Thank you for using Just Answer. If you require clarification, please feel free to post a follow up question.The ADA Principles of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct states:"A dentist has the ethical obligation on request of either the patient or the patient's new dentist to furnish, either gratuitously or for nominal cost, such dental records or copies or summaries of them, including dental X-rays or copies of them, as will be beneficial for the future treatment of that patient. This obligation exists whether or not the patient's account is paid in full."If your dentist did not provide the information in a timely manner, you can file a complaint with your state board.
