\"YoungIf you don\u2019t know the answer, you need to find out, and Dental Support Specialties can help.\u00a0 We know that dentists are busy, and for the most part, you don\u2019t have time to go through all of your patients and contact those who haven\u2019t visited in the last six months. In some cases, these patients may no longer be in need of your service for a variety of reasons, but a good dental support team can help you rebuild connections with those patients who may just be waiting for the right call to reconnect. The Dental Support Specialties team offers chart auditing<\/a> services to bring your patients back to the office and keep your patient data up to date.
\n<\/p>\n

Benefits of Chart Auditing<\/h2>\n

When is the last time you completely reviewed your patient list and contacted those patients who haven\u2019t visited in over six months, haven\u2019t started a treatment plan, or who may need to be removed from your files altogether? If you can\u2019t remember, you\u2019re not alone. Many dentists rely on dental assistants, hygienists, and\/or administrators to follow up with patients or review charts in their \u201cspare time.\u201d Unfortunately, this takes these skilled professionals away from helping your patients, which is where they belong. Instead, let the Dental Support Specialties team help.<\/p>\n

Helping You Maintain Positive Patient Relationships<\/h2>\n

We use your software to review patient charts. Then, we make phone calls to touch base with lapsed patients or those who need to complete a treatment plan. We understand the dental field and can help build positive relationships with your patients. If you have patients who are inactive, let our team help you get them back through the door.<\/p>\n

Meet the Dental Support Specialties Team<\/h2>\n
