Overview
Social media is everywhere. As dentists, we have to face the fact that we are no longer the sole source of dental information for our patients. From oil pulling to using activated charcoal, our patients are using (and trusting) the internet and social media more than ever. Thus, it is imperative that we keep up with the times by utilizing social media to our advantages. This course will introduce the various social media platforms and how they can be utilized as instruments to connect with and educate patients both near and far. Additionally, this webinar will teach dental professionals quick tips to effectively use social media with the goal of building their professional brands, fostering current patient relationships, and bringing in new clientele.
