Abstract

Do you know the number one reason why patients don’t go to the dentist? FEAR! Fear of Pain, Anxiety, and Discomfort.
 
Could you significantly improve your patient’s experience and eliminate their fear by providing educational social media content? YES!
 
Could you substantially improve your patient’s overall health and experience by integrating minimally invasive technology into your practice? YES!
 
Could you grow your practice to another level with happy patients? YES!
 
Could you defeat dental fear with the power of social media? ABSOLUTELY!
 

The number one reason why patients don’t receive routine dental care is dental anxiety. In modern dental practices, professionals are meeting the needs of their patients by investing in technologies and changing the patient experience. These investments are costly, and dental professionals can utilize platforms like social media to raise awareness of how they provide solutions to their patient’s dental anxiety while growing their practice to use the technology investments at total capacity. With the rising influence of social media, dental professionals can leverage these platforms to disseminate a new patient experience free of dental fear with educational content, testimonial videos, case studies, and the benefits of good oral health for overall health. This strategy will attract new patients to your practice and provide a return on investment.

 

This course will highlight the significance of patient education in dentistry as well as how to harness the power of social media to engage and educate patients effectively. The dental hygiene department is a touch point for all patients and, accurately executed, is the life force of the practice. Therefore, this course will demonstrate how guided biofilm therapy (GBT) positively impacts patients’ health, experience, and satisfaction. We will comprehensively understand GBT, including its essential components and benefits to your patients.

 

Attendees will be equipped with actionable strategies, an understanding of content creation best practices, and a content plan to communicate the benefits of oral health through social media effectively.
