Abstract:
This article discusses legal issues relevant to a dentist who provides services to individuals who participate in sports. It addresses the potential liability of both volunteer and paid team dentists as well as spectators at events. It also discusses private practice dentists providing fee-for-service care to athletes. This article is intended to stimulate dentists to consider the potential liabilities that may arise from the seemingly innocent act of helping others.
