I understand and authorize Theodore F. Mayer, DDS P.A. (Provider) and its affiliated dentists or dental hygienists to provide the following services to the named child for whom I am the custodial
parent or legal guardian: dental exam & oral hygiene instruction, teeth cleaning, fluoride treatment, x-rays & dental sealants, as well as the application of Silver Diamine Fluoride to treat the
progression of tooth decay. I also authorize the dentist to fill any cavities or to place a crown over the tooth, extract any problem baby teeth, perform a pulpotomy (baby tooth nerve treatment),
place space maintainers or perform other dental treatments as needed. I understand that there are risks to dental treatment including swelling or pain that may occur from the treatment or
injection of a local anesthetic, or allergic reaction. (For additional information regarding the risks of treatment and treatment alternatives, please call the number provided.) I understand that
a portion of my child’s dental examination may be performed remotely and that clinical information (such as x-rays) may be collected and sent electronically to another site for the dentist’s
evaluation. I consent to these teledentistry services and understand that while confidentiality protections apply, the use of third party electronic transmissions may present additional privacy
risks. I understand that I have the right to access medical information related to teledentistry services. I authorize & direct Provider to bill & collect payment from any Medicaid, insurance, or
other payer. I authorize my child’s school to make available to Provider and its billing agent my child’s insurance information in order to bill payer for services. If I have private dental insurance,
I will be billed for & agree to pay any deductibles and/or co pays. Treatment by the in-school dentist may affect future benefits that your child may receive under private insurance, Medicaid or
CHIP. Unless I have made pre-arrangements to attend, and am there at the time of service, services will be provided without my presence. I consent to the Provider sending text messages
about the school dental program. I acknowledge that text messaging is not a secure form of communication and presents additional privacy risks. (Message and/or data fees may be charged by
your wireless service provider; to discontinue, reply “STOP” to any message received from us. You also agree to receive pre-recorded and/or auto-dialed telephone calls relating to the school
dental program at the land-line and/or mobile telephone numbers provided on this consent form.) I have received the Notice of Privacy Practices (NPP) attached to this form and consent to the
release of my child’s medical record information, including records obtained from other providers, and any HIV/AIDS, communicable disease, sexually transmitted disease, drug and alcohol, and
anemia information. I authorize release of such information by Provider to any responsible payor and/or administrative service provider and their subcontractors for use and disclosure relating
to my child’s treatment, payment for services and health care operation purposes. If you are insured with Medicaid or NC Health Choice for Children, we are required to send your clinical data
to NC HealthConnex. If you would like to opt-out of your information being shared by HealthConnex, please visit https://hiea.nc.gov/patients/your-choices. This signed consent authorizes my
