Dental appointments are important for maintaining good oral health, but sometimes they need to be canceled or rescheduled. When this happens, dentists may charge a cancellation fee to compensate for the time and resources they have set aside for the appointment.
The amount that dentists charge for cancellation can vary depending on the practice, the reason for the cancellation, and the amount of notice given. Some dentists may charge a flat fee for all cancellations, while others may charge a higher fee for cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice. Some dentists may also waive the cancellation fee if the patient can provide a valid reason for the cancellation, such as an illness or emergency.
