Communication is key
Using the patient related data from the Patients Report in this way, Dentally enables you to communicate with your new patients, book in any additional treatment, and continue their oral health care journey with you, as quickly as possible after their initial visit.
It also allows you to see those patients who registered but have received no treatment, and you can, as you know, contact them directly from within the Patients Report, to begin your new patient nurture sequence, encouraging them to attend for their first exam.
