The paper contains basic information on health literacy — the process of gaining information and improving one’s knowledge about health, avoiding health-risk behaviors and being able to identify and realize social and environmental factors related to healthcare (WHO 1986). The text comprises two parts: the first describes the need to develop health literacy and lists the basic tools which can be used for this purpose. The second one includes a proposal for a plain-language tooth extraction consent.
