Dental hygienists clean teeth, help patients look after their gums and give advice on keeping teeth healthy. Many are self-employed, working at several practices or running their own rooms, and patients usually pay per appointment, often every few months. Missed appointments cost them income, and patients who book directly may not want to pay at a reception desk. A payments app that handles appointment payments, deposits and regular visits can win dental hygienists, and every patient who pays them sees your app.

Take a deposit at booking
A small deposit paid by link when the appointment is booked means fewer missed visits, and the rest can be paid by link on the day.

Make regular visits easy to pay
Patients who come back every few months can pay each time from a link sent with their reminder, without handing over card details at a desk.
Grow through dental and health practices
Hygienists work with dentists, small clinics and other health practitioners. When those practices take payments through your app, each hygienist can bring more of them onto it.
