Flex Learning Hub

The summer season is one of the busiest times of year for pediatric dental practices. When school lets out and parents finally have the flexibility to schedule checkups, cleanings, and treatment, appointment requests surge. It’s great for business, but challenging for front office staff, especially when juggling phone calls, last-minute changes, and a full waiting room. 

What if you could give your team a break, fill your schedule more efficiently, and deliver a seamless patient experience from the moment an appointment is booked?

That’s exactly what Flex Dental Solutions helps you do with smart online scheduling, Reserve with Google integration, and exclusive, robust integration with Open Dental.   

The front office of a dental practice is the heart of patient communication, scheduling, and coordination. While dental assistants and dentists focus on providing excellent oral care, the front office keeps operations moving, while maintaining a positive patient experience. Yet, many practices still rely on outdated systems that slow things down and create unnecessary holdups. Fortunately, modern technology is revolutionizing the way dental offices operate, especially at the front desk.

Here’s how embracing the right tech tools can transform your front office and elevate your entire practice. 

There’s no busier time for pediatric dental offices than the summer. With kids out of school and calendars wide open, there is a lot of opportunity for your practice to boost production, reconnect with patients, and take care of treatments their parents have been putting off all school year.
