Continuing care overview

Having continuing care (recare or recall) assigned to patients is key to achieving your goal of keeping patients coming back for routine, scheduled maintenance. As you schedule and reschedule a patient for a specific type of continuing care (such as an exam, cleaning, or X-rays) with the appropriate continuing care flag assigned to it, Dentrix Enterprise automatically assigns that continuing care type to the patient and updates it accordingly.

Note: You can manage continuing care types from Office Manager, but you can customize the default settings for any continuing care type that is assigned to an individual patient in Family File as needed.
