The platform offers simple and convenient ways to increase your visibility and connect with your customers. Unfortunately, not everything about the Yelp experience is quite so positive.* While there's no doubt that it's worth participating on the platform, Yelp is ultimately still a business. Turning free users into paid members is a key part of the company's strategy, so it's not surprising that Yelp's sales team can be rather persistent. If you aren't prepared to deal with them, the sales calls can sometimes seem like little more than a burden. In reality, however, the calls are far from pointless distractions. Yelp agents can provide valuable, cost-effective tools, resources and solutions to help you succeed and attract more customers. The problem is that most small businesses simply don't have the time or expertise needed to field frequent sales calls, evaluate available offers and manage the minutiae of a digital advertising campaign.

For dental practices, however, they can also be notoriously difficult to collect. The truth is that many patients simply don't think to leave reviews after visiting their dentist.* *It might seem that the obvious solution is to ask your patients for reviews, but is that really a smart strategy? More importantly, is it even permissible? Unfortunately, it depends on the platform. To manage your practice's digital presence effectively, you'll first need to master online review etiquette.* For many, a trip to the dentist can be an anxiety-inducing experience even in the best of circumstances. Choosing a new dental practice may be even more stressful, but reviews from real people can help reassure your prospective patients that they're in good hands. Think of it as a modern twist on good old-fashioned word-of-mouth advertising. In addition, genuine reviews play an important role in enhancing the visibility of your practice. Many of the algorithms that determine where businesses rank and which businesses are recommended on various platforms give reviews considerable weight. In other words, more reviews from patients can ensure your practice is seen by more people. If you haven't already [signed up for a Google Business Profile](/dentists-guide-to-google-my-business), you're missing out on some invaluable advertising tools. Among other things, a Business Profile allows you to easily collect, display and reply to reviews for your practice. Google encourages all businesses to ask their customers for reviews and even provides a convenient link you can share with your patients. In fact, the search giant recommends including review links in emails, text messages and other communications. It's important to note that you shouldn't offer incentives in exchange for reviews. You should, however, make an effort to respond to both positive and negative patient reviews. Engaging with your reviewers makes them feel heard, increases trust in your practice and encourages others to leave reviews as well. For consumers evaluating businesses, Yelp is widely considered one of the most trusted sources of information. One way the platform has preserved that reputation is by enforcing a famously [strict review policy](/why-does-yelp-filter-reviews) that expressly forbids solicitation. According to Yelp, this is intended to ensure that only customers who feel compelled to contribute and share their experiences will leave reviews. Of course, that doesn't mean you can't take other steps to encourage engagement. The key to attracting more Yelp reviews is to draw more of your patients to your profile. Prominently displaying the Yelp badge on your website can serve as a valuable reminder, as can placing Yelp signs or stickers in visible areas around your practice. It's also perfectly acceptable to share existing Yelp reviews on your website, on social media or as part of your marketing materials. You work hard to deliver a great experience for your patients, so why not let them work for you? By taking the time to implement a few simple strategies, you can turn online reviews into one of your dental practice's most powerful advertising tools.  - [About Us](/en/about-us "About Us") - [Services](/en/services "Services") -

Before we can do that, however, we first need to make sure those who need a helping hand are able to find it. In an increasingly digital world, that means taking advantage of online marketing. The good news is that you don't need to be a marketing professional to establish a presence for your practice. All you need to do to get started is understand how prospective patients search for your dental business and ensure the details they find are correct. That's exactly what makes [Google My Business](https://support.google.com/business/answer/6300665?hl=en) such a valuable tool for those with limited time and marketing resources. *\*Please note that shortly after the publication of this article Google renamed* ***Google My Business*** *to* ***Google Business Profile.*** *Many people still refer to the platform as Google My Business and for the purpose of this article, we will as well.