Procedure |

The parents of children call our clinic (250-5011) at
8:00am, in order to obtain one of 3 appointment slots
for later that morning (11:15am), from Monday - Thursday.
On Fridays, we have half of the staff working, due to
the FLEX Schedule. Therefore, up to 2 appointment slots
are available at 11:15am.
However, parents are advised to have their children
at the Check-In area (First Floor- DSS Access) not later
than 10:30am. After Check-In, they report to the Dental
Clinic for the filling out of papers and are ready to
see the Dentist by 11:15am.
