Why it matters for dental
French dentists risk DGCCRF enforcement actions and patient complaints for failing to display fees and provide required treatment estimates. Practice owners and staff should verify that fee information is posted in waiting rooms and that written estimates (devis) are issued and retained.
Key points
- DGCCRF inspected more than 1,100 private-practice doctors and dentists in 2025 and 2026 after consumer complaints on SignalConso.
- 39% of inspected establishments received corrective or enforcement follow-up, primarily for missing or incomplete fee displays.
- 52% of dentists checked for price displays had at least one shortcoming; 26% of dentists checked for documentation obligations had at least one shortcoming.
- Some dental practices incorrectly labeled prostheses as made in France and solicited friends or family for positive online reviews.
