I’ve been getting better floss adoption using a two-minute chairside “choose-your-tool” demo with waxed floss, Soft-Picks, and a water flosser, plus a quick swipe of disclosing solution so they see what’s left behind. We add a 48-hour text reminder with their chosen tool and a 2-week check-in; adherence in my op jumped from about 35% to about 60% over three months. Anyone else layering brief follow-ups like this, and what scripts or tools are sticking for you?
I’ve had similar results doing the two-minute pick-your-tool too, but I add a 30-second ‘lip seal + low pressure’ water flosser demo so it doesn’t spray everywhere — , that mess loses people. > with their chosen tool and a 2-week check-in; adherence in my op jumped from about 35% to about 60% (Solid jump — adding two disclosing tablets to send home plus a 48-hour ‘show us the purple’ text nudged us closer to 70%.) Tiny tweak: we moved the check-in to 7–10 days because week two felt too far for new habits.
We carved out a daily 15‑min follow‑up sprint at 1:10 and use Weave (https://www.getweave.com) to auto‑text the 24–48 hr check‑in first, then I call only the flags, which kept my Tuesday coDiagnostiX block intact; if it’s a graft or sinus lift, I still call same day. Would a text‑first triage with a set call window keep your lunch free without denting acceptance?
