Make The First Step
Maintain The Bond Between Appointments
Where Do I Start?
- Services: Do your patients know what kind of services and procedures your practice offers? If not, it might be a good idea to present them. Since they’re already familiar with part of what you do, they might also be interested in other procedures if you recommend them.
- Availability: Let your patients know that if they need to, they shouldn’t hesitate to give you a call. Give them a phone number or email address they can contact whenever they are in need. It’s important to make your patients aware that they can rely on your practice should something come up.
- Fear: 15% of Americans avoid going to a dentist because they fear painful procedures. Even those who make it past the threshold might have a hard time coping. Talk to them before performing any treatment and explain what you are about to do. Understanding the procedure might help ease their minds. Be compassionate and friendly, and they can get through appointments easily.
