Survey Software for Dentists

Most people dislike seeing a dentist. It’s easy to motivate yourself to go to the doctor, when you know you’re alleviating some illness or learning whether or not you have any problems that could lead to ill health.

But with the dentist, your teeth often feel fine, and yet when you go you often have to have painful procedures, often creating pain where there wasn’t any before. Dentists know that few people are excited about visiting them. Yet dentist visits are extremely important – an underrated part of good health – and so it’s in the best interests of dentists to make sure that they are connecting with their patients and keeping track of their tooth needs.

Dentists should strongly consider using online survey software to keep track of their patients. Survey software can have many uses within a dental office, including, but not limited to: Patient Satisfaction As a dentist, you still run a business, and so patient satisfaction is extremely important. Online survey software gives you the opportunity to learn more about the patient’s experience, so that you can see why your patients are avoiding their dentist or switching dentists.

The more genuine feedback you have, the better you can improve your dental office’s long-term potential. Dental Follow Ups Surveys are also a great way to follow up with a patient. After any dental procedure, there is always the risk that something went wrong – root pain, bite problems, etc.

Even though that risk is small, it’s not something that can be known for possibly days after the patient has left the office. Surveys give you the opportunity to follow up with the patient and make sure that they do not need to come back in.

In addition, the SurveyMethods software can send you an email notification if someone fills out the form in a certain way, which provides additional benefits because you’ll be able to contact that patient right away and schedule an appointment as quickly as possible. Dental Check-Ins Finally, patients need to come in every 6 months at minimum for teeth cleanings. Traditionally some dentists send letters reminding patients about their upcoming visit.

But you can go a step further and send a survey, which not only notifies them about their visit – it also checks to see if they are suffering from any tooth pain or weakness that may be worth following up on.

Even though dentists have not traditionally been associated with the use of online survey software, that doesn’t mean it isn’t extremely useful. Dentists everywhere should strongly consider using the above survey examples in their own practice, as they’ll often find that it helps them better run their business.
