The recently published Guardian Life Dental Benefits Survey provides extremely valuable insight.
For example, the survey showed 3 in 10 adults are more anxious about visiting the dentist after the pandemic. However, the report indicated “adults will be less anxious about in-person appointments if their dentist clearly communicates the steps taken to maintain patient safety.”
We realize that many offices have already communicated this message. However, effective leaders must repeat themselves constantly to drive the message home. Here’s an example to reinforce the point. “A friend of mine once paraphrased David Gergen, saying on the subject of repetition, “If you want to get your point across, especially to a broader audience, you need to repeat yourself so often, you get sick of hearing yourself say it. And only then will people begin to internalize what you’re saying.”
The take-away here is that you can’t overcommunicate your efforts to keep your patients safe!!!
The ADA in their interim Guidance toolkit provided the attached template letter. Start with something like this. Be sure to broadcast your efforts on your website, in the office, chairside and on social media!
