This Dental Health Week, let’s shift the focus. Instead of just repeating standard brushing tips, let’s be the inspiration that gets patients to lock in their next recall appointment BEFORE they walk away.
Why is locking in that appointment right now so critical?
🔒 It stops patients from ignoring recall reminders months down the track.
🔒 It catches minor, painless conditions early.
🔒 It prevents small issues from turning into painful—and financially overwhelming—emergency treatments later!
How you can lead the charge this week:
1️⃣ Grab the official ADA resources: Head to teeth.org.au to download posters, pull-up banners, and social tiles for your clinic.
2️⃣ Be an active advocate: Display the materials prominently and start the conversation chairside.
3️⃣ Drive the recall: Challenge your team to get every patient booked in for their next check-up before they leave the chair.
Are your practice recalls on top of their game? Let’s work together to protect our patients’ health and their wallets! 🦷💙
Dental Health Week is the Australian Dental Association's annual oral health campaign, which takes place in 2026 from 03 August to 09 August 2026.
