Will they take me?

Open to PCC students and the public. The first visit is a screening to see what you need and whether students can treat you. If not, you get information about other places to get care. You must see your own dentist at least once a year.

• Bring a list of all your medicines
• Some medicines or health conditions need a note from your doctor first
• You need current X-rays: a full set from the last 3 years or bitewings from the last year, or new ones will be taken
• Under 18: a parent must come and sign a consent form
• Children under 12 cannot be left alone in the waiting room
• Cancel at least 24 hours ahead, or your treatment may be stopped
• You must stay for the whole appointment and arrive on time
• More than 30 minutes late counts as late; repeated lateness or missed visits can end your treatment
• You must see a dentist for an exam at least once a year
