Dentist and Hygienist Recall dates

The number to the right counts down the number of days until the patient’s recall is due. If this figure is negative the patient is overdue.

This is the estimated fee of the selected appointment, based on the fees entered for planned services in the patient's charting.

When an appointment is linked to charting, the fee estimate is the fee for the linked chart appointment.

When the appointment is not linked to charting, the fee estimate is based on the appointment provider(s) private fees for the services listed in the appointment Services field.
