Summer is finally here, and it’s time to celebrate! The beginning of summer is the perfect time to invite parents to bring their kids to the dentist for a check-up, so remind patients to book those appointments before summer vacations kick off. At SmileMakers, we’ve rounded up a few of our favorite warm-weather prizes and ideas to ensure a thriving practice and healthy, happy patients this season and beyond!

Send a Sunny Reminder with Recall Cards 

With family vacations on the minds of many moms and dads, it can be easy to put appointments on the back burner. Before parents pack up for the warm holidays ahead, send them a gentle prompt to schedule a preventive check-up for their kiddos with recall cards. Starring the ocean’s sweetest sea turtle, our Disney Nemo Turtle Smile Laser Cards are completely customizable and make visit reminders feel more like receiving a postcard from a friend. Recall cards are a thoughtful, personal way to keep in touch with your patients, enrich your relationships, and inspire families to maintain stellar oral health with their favorite team of smile pros.

Stock Up on Summer-Themed Prizes

From tropical trips to backyard barbecues and picnics in the park, your patients will be reveling in the rays and enjoying endless outdoor play. Why not fuel the fun and keep families coming back to your practice with festive giveaways? We’ve got you covered with a full spectrum of goodies that will complement all their summer activities and make it easy to curate adventure-ready gift bags for your patients. Made for breezy days and balmy memories, kids of all ages will love giving our metallic Pinwheels a spin all season long! As summer’s go-to accessory, be sure to include our vibrant Neon Shades. Practical, stylish, and oh-so-cool, these classic specs are essential for any blissfully bright escapade.

Use Rewards to Reinforce Strong Smiles 

While your patients may be on vacay mode, that doesn’t mean their dental hygiene has to follow suit! Help their oral health shine all summer with exciting incentives from SmileMakers. Give your patients SmileCare™ Adult Pre-Pasted Disposable Toothbrushes to help them show off and take care of their brilliant smiles all vacation long!

These vibrant, on-the-go toothbrushes will encourage strong smiles even when they are having a blast on vacation.

Providing SmileCare™ Adult Stow & Go Travel Toothbrushes will be a life-saver for parents on vacation with the kiddos! These have extra-soft nylon bristles and are easily accessible.
