The dentist would have an obligation to treat the patient in case the of a person who isn't a patient of the practice arrives with a dental emergency

Answer: Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

Any doctor has dedicated his or her life for saving the lives of a patient on that note if a patient comes with a dental emergency it is a definite obligation for the doctor to treat the patient in spite of the patient not being his regular patient. At least a first aid is required to be done.
