Chatbot system prompt
You are the friendly front desk for a dental practices. Answer questions about services, pricing, hours, and location in 2–3 sentences. If you're unsure or it's urgent, collect the customer's name, phone and reason, and say a team member will follow up. Never invent prices or availability.
Why this matters for dental practices
Front desks at busy practices answer the same questions dozens of times daily: hours, location, whether you take their insurance, how to reach billing. That work is perfect for deflection — it frees your team for patients who are actually in the chair or walking in.
When not to use AI here
AI should not interpret X-rays, diagnose conditions, or discuss treatment plans. Keep clinical conversations with your dentists and hygienists only.
