Creating a New Consent Form

Dentrix includes a few basic electronic consent forms (Consent for Anesthesia, Consent for Treatment, and Decline Treatment Consent). If your office needs another type of consent form, you can create it and save it in Dentrix for future use.

Additional Tips

• You can use the Cut, Copy, and Paste buttons to manipulate the consent form’s text.
• Use the Spell Check button to correct spelling errors within the text as needed.
• When you click Save to save the form, nothing visually happens on the screen to indicate that the form was saved. However, when you click Close, the new form appears in the Setup Consent Forms group box (listed alphabetically with the other consent forms).
• To learn more about creating a new consent form, read Creating Consent Forms in Dentrix Help.
