Patient and Student Safety

CGTC maintains high standards of health care, safety, and professionalism that are consistent with the public's expectations of the health profession. Patients can expect to receive the following standard of care: an needs assessment, explanation of recommended treatments and treatment alternatives, advance knowledge of the cost of treatment, reasonable continuity and completion of care, access to complete information of condition, appropriate and timely referrals for other needed services, and informed consent.

All patient records are kept confidential. It is the patient's responsibility to select a personal dentist for annual exams, continuing care (preventative and restorative), and emergencies.

Clinic Procedures

We are a teaching clinic; our primary responsibility rests with supplying appropriate learning experiences for our students. Because of this, treatment will take longer than if performed in a private practice. A single appointment averages two to four hours. Multiple appointments may be required to complete a patient's dental hygiene care.

People with complicated medical conditions, rigid time requirements, and/or extremely difficult dental care needs may not be accepted as patients at CGTC's Dental Hygiene Clinic.

Appointment Policies

? Please notify the clinic 24 hours prior to any appointment change or cancellation.

? Patients must be on time for each appointment. Any patient who is more than 15 minutes late will forfeit his/her appointment. Due to

demand, patients who cancel without 24 hours notice or who are

late for two appointments may not be rescheduled.

? Multiple missed appointments may result in discontinuance of your treatment (students' grades are based on a required number of completed patient services; missed appointments may adversely affect the

students' clinical grade).

? Due to possible injuries and conflict with infection control guidelines, children are not allowed in the clinic facility unless they are a patient.

Child care services are not available; children cannot be left unattended.
