How to know if i need parental consent if i'm 17 to get 4 teeth pulled?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Expect to: Unless you are an emancipated minor (court process), most states require parental consent for any medical or dental treatment. Check with the dentist to see what their procedure would be.
