Subjects who use SmartConsent will have increased knowledge (cognitive achievement) about oral health disease and treatment than patients who view the standard consent 2. Subjects who use SmartConsent will have less decisional conflict in their decision regarding an oral health procedure than those who view the standard consent form 3. Subjects who use SmartConsent will have greater visit satisfactions scores than those who view the standard consent form
