FAQ
Common questions
What should I prepare before asking about the service-area checker?
Complete only confirmed fields about the exact address, postcode, travel zone, building access and preferred timing, add the date and assign one person to review the result and take the next action.
When might the service-area checker need a clinic or hospital instead?
When it comes to the exact address, postcode, travel zone, building access and preferred timing, a worksheet cannot make a diagnosis; take the observations to an appropriate dental or medical assessment. The dental provider should explain the reason and the safest next destination.
What should I enter in the service-area checker?
Enter the exact address and confirmed details about the exact address, postcode, travel zone, building access and preferred timing.
