Why Dental Offices Should Text

On average, a person checks their phone every 12 minutes(!), making text messages a great way to instantly get in contact with your patients. In fact, text messages see quicker response times and higher response rates than sending emails or phone calls. By sending patients a text message and communicating with them in the ways they prefer most, you can improve response rates, reduce no-shows and improve overall profitability.

It’s much easier for patients to respond to a text during a meeting, in the car, on the go and while multitasking vs. answering a phone call or email. That’s why practices who want to stay up-to-date and ahead of the competition are learning how to effectively text with patients to remind them of upcoming appointments and other time-sensitive updates.
