As you say goodbye to a patient, you turn to see who\u2019s next and find that you have a sizeable gap in the schedule. Lulls every now and then aren\u2019t detrimental to your business, but if your schedule doesn\u2019t stay full on a consistent basis, you\u2019re missing opportunities to bring in revenue. That<\/em> is harmful to your business! How can you make sure you fill your dental schedule regularly with productive work? Read these four tips from Dental Support Specialties<\/a> to find out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Check for Previously Diagnosed But Unscheduled Treatment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Perhaps you have a patient who is coming in for a cleaning, but they\u2019ve expressed interest in teeth whitening before. Or perhaps they\u2019ve talked about replacing a missing tooth but haven\u2019t actually completed treatment for it. Checking your patient\u2019s histories can eye-opening and reveal easy ways you can fill up gaps in the schedule with productive appointments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Branch Out to Family Members<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once you\u2019ve zeroed in on a patient who needs re-care, treatment, follow-up, the next step is to expand your search to their family members. There could be a parent, child, or spouse who also needs an appointment. It\u2019s an easy to identify inactive patients and get them back on track and in the schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schedule Future Appointments Before Patients Leave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While you do want your practice to run efficiently, getting patients in and out as quickly as possible could leave holes in your schedule in the future. Instead of rushing your patients out the door, make sure that their next hygiene appointment, follow-up visit, or treatment is scheduled before they exit the office. The odds that they\u2019ll forget about it increase drastically once they leave, and they can easily fall through the cracks or become inactive patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take It Day by Day<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tackling and checking your entire patient list can feel overwhelming\u2014because it is! A simpler way to find patients who haven\u2019t completed treatment or are overdue is to search specifically patients who are on already on your schedule for the day. It\u2019s a good starting point, and following the previous three tips just might garner some more appointments on the schedule. If you finish with today\u2019s patients, you can move on to the next day\u2019s scheduled patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re thinking that these tips are too much for your regular staff to take on, don\u2019t worry! Dental Support Specialties can perform special projects just like this one for you. Basically, we can do the research, contact the patients, and actually set appointments, so you come to work with a full day ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
