Plan a dental morning when two appointment orders are feasible but have different costs.

Fictional planning exercise at 08:40. One dentist and you will handle two visits from 09:00 to 10:00. Each takes 30 minutes and needs you present throughout; neither may be shortened or overlap. Patient A needs Room 1 and would prefer to finish by 09:30 for a lift, but has confirmed a 10:10 lift is also possible if told by 08:50. Patient B needs Room 2 and is available for either 09:00 or 09:30. Both rooms are ready at 09:00. Patient C is booked in Room 2 at 10:15. The dentist has confirmed either A/B order is clinically acceptable. After use, a room requires ten minutes of uninterrupted turnover by a trained assistant before it can be used again. Lee is trained and available from 09:30 to 09:45. You are available for turnover at 10:00. These are fixed planning durations for the exercise, not care or infection-control guidance. Reception can confirm the agreed order with the patients.
