In arriving at an ethical decision, concern for the patient must come first. Recompense, inconvenience or embarrassment for the dentist are of secondary importance. Finally, the DSSNY Code of Ethics is at the essence of our profession. It encompasses the very image of how we wish to be viewed by society and indeed how we view ourselves. Uphold and guard it well.
在做出道德决策时，必须将对患者的关心放在首位。对牙医的报酬、不便或尴尬则是次要的。最后，纽约州牙医协会道德准则是我们职业的核心。它体现了我们希望被社会看待的形象，实际上也体现了我们如何看待自己。要好好维护和坚守它。
