Completion of Care

1. Completion of Care: Upon completion of all active care, patients receive a final treatment assessment and generally are entered into the recall system of the School.

2. Scheduling of Recall Appointments: It is the patient's responsibility to contact the Preventive Recall Clinic (919-966-5909) to schedule periodic recall appointments.

3. What Happens at Recall Appointments: At these periodic recall visits (usually every three to six months), there will be a thorough examination of the mouth, the teeth will be cleaned and any needed preventive care will be provided. Recall procedures are provided by dental or dental hygiene students under the supervision of faculty.

4. Meeting New Treatment Needs: A patient who develops new treatment needs may be assigned to a student on a limited-care basis for treatment.
