The intake problem in dental

  • New patient enquiries arrive via phone, web form, and Google messages in completely different formats
  • Front desk staff spend 8+ minutes per new patient manually entering insurance and medical history
  • Emergency patients describe symptoms vaguely ('my tooth hurts') with no indication of which tooth or severity
  • Insurance verification requires policy details that patients rarely provide upfront

Hi, I need to see a dentist pretty urgently. I cracked my back molar on the left side biting into an olive pit yesterday at dinner. There's a sharp edge cutting my tongue and it's really sensitive to cold. I haven't been to a dentist in about 2 years (I know, I know). No major dental history except I had my wisdom teeth out in college. I'm on Delta Dental PPO through my employer, member ID DD-773920-06. No drug allergies. I can come in any morning this week. Lisa Hwang, 925-555-0283, lisa.hwang@gmail.com.
