New year. New idea. Inaugural event. Dentistry has a Heart month is February 2009

Happy new year!!! Inaugural events are exciting. Things are surely cooking in Washington D.C.

Dentistry has a heart month is an exciting event. This year dentists can promote Dentistryhasaheart.com to their patients and their cardiologists. The website is initially developed to provide the dental community with products, letters and educational information about the health link between oral inflammation and heart disease.

Do you have articles that you would like posted? Please email them to jamisonconsulting@verizon.net. If you have ideas on how to present the dental/heart related marketing program, share them with us. This site is going to continue to develop over the years.

If asked what dentists want help with, I believe that it is comfort zone marketing. Educating patients is important. Health is a buzzword. Dentists and team members play a huge role in identifying health related issues such as high blood pressure. The patient may see their dentist more often than they see their doctors. Dentistry has a heart marries the best of education and marketing.

Blankets and Piggy Banks

We are so excited about our sixteenth annual session of Beyond Your Bottom Line which was held December 5-6, 2008 at the spectacular meeting room at the Alden Beach Hotel in St. Pete Beach. Mark Iacobelli, D.D.S. and I enjoyed hosting 23 participants, dentists and auxilliaries for a two day, information packed seminar on the subject of running your dental practice as a business. The ability to surprise these wonderful people with gifts of blankets, piggy banks and inspiration boards made me feel good about celebrating their contribution to dentistry. They deserved the celebration. You might wonder about the piggy banks. We filled them with coins because the theme was, “Change is good.”

Look for promotional products and uniforms for promoting Dentistry has a Heart month. You will see the products, articles and video streams to inform you of how to host Dentistry has a Heart month by the end of December. Dentistry has a Heart month is in February and coincides with American Heart Health month. Stay tuned.
