A sick note, also known as a medical certificate, is a document that certifies that a person is unfit to work or attend school due to illness or injury. Sick notes are typically issued by a doctor, but in some cases, they may also be issued by other healthcare professionals, such as dentists.
There are several reasons why a dentist might issue a sick note. For example, a dentist may issue a sick note if a patient is experiencing severe pain, swelling, or bleeding. A dentist may also issue a sick note if a patient is taking medication that makes them drowsy or unable to concentrate. In some cases, a dentist may also issue a sick note if a patient is simply too sick to attend work or school.
