Recall list text for patients six months past their last cleaning

Run a report in your practice management system for patients whose last cleaning was six months ago or more. Send them a text with a direct link to your online scheduler and a short line noting they're due for a routine visit, then follow up by phone with anyone who hasn't booked within two weeks.

Why it works: A specific trigger, six months since the last visit, prompts action better than a general reminder to schedule sometime.
