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.

(Note: If there are other months or topics you would like to find ideas for simply put the keyword into the “search” bar to the right of this page or if you’re reading this on your phone it will be at the end of this page. )

Community Involvement: Donations – Open your office as a Drop-Off Location for donations of non-perishable food items or winter gear for families/individuals in need.

Patient Appreciation Gift Idea – Cookie Day: 4th and Hot Cocoa Day: 12th – All month long you can give away individually wrapped cookies with a packet of cocoa and a tag/label attached that says “Warm Wishes for a Sweet Winter“.

To encourage patients to keep their scheduled appointments during December, consider having a drawing for a gift basket (ie: filled with hot cocoa supplies) or gift card to a local business that your patients can enter to win when they come in for their dental appointment before December 23rd.

Travel Toothbrush Bags – Many of your patients travel during the holidays – Surprise them with a small gift for their travels. Put together toothbrush bags that include a toothbrush, floss, toothpaste, and a “what to do in a dental emergency” handout. You could also include other travel-sized items such as lotion, Advil, lip balm, etc.

Gift Certificates: Remember, Gift Certificates/Cards for Teeth Whitening or Dental Treatment should always be available for your patients to purchase as gifts for their loved ones.

Educational Idea –National 12-hour Fresh Breath Day: 12th – Great Dental Education Opportunity to discuss with your patients and on your social media platforms the possible causes of bad breath and treatment remedies.
