All forms of tobacco are equally harmful to health, says Marja Juselius , an oral hygienist who has worked with young patients in Finland for many years.

Part of marketing your practice is telling your story to the people you are trying to reach, so they feel like they know you before they ever come through the doors. One of the best and most powerful ways to do that is through video, and these days, there is a wide variety of video styles to choose from. It is easier than ever for a dental practice to take advantage of the video + social media combination to boost the effectiveness of its marketing.

Most dental team training programs have a glaring omission: clinical team members are often not trained to answer patients’ questions regarding fees. Administrative team members at the front deal with these questions every day, and many are quite adept at explaining value for the dollar with regard to proposed treatment. However, when patients turn to an assistant or a hygienist chairside and express concern about dental fees, the clinical staff are often unprepared.

Our patients are sooooooo insurance driven. (Does my insurance cover that?) “Our patients are sooooooo insurance driven.” “They only want it if insurance covers it.” “If they would just take insurance out of the equation, treatment acceptance would be so different!” We hear things like this from dentists and team members all the time.

Today, I heard someone say that missed calls at a dental office are an epidemic, which is dramatic, but it’s kinda true. Call handling metrics are something we’ve been analyzing since 2013. After scoring something like 2 million dental patient phone calls, we can tell you that around 400,000 were missed. Yikes. There are 4 KPIs dentists should care about.

One of the things that I love the most about my work at Dental Products Report is that the publication and our parent company have a tremendous focus on education. Our world and profession are constantly changing and knowledge is increasing at an exponential rate. Basically that means if you are not moving forward, you're moving backward. Doctors *need* to work at staying up to date with that constantly changing knowledge base and I am incredibly proud of helping to be a part of that process.

A landing page is kind of like a table of contents, offering viewers an easy portal into pages and topics belonging to a specific area of your website. While they may seem pretty basic website design elements, landing pages are actually much more than meets the eye. For one: they can provide a hotbed of search engine optimization value. For another: they make the entire experience more user-friendly for the viewer.
