Cleaning up the hygiene patient retention gap

Because most practices rely on hygiene revenue for their economic well-being,
retaining hygiene patients is critical.

You may have a serious hygiene retention gap if your practice:

  • Is consistently busy
  • Has 800+ patients and only one full-time hygienist
  • Sees at least 15 new patients per month
  • Has not adjusted hygiene hours in the last two years

Successfully managing patient retention will close this gap.

By periodically re-evaluating hygiene department commitments, you’ll ensure you’re optimizing treatment and relationship-building opportunities, as well as providing timely care.
