The importance of good content in posts for dentists

If you've published the same types of content over and over again, it's time to change and try some new ideas.  Content is an essential part of any marketing strategy, so you should think carefully before posting on your social networks or on the practice blog.  Will be post be relevant to your audience?  Does it fall in line with your brand?

Relevant posts have several benefits, such as:

  • help to make your dental practice relevant and position you as an authority in subjects in which you are an expert
  • alleviate the worries and provide valuable information for your target audience
  • improve your positioning in search engines, such as Google, which helps more people discover and find your dental clinic
  • promote engagement with your brand, improving customer loyalty
  • assist in the buyer's journey, making your patients and potential patients understand more about the importance of your dental services

All of this means more patients, increased loyalty, and differentiation of your dental clinic from your competition.

Social media post ideas for dentists

In order for your social media posts to be effective, it is essential that you know your target audience very well.  After all, a relevant post for some people may not be as interesting for others.  So focus on understanding exactly who your patients and potential patients are, their age, the main concerns, types of treatment they seek, income range, education level, etc.  The more information you have, the more accurate your posts will be and the more relevant they will be.  Below are some ideas that you can incorporate into your social media strategy:

1. Oral health tips

Knowing how to care for and maintain oral health is extremely important and fundamental for all patients.  Generally, these posts are very engaging, so it’s worth tailoring them to the characteristics of your audience.  If you provide dental care for children, for example, you can think of posts with tips that teach parents how to brush and care for their children's teeth.  For an older audience, it is possible to think of tips to preserve oral health in old age.  In addition to these, there are basic themes that are always successful, such as: correct ways to floss, better toothbrushes, correct way to brush your teeth, how to take care of your gum health, etc...

2. Oral aesthetics

If you provide services in this area, take advantage of your posts to explain the techniques, for whom they are indicated, and the possible results.  For example, how to whiten teeth, gum plastic surgery, whitening techniques, and others.

3. Orthodontics

Here the possibilities of social medi post topics are also quite varied.  You can explain, for example, the relationship between headaches and TMJ, the types of braces available, the importance of orthodontics for children, what types of braces are most used in childhood, from how old the child needs to be to use braces and other issues.

4. Dental clinic life and innovations

In addition to taking questions from your patients, use your social networks to demonstrate your clinic's uniqueness.  One tip is to use the 80-20 rule. That is, 80% of informative content and 20% of marketing content.  In this 20%, think of videos, images, and stories demonstrating your dental clinic's equipment, the backstage of everyday work, the courses your staff is taking, the recent dental innovations brought to the market, the comfort offered to patients, and everything that makes it your unique and exclusive practice.
