§ 59-328.61. Declaration of public policy
It is the declared public policy of the State of Oklahoma that
the provision of quality dental health care is essential to the
well-being of all citizens of this state, as is the expeditious
resolution of disputes relating to dental treatment. The monitoring
and assessment of dental services through a mediation system is an
efficient and reasonable method of providing an alternative dispute
resolution mechanism for patient-dentist disputes while also
promoting quality health care that addresses patients' concerns
about the quality of treatment. The Legislature, therefore,
declares that for the public good, and the general welfare of the
citizens of this state, the enactment of the Oklahoma Dental
Mediation Act is required.
