Re: Dentists
Don't really understand the comments here TBH. It's just common sense scheduling.
Imagine you were running a car garage. You have 4 working bays and you know that MOT's take one hour each and that the garage works 8 hours a day. Common sense tells you that you can only fit in at most 32 MOTs a day if it's working flat out just doing MOTs.
With that in mind would you instead just have a booking system where people can just waltz in without declaring what it is they need doing? i.e. MOT, new brakes, new exhaust, etc etc? Madness.
If you're scheduled in for a checkup then that's a known entity and they can schedule you and lots of other people in to a full day's work. If they start doing unscheduled treatments then they will massively overrun and the entire day's schedule will be comrpomised making for lots of unhappy customers.
So makes perfect sense that you should schedule specific treatments as well as checkups.
