1. Service Description and Agreement

Teether is a user-friendly platform designed to assist patients in conveniently booking dental appointments. Users can search for specific dental procedures they require and identify local providers who offer those services. Teether acts as an intermediary, facilitating the connection between patients and dental professionals. The prices associated with each procedure are displayed next to the provider's offerings. In situations where the precise procedure needed is uncertain, providers may charge a consultation fee. This consultation fee covers the assessment required to determine the most suitable course of treatment. Importantly, the amount paid as a consultation fee is credited towards the total cost of the subsequent procedure, should the patient decide to proceed with the treatment recommended during the consultation. It is the providers responsibility to credit this consultation fee towards the subsequent procedure.

2. Payments

Two primary payment options are available:
• Pay Now: Users can opt to pay for their chosen procedure(s) immediately.
• Pay Later: Alternatively, users can choose to defer their payment using convenient lending options like Klarna or other similar services integrated into the Teether platform.
Teether functions solely as a facilitator for appointment bookings and payment processing. It does not provide medical or dental advice, nor does it engage in diagnosing or treatment. Teether's role is centered around connecting patients with local dental professionals, and the platform receives compensation in the form of a percentage from providers for each successfully completed procedure.
