I think we can all admit that we have missed a dental appointment or two in our time. Whether it’s because we got held up at work, double booked or it’s simply just slipped from our mind.

Missed appointments are now becoming a common occurrence, which is costing dental practices all over the country thousands of pounds in time and resources. Obviously, some circumstances can’t be helped, such as car breakdowns and family emergencies. But some practices have reported that sometimes the same relative can die twice a year, as an excuse for a no show.

Other excuses have been that dental patients believe that if their oral health seems okay, they won’t go to their appointment and will wait until there is an obvious problem, such as toothache or injury.

A dental appointment is supposed to be attended twice a year, as a tooth inspection is recommended every 6 months. Dentists are now trying to reduce the amount of missed appointments, with implications such as fines and refused treatment if a patient has missed an appointment. But surely, if going to the dentist is so vital for our health, there’s an easier way of ensuring that patients don’t miss appointments, or at least call to rearrange?
