Ways to Engage Your Patient:
PATIENT EDUCATION
Empower your patients to make good oral health decisions through patient education
Keeping patients educated is crucial for your clinic as it helps patients understand their oral health needs and empowers them to make informed decisions. Automating patient education through EngageB will significantly improve efficiency by reducing the time and resources needed to educate patients manually. This approach can also enhance patient retention and engagement, as it enables clinics to provide personalized and timely education, leading to increased patient satisfaction and clinic revenue.
TOP 5 WAYS
Automated Patient Education with EngageB
A well thought out and automated approach to patient education can elevate your clinic by reducing patient anxiety from treatment, increase case acceptance, and even create new revenue streams from new treatment methods.
1. IMPROVED PATIENT ENGAGEMENT = IMPROVED PATIENT BEHAVIOR
Sending your patients free educational content and resources about dental subjects that pertain to them will result in improved patient behaviour and engagement. You want them to care about their oral health as much as you do, and this is one way to help you help them.
By sending engaging content, you will broaden your patients’ horizons, which will positively affect their decision-making, when it comes to their oral health. Improved patient behaviour will encourage your patients to book the required treatments and stay on top of their oral health needs.
2. BUILDING PATIENT RAPPORT & TRUST
Consistent efforts in patient education and engagement are a sign of care. When patients feel cared for, rapport and trust are created naturally. When you have rapport and trust, patient loyalty is not far away.
Patients who trust their dentist are unlikely to look for a new provider and are more likely to consistently come in for their periodic preventive care. It’s a win-win for the patient and the clinic.

3. BUILDING A STRONG HYGIENE DEPARTMENT
By consistently educating your patients about the importance of periodic dental cleanings and exams, you will create a strong patient commitment to preventive care. Empowering your patients to take control over their oral health will result in a fuller schedule, happier patients, and predictable revenue.
4. FEWER OUTSTANDING TREATMENTS
Patients with outstanding treatments that fall into the category of being nervous about the treatment itself, and are avoiding dealing with it, may need educational material to help them ease their fears. This will assure them that they are in good hands and goes a long way in building rapport and trust in order for them to go ahead and book that treatment.
Consistent reminders to patients about their outstanding treatment will keep it top-of-mind and give them the opportunity to schedule it in a timely manner.
5. MARKETING
Dental offices using digital communication to educate their patients can greatly benefit their marketing efforts. By providing relevant and useful oral health information, dental offices can increase patient engagement, improve patient retention and satisfaction, and foster positive word-of-mouth through patient referrals. This can help to establish the dental office as a credible and trustworthy source of information, leading to increased patient trust and loyalty through marketing.
