Preventing Bacteria from Ganging up with other Bacteria could help stop Gum Disease
Filed under: Email Marketing, Interactive Internet Dental Marketing
New research suggests that preventing oral bacteria called Treponema denticola from ganging up with other pathogenic oral bacteria could help prevent gum disease and tooth loss.
ScienceDaily (Feb. 7, 2012) — “Researchers from the University of Bristol have discovered that a molecule on the surface of Treponema called CTLP acts as the key pass that grants the bacterium access to the community, by allowing it to latch onto other oral bacteria. Once incorporated, CTLP in conjunction with other bacterial molecules can start to wreak havoc by inhibiting blood clotting (leading to continued bleeding of the gums) and causing tissue destruction.” http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/02/120207202628.htm
This research supports previous lab studies and reports on the harmful effect of oral bacteria. (Your Dentistry Practice) regular encourages and tells patients to brush teeth daily and maintaining a healthy mouth is vitally important to keep harmful mouth bacteria at bay. Dr. (Your Name) educates his patients about proper techniques to for brushing teeth. He knows that brushing at least twice daily can prevent future gum disease.

Eliminate The Guilt Factor

You come to the office everyday intent on giving every patient the best quality care that you can. Inevitably, the patients complain about the cost of treatment and how they just bought YOU a new car. Although you know that you receive only a portion of the profits your business is making, you start to feel uncomfortable and even embarrassed about the amount of money you make. You rationalize that you spent a lot of time and money on dental school and you deserve the pay you get. You know it is not as much as some doctors are making, but still you feel guilty and little by little it causes your positive attitude to diminish and it decreases the satisfaction you get from your work. You imagine telling the patient where to get off, but you can’t really tell a patient off now can you! Well, you could, but that wouldn’t be the wisest business decision!
The problem really isn’t that the patients like to complain and remind you of how much money you make. The problem is that the patients haven’t come to appreciate the work that has been done for them and you have not properly instilled the trust they need to consider you the Best Dentist Ever.
So maybe if you just smile a little more and tell them you’re the best, they will buy it and you can be happily guilt free!! Or you can learn better ways to present yourself and your treatment plans so patients will accept more treatment and not complain about the price! Call us now at 805-423-2512 or email us at info@dentalmarketinghub.com to eliminate your guilt factor.
YES, YES YOU DID! YOU CHASED THAT PATIENT RIGHT OUT THE DOOR!

Ms. Jones came for her first appointment with you. She filled out the forms and waited to be seated. Your assistant took her back to an operatory and took a full set of x-rays. You waltz in and greeted Ms. Jones making all the necessary pleasantries. You reviewed her x-rays and intelligently explained to her what was wrong with her teeth. At the end of the appointment Ms. Jones paid her bill, but refused to schedule her next appointment using the excuse she would have to check her calendar then call. You just chased her right out the door!!!
Even though, you may very well be the most charming person on the planet, are the patients really buying what you’re selling? Believe it or not, not every patient trust that you actually know what you’re doing! They came in for a routine visit and you’re telling them they need treatment. Dollar signs are flashing in their head, along with the thoughts of “is this doctor for real”! The patient wants to trust you, but they don’t. The patient never gains the trust they need and they leave the practice.
Considering that most doctors and staff tend to treat patients like they are part of the procedure instead of a valued customer with individual needs, you lose the patient. You need to meet their expectations before they can commit to calling you their dentist. Learning how to meet each person’s expectations and figuring out what motivates each individual to buy will increase your patient retention, raise your treatment plan acceptance rate, and multiply your profits.
Smiling politely and asking Ms. Jones how her day has been, isn’t enough anymore! Patients no longer go year after year to the local dentist because it’s close to their house or because their whole family has been going there for years. Patients want to go to the dentist that they feel a connection with and who they think they can trust. They want to know that they are getting the best dental treatment and GUESS WHAT; they are willing to pay for it!
You can’t blame anyone but yourself and you can’t hide from what your numbers say about your retention rate. So go look in the mirror and tell yourself that you can fix this!! At Dental Marketing Hub, we can show you and your staff how to effectively analyze each patient so that you can meet their expectations. Call us now at 805-423-2512 or email us at info@dentalmarketinghub.com and we will help you stop chasing patients out the door!

What could Dental Implants do For Me?
by Dr. Doe,
Hello,
You might have asked yourself at some point while reading your information report or one of my emails ,”Well, Doctor, what could dental implants do FOR ME?”
First of all, it’s a life changing option to actually address the problems, not just cover up this ugly situation. Here are the benefits:
- You might regain 90% of your chewing force taking you back to the way you could eat when you were 18 years old. Research shows us that has been well studied.
- It aids you to more fully chew your food for proper digestion with confidence and comfort.
- It could give you back the 10 years of life that was taken from you when you lost your teeth.
- It can STOP the permanent loss of jaw bone.
- You could gain the force to eat more closely to natural teeth.
- You might enjoy the taste of your food without additive to hide the messy denture adhesive and thick plastic bases.
- Now you can enjoy eating while reducing your salt and sugar intake to help control high blood pressure and diabetes.
- You might not experience that gagging feeling from loose fitting dentures.
- Your appearance could improve with confidence when you smile, talk, and laugh with friends and family.
As you can see, there is a lot to be offered from dental implants. But it can only happen for you if you take the next step and pick up the phone and call my office at: (760) 567-1234.
