Hello Friends,

While we are still very much enjoying summer, as a mother of two school-aged children I’m forced to start preparing for the dreaded Back-to-School season.

However, for your dental practice, this is a great time to educate the community on the importance of good dental health for their children as well as for the teachers.

Here are some ideas to help make the back-to-school season fun for the community and profitable for your dental office.

Sneak Some Zucchini Onto Your Neighbor’s Porch Night: August 8^th – I’m serious; it’s a real day in August! While you probably don’t want to visit your patient’s homes during the night, you can easily have a basket of zucchini at the office for your patients’ to take.
