Even though we are enjoying the warm days of the middle of summer, August is just around the corner. We all know what that means: back-to-school season! Before heading back to school, it is important to make sure kids are at their healthiest. Preparing for going back to school may look a little different this year, especially with an increased focus on health and wellness. Parents will be looking to their healthcare providers for advice on how to prep their kiddos for returning to the classroom. Recall cards are a friendly way to reach out to families and remind them that you are here for them.
With increased awareness and additional measures being taken to ensure cleanliness and sanitation, there is more waste than ever being generated. This means more single-use and disposable products. Dining in less means more take-out containers and plastic utensils. At the grocery store, we are no longer bringing bags from home for fear of contamination. In the drive-through coffee shop, we can’t bring our own reusable cups. At least for now, we’ve all had to shift our focus from eliminating single-use products to keeping contamination at bay. As a business owner, there are steps you can take to keep your practice as green as possible and set an example for your community. SmileMakers is here for you with recommendations of eco-friendly options to help patients, and the planet, stay healthy.
During quarantine, with all of the extra time at home, we have all been watching more TV and movies. Families with children have probably been watching Netflix, Disney+, and tons of kid-friendly films to keep little ones entertained and parents sane. Kids love to watch and rewatch shows that feature friendly faces because they are comfortable and familiar. Incorporating these characters into your office will help young patients feel more comfortable at your practice too. SmileMakers is here to help you with ideas on how to surprise your little patients with the familiar faces they know and love.
If you have already reopened your practice, or your patient load is increasing each day, you’ve likely emerged from the outbreak in a better position than many other local businesses. “Phase 3” or “close contact” businesses such as hair salons, nail salons, barbershops, gyms, movie theaters, and tattoos shops may not be allowed to open yet, or may be encountering consumer reluctance to visit, putting even more strain on these business owners financially, emotionally, and physically.
