Article R4127-266 of the French Public Health Code

In principle, the dental surgeon must agree to see any other dental surgeon or doctor for a consultation when such a consultation is requested by the patient or the patient’s family.

When a consultation is requested by the family or the treating dental surgeon, the latter may indicate which consultant he prefers, but he must give the family the greatest freedom and accept the consultant it wishes, guided above all by the interests of his patient.

The treating dental surgeon may withdraw if someone wishes to impose on him a consultant whom he refuses; he does not owe anyone an explanation for his refusal.

Original in French 🇫🇷
Article R4127-266

Le chirurgien-dentiste doit en principe accepter de rencontrer en consultation tout autre chirurgien-dentiste ou médecin quand cette consultation lui est demandée par le patient ou sa famille.

Lorsqu’une consultation est demandée par la famille ou le chirurgien-dentiste traitant, ce dernier peut indiquer le consultant qu’il préfère, mais il doit laisser la plus grande liberté à la famille et accepter le consultant qu’elle désire, en s’inspirant avant tout de l’intérêt de son patient.

Le chirurgien-dentiste traitant peut se retirer si on veut lui imposer un consultant qu’il refuse ; il ne doit à personne l’explication de son refus.
