Fair Information Practices
The Fair Information Practices Principles form the backbone of privacy law in the United States and the concepts they include have played a significant role in the development of data protection laws around the globe.

In order to be in line with Fair Information Practices we will take the following responsive action, should a data breach occur:

We also agree to the Individual Redress Principle which requires that individuals have the right to legally pursue enforceable rights against data collectors and processors who fail to adhere to the law. This principle requires not only that individuals have enforceable rights against data users, but also that individuals have recourse to courts or government agencies to investigate and/or prosecute non-compliance by data processors.

Federal law requires us to provide this notice to you no later than your first date of service. We will make a good-faith attempt to obtain your written acknowledgement of receipt. This Notice is available on request, posted prominently in our offices, and available on our practice websites.
Our Legal Duty
We are required by federal and state law to maintain the privacy of your Protected Health Information (PHI) and to notify you following a breach of unsecured PHI. We must follow the practices described in this Notice and reserve the right to change them; any changes will apply to all PHI we maintain.

We use and disclose your PHI for treatment, payment, and healthcare operations:
- Treatment: Coordinating care with other healthcare providers (e.g., your general dentist, other dental specialists, or physicians).
- Payment: Billing and collecting payment from you or your insurance provider or any third-party payor.
- Healthcare Operations: Quality assessment, training, accreditation, facility and practice management.
Special Protections (2026 Updates)
