Welcome to Our Survey

Thank you for participating in our survey. Your feedback is important to us and will help inform the development of updated requirements and guidance to promote safe and effective care for patients.

The Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO) is seeking feedback on our current Maintaining a Professional Patient-Dentist Relationship Practice Advisory, which sets out requirements and guidance related to:
  • building a professional patient-dentist relationship
  • resolving interpersonal conflicts that arise between the patient and the dentist
  • ending the professional patient-dentist relationship.
The survey should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.

Survey responses will be saved and submitted when you click the ‘Next’ or ‘Done’ button on each page of the survey. You may complete a portion of the survey and return later to finish the survey or edit your responses, however, you must use the same device and web browser that you used to start the survey.

The deadline to provide feedback is 11:59 pm (EDT) on October 20, 2024.

All survey responses will be carefully reviewed, and a summary of the feedback received will be provided to RCDSO’s Council after the consultation closes. Your feedback is anonymous. Responses submitted by individuals on behalf of organizations will be attributed to the organization and not the individual respondent.
