Do Your Patients Know You're Open?

Let your patients know that you are still open, and their appointments are going ahead. Don’t forget to reassure them with the COVID-19 safety measures you have implemented, to keep them and your team safe. After all, this lockdown does not change anything for dentistry.

The video below outlines exactly how to get an SMS message to your patients that have appointments during this second lockdown. To make things easier we have included a suggested template for you to use.

Let your dental software do what it is supposed to do and reduce time spent on admin tasks
