The COVID-19 pandemic has changed dental practices to ensure that providers minimize contact with patients for health and safety reasons. Many businesses are taking preventative virtual measures, like the implementation of “teledentistry” while other are switching to paperless forms to lessen the spread of the coronavirus. It’s important for dental practices to educate and communicate with their patients about the new touch-free processes that they will be implementing. This will harbor positive relationships and keep patient retention high.
Key Takeaways:
- Even after the pandemic ends, dentists can continue to use teledentistry to triage emergencies and conduct consultations.
- Online scheduling and text messaging for appointment confirmation help add convenience for patients.
- Social media can be used to keep patients up-to-date on new treatments or services, plus other issues.
