The other big reality is that it doesn’t really matter whether you are the best dentist unless people know something about you and you are engaged in their dialogue they will not become your patient. Dentists have to work at getting patients now – read the article http://dentalmarketingguaranteed.com/dental-advertising – Dental Advertising – 8 Myths About Dental Advertising which talks about some of the realities for dental practices in this economy.

As the owner of a dentistry office, one of the most difficult problems you can face is advertising. Integrating a dental marketing program with today’s technology is critical for the success of your business.

Our profession has certain rules when it comes to advertising and everyone of us must ensure that we follow them
How you market yourself to your patients completely depends on your skills, but we must realise that we belong to a noble profession and we are not salesmen.

Advertise that the use of lasers is painless, heals faster, or provides better results than other dental procedures.
Solicit patients for dental services in person or via telephone. You may however communicate with current and former patients to schedule appointments or offer follow-up care without violating the Board of Dentistry rules.
Advertise yourself as a specialist in an area of dentistry not recognized by the Board of Dentistry as a specialty. The board recognizes as a specialty only those specialties recognized by the Indian Dental Association. Cosmetic dentistry, facial pain therapy, and implantology are not IDA-recognized specialties. The only specialty areas recognized by the IDA are:

Oral and maxillofacial pathology.
Oral and maxillofacial radiology.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics
Pediatric dentistry.
Periodontics.
Prosthodontics
Dental public health.
Endodontics
Do not Advertise an unearned academic degree (e.g., honorary degrees or those awarded by educational institutions not accredited by a generally recognized accrediting body).
Do not Advertise a non-health academic degree if the public is likely to assume that is related to your qualifications as a practitioner.
