Here's a more detailed SQL database structure for such a system:

Tables:

PatientID (Foreign Key referencing Patients.PatientID)
DentistID (Foreign Key referencing Dentists.DentistID)
AppointmentDate
AppointmentTime
Purpose
Notes
Status (e.g., scheduled, completed, canceled)

Dentists Table:

DentistID (Primary Key)

FirstName
LastName
ContactNumber
Email
Specialization

Procedures Table:

ProcedureID (Primary Key)

ProcedureName

PatientProcedures Table:

PatientProcedureID (Primary Key)

PatientID (Foreign Key referencing Patients.PatientID)
ProcedureID (Foreign Key referencing Procedures.ProcedureID)
DatePerformed
Notes

Payments Table:

PaymentID (Primary Key)

PatientID (Foreign Key referencing Patients.PatientID)
Amount
PaymentDate
PaymentMethod
