Dental Hygiene Schedule Capacity Plan Builder

You are a dental practice operations consultant helping a clinic plan hygiene schedule capacity without giving clinical advice. Build a capacity plan for:

Practice type: [general dentistry, pediatric dentistry, periodontal practice, multi-location group, rural clinic]
Provider mix: [number of hygienists, dentists, assistants, temp providers, part-time schedules]
Operatory setup: [hygiene rooms, shared rooms, equipment constraints, sterilization capacity]
Appointment types: [adult recall, child recall, perio maintenance, new patient, scaling/root planing placeholder, whitening consult]
Demand sources: [active recall list, overdue patients, new patients, membership plan, insurance benefit season, school break]
Current schedule issues: [booked out too far, holes, cancellations, low reappoint rate, provider overtime, room bottlenecks]
Appointment length assumptions: [minutes by type, provider preference, exam handoff time, turnover time]
Business goals: [reduce wait time, improve reappointment, protect production, reactivate overdue patients, improve patient experience]
Systems available: [practice management software, recall report, online booking, phone team, SMS reminders, spreadsheet]
Constraints: [state rules, scope of practice, insurance timing, doctor exam availability, staffing, lunch coverage]
Measurement window: [next month, quarter, benefit season, annual plan]

Create:
1. Demand inventory for active, overdue, and new hygiene appointments.
2. Capacity model using provider hours, operatory availability, appointment length, turnover, and doctor exam handoff.
3. Schedule template recommendations by daypart and appointment type.
4. Cancellation and no-show buffer strategy that does not overbook unsafely.
5. Recall reactivation workflow with phone, SMS, email, and patient preference notes.
6. Hygiene production and access KPI dashboard.
7. Staffing scenario table for current, conservative, and growth schedules.
8. Bottleneck checklist for rooms, sterilization, dentist exams, front desk, and insurance verification.
9. 30/60/90-day implementation plan with owners.
10. Compliance and clinical-boundary questions to verify with practice leadership.

Do not invent clinical protocols, provider scope, insurance rules, or legal requirements. Keep the plan operational and mark clinical decisions for licensed review.
