Many cancer treatments have side effects that affect a person’s mouth, teeth, and salivary glands. Dental and oral side effects can make it difficult to eat, talk, chew, or swallow. Fortunately, under your care, you can help your patients lower the risk of these side effects and manage them if they do happen.

Yours for Greater Success,

Dental Marketing and Practice Growth Tips and Ideas for June 2022

Hello Friends –

The month of June will close out your second quarter for the year; are you on track to exceed your goals? If yes, congratulations! If not, there is still time to make it happen.

Before I share my practice growth and marketing tips and ideas for June 2022, here are some questions to consider:

Of your active patients (seen in the last 18 months) how many have a next appointment scheduled and how many do not?
How many patients left the practice this year?
What can you do together as a team to retain more patients by consistently exceeding their expectations?
What can you do to welcome more new patients and engage with the people in your community?
What can you do together as a team to help more patients say yes to your very best care? When your patients are healthy – the practice is healthy.

To assist you in getting a baseline of where your numbers are at, like within minutes – if your PMS is either Dentrix, Eaglesoft, or Open Dental you can request a complimentary, no-obligation practice data snapshot here: Game-Changing Awareness from Dental Intelligence – Within minutes we’ll identify your practice’s strengths and uncover hidden opportunities. I am happy to assist you with this at no charge.

Doctors, if you’re struggling to reach your practice goals or want to enjoy improved practice growth – feel free to contact me for a complimentary, no-obligation 30-minute telephone consultation at bhaydenconsulting@gmail.com to see if a coaching relationship is right for you.

June is Oral Health Month & Smile Month – Great opportunities to encourage the community and your patients to smile healthier & happier.

Theme: Summer Sun & Smiles

Focus: Preventive Care (Cleanings, Sealants, Mouthguards, and Fluoride for Adults and Children)

Goal: Raise awareness of the importance of preventive dental care (getting patients back on track with regular dental visits), take better care of your current patients, increase production, and bring in new patients.

Example of Scripting for Sealants:

Sealants: “A Tooth Without A Sealant is like a Car Without A Seat Belt” Dental Sealants Protect Your Teeth Against Decay and Cavities.

Educational Opportunity ~

Men’s Health Week: 14^th -20^th/ Compared to women, men are less likely to visit a dentist, oftentimes, only seeing a dentist when a problem arises. Share dental health tips for men on your website, and social media sites.

February’s Children’s Dental Health Month Tips and Ideas

Hello Friends ~

February is National Children’s Dental Health Month, what do you have planned to help educate families in your community about the need for better dental health?

Even with the changes and limitations that the pandemic has brought upon us, there are still wonderful opportunities to enjoy the privilege of safely helping the children in your respective communities to smile happier and healthier.

Be sure to see Pediatric Dental Marketing Ideas for how to Consistently Exceed Parent & Patient Expectations and Consistently Be Great! Visit here: Pediatric Dental Marketing Ideas

Here are a few tips and ideas for February’s Children’s Dental Health Month

Dental Education Via Social Media Platforms – Take advantage of your office social media platforms and website to share a variety of fun and educational posts and short videos related to children’s dental health. This is so easy, and free!

Content Ideas for Posts and Videos:

Healthy Lunch/Snack Ideas
How much sugar is in your drink or favorite snacks?
What to do in a Dental Emergency?
Ortho Care While at School
Dental Hygiene with Braces
Daily Toothbrushing Chart
Dental Health Tips (Importance of sealants, fluoride, mouthguards, regular dental visits.)
What kind of toothbrush, toothpaste, floss, and mouth rinse is best?
Baby Bottle Tooth Decay
Tongue-Tie – What is it and how is it treated?

More Content Ideas – If you’re looking for Dental Health Month activities, crafts, printables, etc. please see my Pinterest board: Children’s Dental Health Month Ideas

School Dental Health Presentations – Typically, during Dental Health Month visits are made to the schools by dental office teams or children visit the office for an in-office field trip. If the Pandemic prevents you from visiting the schools or from them visiting your office, what about offering them a Zoom field trip?

Give Kids a Smile Day – Here are some ideas and tips to help you host a successful Give Kids a Smile Day in your office.

The ADA website has an excellent Give Kids A Smile Toolbox https://www.ada.org/en/public-programs/give-kids-a-smile It’s loaded with information such as Planning, Promotion, Forms, etc. As well, they provide guidance for hosting GKAS during the Pandemic.

Advertising/Marketing your Event – Here are just a few ways to do this:

Social Media Pages ~ Make good use of all your social media platforms to share information about GKAS day with posts and videos.
TV News ~ Fax & Email a press release.
Fliers ~ Create fliers for in-office use and to give out to those in your community.

It’s a fun day – exhausting yes, and a little heartbreaking but it feels good to volunteer your time and donate your services to help so many children in the community.

Special Offers during February – Consider having special pricing or promotions on Sealants, Ortho, Fluoride, Mouthguards, etc.
