Very Important Question about your teeth! PLEASE ANSWER!?

I am a dental hygienist who works in a small office. We need more people to come in and get their teeth cleaned. Any ideas? What makes you WANT to get your teeth cleaned at a certain dentist's office? What keeps you coming back every 6 months? Please let me know what you're thinking!

I headed a large elite clinic in Northen Cal for many years. We were extremely successful and we never did a scrap of advertising, not even in the phone book. Just a simple listing. People came to us and sent their friends and families and continued to come back to us even when they moved out of the area if they could manage it. We made certain that every single staff member a patient encountered while in our office treated them like family, bothered to remember their name and something about them and above all treated them with cheerfulnees, respect and honesty always. The hygienists always called new patients and anyone they did a new procedure on or anesthesia to check up and see how they were doing. In the course of their dental visits our hygienists would ask their families and ask if they had a good a dentist already. If not they told the patient, "we'd love to see them here because we know that if they are referred by you they are the kind of people we'd like to have in our practice." We also keep an efficient recall system in place by scheduling their next appointments before they leave the office, sending them a card two-three weeks before their appointment and confirming two days ahead. It didn't hurt that we made sure that our practice always use state-of-art procedures and equipment and let the patients know it. Good luck.
