NHS and private treatment and the associated fees. In addition to providing the details of the case, the form provides important information regarding how to use the NHS dental services. Once the patient has looked over the treatment plan and estimate, if he or she wants to have the recommended treatment performed, he or she can sign the form to indicate acceptance of the NHS and private treatment and of the associated fees.
