The holiday season is in full swing,

 and 

we all know that can often mean it’s a stress-

ful time of year. With holiday celebrations, 

family gatherings and shopping runs taking 

up a majority of your time, running your 

business can sometimes take a backseat. 

As dentists, this stress can be compounded 

with an infux of patients trying to get their 

appointments in before the end of the year.

This year, don’t let the holiday season 

stress you out. I have a few easy tips that can 

help you make the most of your time and 

eliminate some unnecessary stress in your 

life.

Reduce your number of broken 

appointments

Broken appointments are unavoidable, but 

when they occur during a busy time of year, 

they can become a larger nuisance as it’s 

often harder to reschedule. Now, all of a sud-

den, you have a hole in your day where you 

could have been seeing a patient. 

During the holiday season, it’s important 

to realize that your patients are often busy 

too, and sometimes all they need is a small 

reminder of their appointment. Have your 

front desk staff call or email the day before 

an appointment to give a friendly reminder, 

or use your marketing systems to automati-

cally send out a phone call, text or email. 

Spending just a small amount of time doing 

this can help eliminate the possibility of 

waiting around for a patient who never 

shows. 

Keep your appointments on schedule

Staying on schedule is critical to a successful 

and stress-free day, especially during a busy 

time of year. One appointment that runs 

over can cause every appointment after it to 

start late, which creates stressed staff and 

unhappy patients. 

To combat scheduling issues, it’s impera-

tive that your front desk staff knows how 

much time to allot for each type of appoint-

ment. You also need to take into account 

at what pace your hygienists like to work. 

Some practices prefer to book appointments 

back-to-back, while others schedule a little 

time in between each one. Make sure to 

communicate the scheduling expectations at 

a morning huddle or on a weekly basis with 

your team.

Set clear goals and expectations with 

staff

Before the holiday rush begins, it’s essential 

to set clear guidelines for vacation day poli-

cies and what days the offce will be open 

over the season. If there are days when staff 

members are not allowed to take off, it’s 

always best to mention them well ahead 

of time so team members are aware and 

prepared. This gives employees time to plan 

their vacation days around work and lowers 

the risk of an unhappy team down the road.  

This also ensures your offce can be fully 

operational during those hectic weeks. 

Stay relaxed

What’s the best solution to combat stress? 

Stay relaxed. Remember that the holidays 

are a time to enjoy friends and family and 

also a great time to catch up with patients 

who you may not have seen for a while.  

To make the most of this holiday season, 

practices need to have strategies in place to 

keep things running smoothly. So before 

making that gift shopping run, think about 

how these tips can help your practice this 

season.
