ACCOUNTING

Additional ways to communicate with patients

You don’t necessarily have to wait until patients come in for a visit to talk to them about the danger of DIY dental trends. For some patients, waiting until their next appointment may be too late. In addition to in-office conversations, consider other communication channels to help educate your patients.

Website FAQs

Adding a section on your website for frequently asked questions (FAQs) can be helpful, particularly if the content includes information about DIY dental trends and an explanation of the risks these trends present to you patients.

Email alerts

Newsletter or blog

Practices that publish monthly or quarterly newsletters or blogs can include a message from your practice and/or links to articles about these dangerous dental trends, clarifying risks and recommending safer and more effective alternatives.

Teens and young adults may be more likely to try unsafe DIY trends - often without their parents’ approval (or even awareness). For dental practices that serve a significant number of these patients, consider sending an email directly to parents informing them of these trends and stressing the risks involved.

Regardless of how you communicate the message, focus on helping your patients understand why these DIY treatments are dangerous. The more information and education you offer as a dental professional, the more likely your patients will benefit from long-term dental health.
