I went to see an oral surgeon today about my cracked tooth and something struck me. After all the paperwork I filled out in the waiting room they were holding on to a very important paper when I saw the Dr… in the patients chair no less. It was a waiver. I had to initial stating that I understood that other complexities could arise from the surgical procedure. Such as the possibility of chipping other teeth, causing a lasting numbness in my lip, bleeding and swelling of my gums and potential child birth defects… The last one I made up but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was. I signed off on them all. What else can I do if I wanted my tooth extracted?

That got me thinking… Could I give my clients a contract to initialize so they know the potential damage that might occur?

What are some of your waivers you would put in a contract?
