Hygiene Reappointment Rate
The percentage of hygiene patients who book their next visit before leaving.
Hygiene reappointment rate measures how many patients schedule their next hygiene appointment before they walk out the door.
How to calculate it
Patients who rescheduled at checkout ÷ total hygiene patients seen × 100.
What's a good number?
You want this above 85%. Top practices hit 90%+. Below 80% and your recall system is leaking. patients are falling off and your hygiene schedule will have gaps three to six months from now.
Why it matters
Hygiene is the backbone of a dental practice. It drives recall, keeps patients engaged, and generates a steady base of production. If patients aren't rebooking, you're constantly trying to fill holes instead of building on a stable foundation.
How to track it
Most PMS systems can report on this, but it often requires running a manual report. Denta tracks this automatically and trends it over time so you can catch drops before they become a scheduling problem.
