Failed Appointments

Failed appointments will be documented in the patient’s record.

Failing more than one appointment will disallow a patient from making another. In this instance, those patients will be placed on a short-notice cancellation list.

If the patient subsequently attends two consecutive scheduled appointments without failing, normal scheduling procedures will be permitted.

Canceled Appointments

Short-notice cancellations will be documented in the patient’s chart.  If a patient cancels two appointments within a short time span, this will disallow a patient from making another.  In this instance, those patients will be placed on a short-notice cancellation list.

If the patient subsequently attends two consecutive appointments without canceling, normal scheduling procedures will then be permitted.

Please be advised that the Dental Clinic may be canceled or delayed due to inclement weather.

Notification will be posted both on our website (www.uma.edu) and phone voicemail (207-262-7872).
