Can you go to the dentist by yourself at 16 if an emancipated minor?

Emancipated minor?: What do mean by emancipated minor? Dentists or any medical professional cannot treat minors without parental or legal guardian documented permission unless it is a life threatening situation.

Probably: I would imagine if you are emancipated that it is not an issue. Good for you for considering your dental health! find a great dentist- read reviews to find a consistently good experience. If you maintain good preventive care now, you can avoid almost all dental problems over time.
