Is there such a thing as 'implied consent' when a dentist does a procedure on a minor without first consulting the parent?

Yes. The fact that the parent brought the child to the dentist 'implies' consent to treatment. This is not as compelling as a signed "informed consent" but if it can be established that the parent did or reasonably should have understood that the child would be treated, then implied consent may be sufficient defense against a claim of non-consent.
