I have the exact opposite problem with my dentist: his office hounds the shite out of me to make sure I don’t forget. Multiple emails, phone calls, and texts for every fricking cleaning. I’ve been going to him for 20 years and I have never missed an appt, never even been a minute late, but the texts and calls keep pouring in.


Same here. No way to forget an appointment. Those girls at the front desk worry the shite out of me for a week prior to scheduled appointments.

To the OP, I bet the dentist somehow finds that you need a filling or root canal on the next visit so he can really bend you over. Missing that appointment is now on record and they won't forget.

I'd politely decline to pay, asking them to handle this, please; if they decline...

I'd politely tell them to shove it up their arse.

If you miss your first appointment they probably don't want to deal with you going forward. How hard is it to make the first appointment? It's not like they gave you a card with an appointment 6 months out and you forgot.

Most get bonuses weekly or monthly for meeting quota and extras make it more lucrative for them. Good buddy is a dentist that runs his place like this.

This is standard. Go to your appointments and you won’t have this problem, dumbass.

Also, you can not pay it, but you’ll be sent to collections.

They could have booked someone else for your hour. YOu didn't show up, you cost them money.
