Training the Dental Team:
To address hygiene cancellations effectively, the entire dental team must be on board with the new philosophy. Verbal skills training becomes crucial in conveying to patients the significance of keeping their scheduled appointments. Dental team members need to communicate the value of the reserved time, making it clear that last-minute cancellations may not be easily accommodated in the future.
Avoiding Overreliance on Cancellation Fees:
While some dental offices impose cancellation fees to discourage last-minute cancellations, Laura advises against solely relying on this approach. Cancellation fees may not necessarily prevent cancellations, and they may even lead to dissatisfied patients. Instead, it is essential to build patient trust and cooperation through effective communication and proper verbal skills.
