Is truth linked to fact? Is it a rigid and fixed construct or is it moveable, expanding and contracting like a rubber band.  
 
In many ways truth can be subjective and is often seated in an individual’s perception of the facts, what they have experienced, what they believe they have experienced and what they want to believe they have experienced.  Unfortunately, when perceptions of truth don’t align, it can it result in practitioners bearing the brunt of a very unhappy patient.   
 
In this episode of RiskBites, Dentolegal consultants Dr Annalene Weston and Dr Kiran Keshwara discuss the elasticity of truth, sharing helpful advice on how practitioners can avoid being stung or blamed, when the band of truth recoils or potentially snaps.
