Answer:

Hasty generalization

Step-by-step explanation:

Hasty generalization happens when you take a one sample from the population and apply the characteristics of that sample to the general population, the fact that this year he had skipped his appointments at the dentists, does not mean that every single year would be the same, so that is why the fallacy is hasty generalization.
