In an increasingly litigious society, it is important to be aware of the processes that are involved with complaints and recourse to the law and our Regulator. This chapter briefly outlines the differences and also similarities between those legal processes and those of the General Dental Council. The processes that are involved in fitness to practise are also discussed, and the different types of indemnity are briefly considered. Important changes to the law concerning consent are outlined, and how these might affect how and when treatment is provided to an individual. Some simple ethical principles to consider are outlined, and the reader should perhaps develop these concepts further throughout their careers in dentistry.","PeriodicalId":229763,"journal":{"name":"A Guide to General Dental Practice","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125389833","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

How can we help position our young patients to succeed as they enter and go through school? And how can we do these things while providing essential family medicine care? I (Dr. Reddy) have been a family physician for 23 years, serving communities in Salinas, Calif. For much of that time, I have integrated literacy promotion efforts in my daily practice that have accomplished both of these goals. Why? The health benefits to young children are clear. Reading aloud to children during infancy supports cognitive development and strengthens parent-child relationships, in addition to profoundly influencing language development through childhood and even long-term literacy. (See “Child literacy facts,” page 21.) But I have found that integrating a reading program that actually gives children books during their visits benefits my work as well. First, a little bit about the program I use: In most communities there are organized efforts to promote children’s literacy. Some work specifically with medical practices. I use Reach Out and Read (ROR), which is among the most well known (http://www.reachoutandread.org/). ROR was founded more than 25 years ago and promotes early literacy and school readiness to young children and their families at almost 5,000 program sites in all 50 states. It trains and encourages practices to advise parents","PeriodicalId":229763,"journal":{"name":"A Guide to General Dental Practice","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127142326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
