How dental recall reminder software works
This site explains the recall tools a dental front desk uses: due dates, reminder messages, overdue lists and rebooking. It describes what makers say their software does. It doesn't sell or rank anything.
All the recall guides
What dental recall software doesA plain look at how a recall system differs from a normal appointment book, using two makers' own manuals.
How recall intervals and due dates are set in the softwareWhy a patient shows as due too early or too late, and how recall software works out the date and who can change the interval.
Text, email, phone and mail: how recall reminders get sentWhat ways recall software can contact a patient, and what one maker's manual says about each, so you can fix a list nobody answers.
Working through an overdue recall listWhat columns a front desk sees on an overdue recall list, how staff step through it, and why a patient may be missing or stuck.
Writing plain recall messages and templatesWhat goes into a short recall message template, which details the software can merge in, and what breaks a message.
Recall reminders compared with appointment remindersThe difference between a recall reminder for a visit not yet booked and a reminder for a booked visit, and why mixing them up causes trouble.