* When people need local goods or services and aren't sure where to find them, they overwhelmingly turn to Google. In fact, a staggering [97% of search engine users](https://www.socialmediatoday.com/news/12-local-seo-stats-every-business-owner-and-marketer-should-know-in-2019-i/549079/) say they use web searches to locate and learn about local businesses, including but not limited to dental practices. Prospective patients are likely finding out about your practice in the same way, but beyond just online patient reviews, what are they really learning? Google My Business (GMB) is built to help you answer that question. Simply put, a GMB listing is a free tool that allows you to manage the information Google displays in your Business Profile. This is the listing that appears for your business across the search giant's suite of products, including Google Maps, Google Organic Search and Local Search. Ideally, the Business Profile for your dental office is designed to include your address, contact information, office hours and anything else potential patients might need at a glance. Despite its apparent simplicity, Google My Business is one of the most powerful and versatile free marketing tools available to you. Whether you're actively trying to grow your practice or simply looking to establish your digital marketing strategy, creating a GMB profile is worth a bit of your time. Also, did we mention it's free? Google is always going to serve up information about your business, so shouldn't you make sure it's coming from you? Even if you don't intend to do anything else, consider starting a GMB profile and entering your business' basic information. This benefits both current and potential patients, ensuring they can quickly find details like contact numbers, appointment links and business hours of operation whenever they need them. If you're interested in reaching more people, few tools are more valuable than local searches. On average, [88% of people](https://seotribunal.com/blog/stats-to-understand-seo/#local-seo-facts) who are looking for a business in Google will call or visit within 24 hours. A well-done GMB profile is among the most effective ways to turn more of those searches into dental patients visiting your office. In fact, Google My Business is by far the [most important factor](https://www.brightlocal.com/learn/key-ranking-factors-for-local-seo/) in determining your business' local search engine rankings. Just as your SEO efforts can move your website toward the top of traditional web results, an optimized Business Profile can help you achieve prominent placement in local searches. A built-in analytics tab also provides data and insights on how people are finding you and how they're engaging with your profile. In addition to managing your Business Profile, Google My Business also provides a variety of tools to help you engage with patients more directly. You can showcase and respond to both positive and negative reviews, collect feedback and even create posts and upload photos that highlight your business or provide important details. Google Maps (Google Places) users can also like and follow your business, allowing you to send them notifications and foster stronger social connections. The GMB platform can also serve key customer service functions. Perhaps the most useful is the Book an Appointment feature, which lets patients set up appointments quickly and seamlessly from within your profile. The details are even handled by one of Google's supported scheduling providers, so there's no added hassle on your end. Although some of the Google My Business platform's features can seem overwhelming, establishing a profile is easier than you might think. Following a [step-by-step tutorial](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81nhmYRTYZM) can be very helpful, but it only takes a few steps to get started. To join Google My Business, you'll first need a standard Google account for your business that is separate from any personal accounts you own. If you don't already have one, simply create a new account and select the "To manage my business" option. Next, visit the [Google My Business webpage](http://google.com/business) and click the “Manage now” button. Continue by filling out the required information for your business. Once you're armed with your new GMB account, you'll need to connect it to a Business Profile. In most cases, this profile will already exist and should pop up when conduct a relevant search for the name on Google Maps. To take ownership of the profile, simply click "Claim this business" and follow the instructions. Once again, make sure you're signed in with your business' Google account before doing so. If a profile doesn't appear in the Google search terms results, select the "Add a missing place" option and fill out the requested information. Note that this pop-up form also allows you to claim the business directly without having to repeat the instructions above. After staking your claim to your Business Profile, the final step is to verify ownership. Depending on your business and the information available in your Google account, this process may happen immediately. If it doesn't, you'll simply be asked to enter a five-digit authorization code in your Google My Business dashboard. You may receive this code through email, text or postal mail depending on your account's security requirements. Simply establishing a Google My Business profile is a great start, but it doesn't guarantee success. To manage your business like a pro, you'll need to avoid the issues that plague so many ineffective, low-quality profiles. on your own Business Profile. Getting the basic details correct is essential, but be sure to select the not only the right Primary Category, but accurate secondary categories as well. Listing under the wrong business category can penalize your business and make it harder to find for people in need of your services. Be sure to set an accurate category to represent your business. Whether your practice focuses on family dentistry, cosmetic dentistry or pediatric dentistry be sure to select the correct primary category and pad the listing with accurate additional categories.  