These questions are of great value in helping me to better understand your child. All information provided will remain CONFIDENTIAL.
The following information is required to enable us to provide your child with the best possible care. Please notify us of any medical changes, allergies, and/or new medications at any time in the future.
It is necessary that a signed permission be obtained from a parent/ legal guardian before any and/or all necessary dental services can be started, because your child is a minor. Authorization is hereby granted as such. If during the course of such treatment, in Dr. Coutu’s opinion and judgment, any treatment or procedure different from that now contemplated should be indicated in respect of which there is no reasonable opportunity for additional explanation and authorization, you can further request and authorize her to do whatever she considers advisable. Furthermore, the individual indicated on this form will be responsible for any account incurred on this child for dental treatment and understand that the account is due at each appointment, or whatever arrangement has been previously mutually agreed upon with Dr. Coutu.
Dr. Coutu is a specialist in Pediatric Dentistry and follows the BC Dental Association's fee guide for specialists. The fees may be higher than those paid by your insurance plan.
Dental estimates: are dependent on the cooperation of the patient, diagnostic radiographs and timely follow through of treatment. A delay of 6 months will require another exam to update the treatment plan. Estimates are honored for 45 days from the date of issue.
Dental insurance: Unlike most specialist offices, we do accept dental coverage. Please check your coverage for annual maximums and if they cover specialist fees.

If you receive insurance details please share with us so that we can provide you with a more accurate estimate.
Deposits: for hospital treatment that are used in full will be refunded once we have received payment from your insurance company.
