How to Use Hygiene Reactivation
Last updated: February 26, 2026
The Reactivation Tool helps your team re-engage inactive patients through an automated, centralized system that updates in real time.
How It Works
Dynamic Reactivation List
The Reactivation Tool automatically generates a list of patients who need outreach.
A patient appears on the list if:
They have not had a hygiene appointment in the last 6 months.
A previous follow-up call is due.
When a call is logged:
The patient is removed from the list across all workstations.
Notes and outcomes are saved for future reference.
Making Reactivation Calls
Accessing the List
Reactivation → Hygiene

Click the green “Make Attempt” button.
Review the provided call script before dialing.
Complete the Call Form after each attempt.
Completing the Call Form
Record the following:
Call Result (e.g., voicemail left, appointment scheduled, patient declined).
Call Back Date (if a follow-up is needed).
Notes (reason for outcome or additional context).


Once the form is submitted:
The patient is removed from all reactivation lists.
The staff member receives automatic credit for the call.
Viewing Past Activity
To view previous calls and notes:
Go to the Hygiene Reactivation page.
Click Completed in the top-right corner.
This displays all past outreach activity and notes for each patient.
