I have worked in collections in the past and if they have performed work on you and you do have a balance with the dentist and its in non payment status, then YES they can send you to collections. I recommend getting onto a payment plan with the dentist. They usually are pretty flexible with the patient because if they send you to collections then they have to pay a fee to the outside collection agency and normally they try to avoid that. Hope this helps
What else can I help you with?
Can an account be sent to collections if you are making monthly payments?
If the payments are not suitable in size to the creditor, then yes. This commonly happens with medical bills. Hospitals and clinics are not required to extend the courtesy of credit to anyone. Payment in full tends to be the policy. If you owe thousands and are only paying a small amount (like 50 every month) they will send it to collections.

What is the difference between pre-charge off and post-charge off accounts?
A pre-charge off is when the creditor is giving the debtor notice that the account is in default and will be sent to collections if a payment agreement is not made by a specified date. Post-charge off is when the account has been sent to collections, sold to a third party creditor or referred to a legal firm for further action.
