When you contact the dental clinic, the oral healthcare professional assesses the need and urgency of the treatment. On the basis of the contact, you will receive advice or an assessment of the need for treatment at the reception. A callback service is available in our appointment booking. You can find regional contact information on the Dental clinics tab.

A valid appointment will be sent as a text message reminder two days before the time. The reminder will be sent automatically to the number that is indicated in the personal data. Appointment changes are made by phone on weekdays to the dental clinic's appointment number, Mon-Thurs 7:30 a.m. to 2:45 p.m. and Fri 7:30 a.m. to 2:15 p.m. You can also cancel a dental treatment appointment through the Kainuu welfare area's Omasote service. Failure to receive a reminder message is not a reason not to use or cancel a treatment appointment.
