Guide for use: | A public dental visit is defined as an appointment with a dental professional, as a result of being placed on the public dental waiting list. The appointment can be for assessment or treatment purposes. Where a person attends multiple visits as part of a single waiting list episode, only the date of first attended visit is recorded. Appointments which were scheduled but not attended by the person are not recorded. Where a person is on an assessment waiting list, the visit is considered to be the assessment that results in removal from this list. Where a person is on a general dental care or denture care waiting list, the visit is considered to be the treatment that results in removal from this list. |
