What Does an On-Call Dentist Mean?
Colloquially, an 'on-call dentist' refers to a dentist serving outside working hours. In the state system this means a limited number of rota points set by the health authority, usually limited to pain relief only. At Dent360, a private clinic, being on-call is not limited to a list; fully equipped care is available at all times.
Private Clinic or State Rota?
At a state rota point, crowding and queues are common, and often only painkillers are given. At Dent360, definitive interventions such as digital X-ray, fillings, opening the canal and abscess drainage can be done the same night. This is the difference between the pain ending that night and lasting until morning.
