Dental Hippocratic Oath?

[NonTradHopeful]

Hey guys,

Is there a dentist version of the Hippocratic Oath (i.e. code of ethics).

If not, I want to know if there is a traditional or generally accepted code of ethics under which dentists are supposed to operate.

I ask because I'd like to read it and be educated about it.

Anybody know if such a thing exists for dentists, what it's called, and where I could find/read it?

Thanks!

Yeah. This is not comparable to the hippocratic oath...we took an oath at my white coat ceremony and it was the most embarassing thing ive ever been a part of...it made me regret dentistry.

But ya ADA code of ethics has all you ever wanted for ethics.

Were there any new dental students that bought it hook-line? Like trying to hold the tears back lol. I can imagine there are such saps.
