When you attach a Continuing Care, recall, or recare type to a procedure, Dentrix automatically updates the patient’s Continuing Care, recall, or recare due date by the assigned interval when you complete the procedure. If you have not yet assigned the Continuing Care, recall, or recare type to the patient, Dentrix adds it.
