Some patients need to get specific dental treatments. However, they tend to postpone their dental appointments or even not set up an appointment at all. As a dentist, these all become missed opportunities for you to treat your patients. 

If patients don’t come to the dental office, you are unable to find out whether or not they need dental treatments. However, with the ‘Use it or Lose it’ message, you can influence patients to figure out whether they need to pay a visit to the dental office. 

In this episode, Gary and Naren discuss the message that would encourage your practice patients to quickly set up dental appointments and get the necessary dental treatments!

If you are a dentist wondering about the specific steps you need to take to get rid of PPO plans, the upcoming Masterclass titled “6 STEPS TO SUCCESSFULLY RESIGN FROM PPO PLANS” is perfect for you!
