Heading back to school can crank up the excitement (and chaos!) for dental practices. The halls are bustling with patients, and the staff is juggling more than a circus performer. We have a few tips up our sleeves to help you navigate this busy time.

1. Utilize Automated Check-in

Reduce wait times and keep your team organized by using an online appointment scheduling and digital patient form system. Automating patient intake is a great way to help parents book appointments and complete paperwork while juggling busy schedules.

2. Prioritize Patient Engagement and Communication

There is no such thing as over-communication when it comes to back-to-school season. Leaning on automated tools to send personalized educational email drip campaigns and mass texts can save your team time without sacrificing engagement.

3. Avoid No-Shows with Automated Reminders

Patients do not want to unintentionally ghost you. Sending automated reminders increases the likelihood that patients will actually show up for their appointments.
