- Payment items priced — passingEvery payment question charges a real amount, so a submission always records a payment.
- Conditional logic resolves — passingEvery rule points at a question or page that exists in this template.
- Medical disclaimer present — passingThis form does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment. Information you share here is not a substitute for care from a qualified clinician. In an emergency, contact your local emergency service immediately.
- Question labels unique — passingLogic and exports address questions by label, so duplicates are ambiguous.

- Teams with a niche process that generic forms don't cover working in healthcare, legal & specialized.
- Teams who need to capture reproducible detail on first contact without writing code or paying for a custom build.

- Respondents are the specific group this workflow serves — the form asks them 11 questions across 1 screen.

- It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
- It pins the request to a specific date.
- Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
- Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint
Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.
- Features conditional validation: if “Infections or extractions needed?” is Yes, “Findings detail” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Cleared for procedure?” is Not cleared, the form dynamically exposes “Treatment plan and recheck date”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- Features conditional validation: if “Cleared for procedure?” is Not cleared, “Treatment plan and recheck date” becomes mandatory before the form can be sent.
- Features advanced show logic: if “Cleared for procedure?” is Cleared after treatment, the form dynamically exposes “Treatment plan and recheck date”. Otherwise that question never appears.
- All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.
About this template
Surgeons, oncologists and cardiologists ask for dental clearance because an untreated oral infection can derail a procedure or a course of treatment. This form is the reply, written so it can be completed at the chair. It records the patient, their date of birth, the referring physician and the procedure, why clearance is needed — surgery, oncology, cardiac, orthopaedic or other — and the date of the dental examination itself. Then it records findings, whether any infections or extractions are needed, and the clearance decision: cleared, cleared after treatment, or not cleared. The dentist signs at the bottom. It is a narrower document than the Dental New Patient Intake Form, which builds a full history for ongoing care; this exists to answer one question for one procedure, and it should be readable in under a minute by whoever receives it. Two rules stop the ambiguous middle ground: identified infections require written detail, and anything other than a straight clearance reveals a required treatment plan and recheck date so the referring team knows exactly what has to happen and by when.

Set it up step by step
- 1
Send it to the practice, not the patient
The clinical half must be completed by the examining dentist; share the link with the practice and let them return it directly.
- 2
Keep the examination date required
Most referring teams will not accept a clearance based on an examination older than a few months.
- 3
Be specific in findings
Name the teeth and the treatment. 'Some decay' is not a clearance, it is a follow-up phone call.
- 4
Return it securely
Reply through a private link or secure portal; a signed clinical document should not travel by open email.
Mistakes to avoid
- Returning 'cleared' with no examination date, which makes the clearance impossible to date-check against the procedure.
- Recording that treatment is needed without a plan or a recheck date, so the referring team cannot schedule anything.
- Sending the completed form by unsecured email instead of returning it through a private link.
What it pairs with
Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.
What to do with the responses
Return the signed clearance to the referring clinician the same week, book any treatment identified before the procedure date, and diarise the recheck so a conditional clearance is confirmed rather than assumed.
