Routine Care

Emergency Care

Emergencies Outside of Normal Clinic Hours

• Patient should seek treatment at an Urgent Care or Emergency Room (Nimkee Purchased Referred Care (PRC) policies apply).

ER/Quick Call Lists

• If a patient is interested and available for an appointment on short notice:
• notify dental front desk and ask to have name put on the quick call list
• When an opening in the dental schedule arises due to a patient cancelation or no show, the front desk will make calls from the quick call list to try and fill the opening in the schedule.

Emergency Closures

In the event of an emergency clinic closure, a voicemail message will be put on the Dental Clinic answering machine with information about the closure as soon as we are notified. We are unable to contact scheduled patients directly.

Treatment for Minors

If any person other than a parent or legal guardian will be bringing a minor patient to a dental appointment, please make sure an "“Permission to Treat a Minor without a Present / Legal Guardian Present." form has been completed by the parent or legal guardian before the appointment. This will give consent for the person designated to make treatment decisions and return appointments for the minor child. This form may be obtained from any staff member.

Please make sure the person accompanying the minor stays in the treatment room or waiting room area so that if issues arise that person can be easily located.

Consent for treatment of a Minor Form
