Patient Release Reasons and Example Letters

In an ideal world, a dental practice would foster a lifelong relationship with every patient, working together to achieve and maintain optimal oral health. The hope is always to create a partnership where both the patient and dental professionals feel comfortable, understood, and aligned in their goals. However, the truth is that not all relationships work out perfectly. Just like any other relationship, compatibility, communication, trust, and mutual respect are key, and sometimes these elements may not align. While the decision to dismiss a patient is never taken lightly and is viewed as a last resort, there are circumstances where it becomes necessary for the well-being of both parties.
