Can dentists pull teeth without consent? No, in most cases, dentists cannot pull teeth without the patient's consent. Consent is a legal and ethical requirement for any medical procedure, including dental procedures.
There are a few exceptions to this rule. For example, if a patient is unconscious or otherwise unable to give consent, a dentist may be able to pull a tooth if it is necessary to save the patient's life or prevent serious harm. Additionally, in some cases, a dentist may be able to pull a tooth without consent if the patient is a minor and the parent or guardian has consented to the procedure.
