Dental Social Media Content Tips For High Engagement
Whether your dental social media engagement and content is just scraping by, or you are on top of things and posting quality content that gets engagement (i.e. likes, comments, shares.) there is most definitely still room for growth!
Why Is Engagement So Vital To Effective Practice Marketing?
Your Patients’ Perception Of You And Your Office Is Directly Influenced By What You Post On Social Media.
And, with more dental patients online than we have ever seen using social media to find a provider, (thank you, quarantine.) you’ve got to have a presence that makes your practice look fantastic.
Patients are looking for a practice that provides useful and entertaining information. Dental patients are more than willing to engage with their dental practice online. You’ve just got to give them a good reason to!
3 Dental Social Media Content Tips
1. Using Social Signs To Create Engaging Content
Although one of the main goals of dental social media marketing is to attract new patients, we all know it costs your practice more to get a new dental patient than to retain your current patients. That’s why we like to focus on marketing strategies that show your current patients that you care about them. Dental practices that show their patients that they care have more loyal patients and a higher retention rate. The purpose of dental social media is to show patients that you care about people, not just teeth.
There are many dental social media ideas out there. The truth is, many of them won’t attract attention and engagement. You don’t want to waste your time on social media content that doesn’t work. You want the kind of dental social media engagement that helps you meet your bottom line.
“Content Builds Relationships. Relationships Are Built On Trust. Trust Drives Revenue.”

So, you know that you need content that attracts new patients and fosters relationships with current patients. But, what does that content look like? How does your dental team find time to post content like that? That’s where the dental marketing experts step in.
