Medical Disclaimer

Section 01

Not Professional Advice

The information published on the Dalton Family Dentistry website — including articles, blog posts, FAQs, service descriptions, and any other content — is intended solely for general educational and informational purposes.

Nothing on this website constitutes or should be interpreted as:

• Professional dental or medical advice
• A diagnosis of any dental or medical condition
• A recommendation for a specific treatment, procedure, or product
• A substitute for an in-person examination by a licensed dentist

Section 02

No Patient–Dentist Relationship

Viewing, reading, or interacting with content on the Dalton Family Dentistry website does not create a patient–dentist relationship between you and Dr. Michael Blackmon or any member of our team.

A formal patient–dentist relationship is only established when you schedule and attend an appointment at our office and we mutually agree to proceed with your care. Only then are the full duties and protections of that professional relationship in effect.

Any information you submit through our contact form or website is not treated as a clinical consultation and should not be used in place of an in-person dental evaluation.

Section 03

Accuracy of Information

We make every effort to ensure that the information on this website is accurate, current, and consistent with accepted standards of dental care at the time of publication. However, dental science and best practices evolve, and we cannot guarantee that all content is up to date at every moment.

Information on this site may not reflect the most recent clinical guidelines, research findings, or regulatory changes. We strongly encourage you to verify any health-related information with a qualified dental or medical professional.

Section 04

Individual Results May Vary

Every patient is unique. Dental conditions, treatment outcomes, recovery times, and responses to procedures vary widely from person to person based on factors including age, overall health, oral hygiene habits, genetics, and compliance with post-treatment care.

Any general information, before-and-after results, testimonials, or outcome descriptions shared on this website are not a guarantee of similar results for any individual patient. Only a thorough in-person evaluation by a licensed dentist can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation.

Section 05

Third-Party Content & Links

Our website may reference or link to third-party websites, research articles, dental organizations, or external resources for your convenience and education. These links are provided in good faith and do not constitute an endorsement of the views, products, or services of those third parties.

Dalton Family Dentistry has no control over the content, accuracy, or availability of third-party websites and accepts no responsibility for any information found on those sites. We encourage you to evaluate the credibility of any external source independently.

Section 06

Emergency Situations

This website is not designed to handle dental or medical emergencies. If you are experiencing a dental emergency — such as a knocked-out tooth, severe pain, uncontrolled bleeding, swelling affecting your breathing or swallowing, or any other urgent condition — please take the following steps immediately:

• During office hours: Call us immediately at (706) 508-4632.
• After hours or life-threatening: Call 911 or go to your nearest hospital emergency room.

Section 07

Always Consult a Professional

We encourage all visitors to schedule a comprehensive examination with Dr. Blackmon or a qualified dental professional in their area before making any decisions about their oral health or dental treatment.

This is especially important if you:

• Are experiencing tooth pain, sensitivity, or swelling
• Have not visited a dentist in more than a year
• Are pregnant, nursing, or planning a pregnancy
• Have a chronic health condition such as diabetes, heart disease, or a blood disorder
• Are taking medications that may affect your oral health
• Are considering cosmetic or elective dental procedures

Section 08

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Dalton Family Dentistry, Dr. Michael Blackmon, and our staff shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your reliance on any information contained on this website.

By using this website, you acknowledge and agree that you do so at your own risk, and that no content on this site creates any duty of care, professional obligation, or patient–dentist relationship outside of a formal in-office appointment.
