Comprehensive Examination
At this point , the dentist takes control of the New Patient Experience , getting acquainted with the new patient — building on the personal facts acquired by the front desk , and also sharing some facts about his or her own personal life . After this relationship-building conversation , the dentist performs a comprehensive exam that will serve as the foundation for planning clinical care .
Scheduling the Next Appointment
Whether for treatment that has been accepted or for a routine hygiene visit , scheduling the next visit will help affirm and maintain the new patient ’ s connection to the practice . The scheduling coordinator should ask permission to use the new patient ’ s email address and / or cell number for conveying appointment reminder messages .
Considering the importance of the New Patient Experience , dentists and their staff members should plan how they will handle each stage of the patient ’ s introduction to the practice . The result will be a mutually beneficial relationship built on quality care and mutual respect .
