We are a dental health care provider and as such, we have an obligation to the community and our patients to deliver the highest level of care that is attainable.

This means that we must be professional and honest in our relationships with our patients and co-workers.

The public has exhibited their trust in us by allowing us to treat their families and themselves.

To this end, we should constantly strive to maintain and improve our knowledge and skill.

We should be dedicated to generating public confidence in the specialty of orthodontics by improving the quality and availability of orthodontic care.

We may exercise reasonable discretion in selecting patients into our practice, but we shall never refuse to accept a patient because of their race, creed, color, sex, national origin or disability.

We are further obligated to safeguard the confidentiality of patients and their records.

In summary, if we treat others as we ourselves would wish to be treated, then we can rest assured that we will be proud of our efforts and results.
