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.

Once the form is submitted:

  • The patient is removed from all reactivation lists.

  • The staff member receives automatic credit for the call.
