Any Dentist wanting the assistance of the SDA Mediation Service must agree to allow the SDA Mediation Service to inspect his or her treatment records and provide any other information that the SDA Mediation Service may reasonably require. Any Patient wanting the assistance of the SDA Mediation Service must agree to allow the SDA Mediation Service to examine the treatment records of the Patient and to provide all documentation and assistance that the SDA Mediation Service may reasonably require

Upon the receipt of the Email or Letter requesting Mediation, the SDA Mediation Service will send an Acknowledgement to the complainant and notify the Dentist Concerned.
