When was the last time you went to the dentist? You might not remember, and even if you can you probably don’t want to recall it. While the saintly and diligent among us may simply grin and bear their annual exam, for the rest of us, it takes some serious self-motivation. If it isn’t outright dread that has you putting off your cleaning and checkup, it’s likely your resistance begins with the scheduling process. Admittedly, the thought of having to look up the phone number, pull out your calendar, and actually schedule the appointment for a time that works on both ends isn’t exactly as appealing -- or simple -- as ordering take-out.
Funny enough, patients are not the only ones that feel the sting of the appointment process. Dentists, on average, assume 1.5 patient timeslots per day will go unfilled, with little to no chance of having those appointments filled the day before or day of -- but why not? That’s nearly $80,000 a year in lost income -- a nice chunk of incentive to amend this!
There is yet to be a universalized process efficient and accessible enough to bridge the gap of patients who need dentist visits (sometimes urgently) and dentists with last-minute availability. In today’s world, where the better chunk of our lives are guided by user-friendly apps and instant gratification, one might ask: what’s the hold-up?
