Patients forget. Chairs sit empty.
50% of UK adults skip regular dental check-ups. They don't mean to - they just forget to book until something hurts.
Empty chair time
No-shows and late cancellations mean lost revenue and wasted time. Every empty slot costs you.
Prevention becomes emergency
Patients who skip check-ups return with pain, needing expensive treatment that could have been prevented.
Recall letters ignored
Posted recall letters get lost, ignored, or forgotten. By the time patients notice, they've drifted elsewhere.
Patients don't plan to forget
A simple reminder. A full appointment book.
Patients want to look after their teeth. They just need a nudge at the right time.
Reach them before they forget
Hi Sarah, it's been 6 months since your last dental check-up at Smile Dental.
Regular check-ups help catch problems early. Book your appointment to keep your smile healthy.

What Remindlo users say
“Easy to install and setup new campaigns for small and medium businesses. Free up to 10 SMS per month so you can try without worrying about the bill.”
“I run a small biz and that plugin saves me a ton of time. Works in the background, since I also enabled the auto-sync option. No extra work for me, events with phone numbers are picked up automatically for the reminders; I'm already busy with other stuff so that's good. Using two out of three default workflows - per-visit reminders and post-visit thank you notes to collect reviews.”
