It was 25 years ago on December 3, 1992, when Canadian engineer, Neil Papworth, discovered a way to send his typed message, “Merry Christmas”, via his personal computer, to his friend’s mobile phone in England. Fast forward 25 years later and most Americans now say that texting is their preferred form of communication.
Reach Your Dental Patients Faster Than Ever!
It’s always important to meet public demand, especially for the dental industry. When it comes to patient care, you want to provide the best experience possible. Since the majority of Americans prefer to communicate via text, now is the time to implement that method of communication in your own dental practice.
We live in a digital society that has allowed us to work more efficiently. It’s every dentist’s dream to have an efficient workflow so that they can focus primarily on their patients. Implementing a text messaging system for your patients will do just that. It will help you to streamline your daily tasks of patient outreach and help meet public demand. If you take the time to respect and meet needs, you’ll bring more patients to your door and keep your existing ones happy.
