    The court may order emergency medical, dental, or surgical treatment of a child alleged to be suffering from a condition or illness which, in the opinion of a licensed physician or dentist, as the case may be, requires immediate treatment, if the child’s parent, guardian, or custodian is not available or, without good cause, refuses to consent to the treatment.
