Did you know that February is Gum Disease Awareness Month? Almost half of American adults suffer from periodontal disease. Your patients need to know that you can help boost their gum health and offer solutions to keep periodontal disease at bay. SmileMakers can help you find creative ways to reach out to your patients, offer helpful tips, and encourage them to give you a call to keep their gum health in check. With these go-to pointers, you';ll keep patients aware of the consequences of gum disease and help them prioritize their oral care all year long.

Get Social

One of the best ways to directly connect with your patients at a low cost is through a dedicated social media campaign. With a collection of Facebook and Instagram posts, you can spread awareness for Gum Disease Awareness Month, highlight the importance of regular check-ups, and encourage patients to schedule an appointment. Looking for content ideas to get the word out? Interview your dental hygienist about the importance of periodontal maintenance and gum disease awareness. You could also offer a temporary special or discount on periodontal cleanings to spark engagement and drive conversions.
