This document summarizes an audit of follow-up procedures for pediatric dental patients who failed to attend appointments at a hospital. The audit found that while protocols were in place, not all no-show patients received appropriate follow-up, posing a risk to children's health and safety. A second audit after implementing new pathways showed improvement, but the goal of 100% follow-up was still not met. The authors conclude that failed appointments represent an ongoing challenge and risk to children due to lack of dental care and potential safeguarding issues.
