Welcome to Our Survey
The Royal College of Dental Surgeons of Ontario (RCDSO) is seeking feedback on our new draft Standard of Practice, Managing Conflicts and Ending the Dentist-Patient Relationship. This draft Standard will replace the current Maintaining a Professional Patient-Dentist Patient Relationship Practice Advisory.
We are also seeking your input to support the development of:
- resources to supplement the draft Standard, and
- a separate resource for dentists regarding building and maintaining dentist-patient relationships.
This survey will take approximately 15-20 minutes to complete.
Survey responses are saved when you click the ‘Next’ button and submitted when you click the ‘Done’ button. You may complete part of the survey and return later to edit your responses or finish the survey if you are using the same device and web browser that you used to start the survey.
The deadline to provide feedback is 11:59 pm on September 22, 2025.
All responses will be reviewed, and a summary of the feedback will be provided to RCDSO’s Council after the consultation closes. Your feedback is anonymous. Responses submitted from individuals on behalf of organizations will be attributed to the organization and not the individual.
