Dutch legislation allows paramedics to perform certain dental treatments. At least an important part of the dentists and paramedics in this study does not meet the legal conditions for bringing in paramedics into daily dental practice. As the relevant Dutch law on this subject makes it possible to prosecute both the dentist and the paramedic who goes beyond their professional competence, it is advised to consult the law before exploring the possibilities of the team concept.

Dutch law requires every healthcare provider, which obviously includes dentists, to maintain health records. Most of the rules governing the health record requirement are in the Law of Agreement to Medical Treatment (WGBO). And, as is often the case with the law, interpretation is left to the (disciplinary)judge. There is, in fact, a considerable amount of legal precedent concerning what information belongs in the health record. It is not uncommon for a dentist to be on the losing side in a legal proceeding because his defence is not supported by the health record. And if it becomes clear that (a portion of) the health record has been destroyed, despite the legal requirement to maintain records, in this too the dentist can count on little sympathy from the judge. In a recent judgment, the Central Disciplinary Committee was more severe than ever- with far-reaching consequences for the relevant dentist.

Limited rights of minors in the Dutch healthcare.

PubMed (2014)

W. Brands Marieke T. Brands Gea Brands-Bottema

In many countries, if not all, the autonomy of minors is limited. Especially in countries with comprehensive legislation in the field of health law the (lack of) autonomy of minors may create challenges. These problems become more complex if the costs of treatment are not paid by the government or covered by insurance. Some challenges are: At what age is a minor able to decide about his health? As not every treatment is the same, how should the system take this into account? The Netherlands has a long history of very comprehensive health care legislation. This legislation includes a section about the treatment of minors that addresses the questions of the conditions in which the autonomy of minors is limited. Though this legislation is limited to the Netherlands other countries face the same challenges.