If you aren't adding authentic photos (read... not "stock photos") to your profile, you're missing a huge opportunity. Whether it's logos, portraits of staff, your cover photo or photos of your office, pictures can help you attract attention and set yourself apart from the crowd. In particular, it's always a good idea to post a few high-quality photos showing the interior and exterior photos of your office. Depending on how you handle them, online reviews can be one of the best or worst aspects of your Business Profile. Positive reviews (actually, *all* reviews) are essential in your business' [local search ranking,](https://support.google.com/business/answer/7091?hl=en#zippy=%2Cmanage-respond-to-reviews) so it's worth gently reminding happy patients to leave them. When they do, be sure to reply and thank them. If you receive a negative business review, respond graciously and take whatever steps you can to resolve the issue. It can be tempting to write a long, detailed description for your business, but Google's search format means users will only see the first 250 characters. In other words, brevity is key. A good description should clearly and succinctly communicate what services you offer, detail what sets you apart and provide any other essential info readers might need when making a decision. Within these first 250 characters, be sure to list the dental services which are most important and will appeal to your target audience and customer base.  With Google My Business, you don't need to invest a lot of time or money to improve your online marketing, improve your SEO strategy and grow your business. In a few quick steps, you can make it easy for people to discover your practice and start getting the help they need. - [About Us](/en/about-us "About Us") - [Services](/en/services "Services") - [Web Design](/en/web-design "Web Design") -

However, building a successful presence requires understanding how the platform works and how to make sure it's working for you. One particular aspect that often causes consternation is Yelp's practice of filtering user feedback. To see what drives this mysterious vanishing act, we need to start by taking a peek under the hood. When researching local businesses, Yelp is frequently among the first sources that people turn to for information. In part, that's because the platform employs a [sophisticated algorithm](https://trust.yelp.com/recommendation-software/) to automatically weed out seemingly irrelevant, inauthentic or otherwise unhelpful reviews. While this certainly makes Yelp more trustworthy to consumers, thus making it more powerful and influential as an advertising tool, the automated filtering process is not without collateral damage. Most hidden reviews get flagged for good reason, but legitimate and useful submissions also sometimes fall prey to the almighty filter. Although Yelp's algorithm is a closely guarded trade secret, careful study reveals a few key factors that are most likely to raise an alarm. These include reviews that are: According to available data, Yelp ultimately filters around a quarter of all reviews submitted across its entire platform. Of those filtered reviews, analyses suggest that approximately 78% are flagged correctly. Nevertheless, while the Yelp algorithm applies equally to all businesses in theory, that's not necessarily borne out in the statistics. Depending on factors like industry, specialty and location, the rates at which reviews are filtered can vary substantially. This essential information isn't readily available to the public, but we've collected data on hundreds of businesses and crunched the numbers to help you gain insight into how Yelp filters reviews in the dental industry. Overall, the 823 dentists in our survey saw their reviews filtered at a rate of 30%, which is slightly higher than the [estimated site-wide average of 25%](https://www.yelp-support.com/article/Why-would-a-review-not-be-recommended?l=en_US). Digging deeper into the numbers, we found some notable trends when sorting businesses by city. At just 22%, practices located in the Los Angeles area had the lowest percentage of filtered reviews. On the opposite end of the spectrum, Yelp flagged virtually half of all reviews posted to the profiles of Miami-based businesses. Dallas-area dentists weren't far behind, checking in at an unusually high 42%. We also decided to look at one small market in Upland, CA to see if there were any differences between small towns and big city filter rates. At a 33% rate, nothing stood out. Not surprisingly, the percentage of filtered reviews also varied among specialists. Sampling 355 oral surgeons in three cities, we found that Yelp's filters snagged about 28% of the nearly 29,000 total reviews. Once again, Los Angeles businesses recorded the lowest average rejection rate in our dataset. Only 23% of LA-area submissions were hidden, while the rate climbed to 36% for oral surgeons based in New York. So what exactly is a good Yelp review filter rate for dentists and when you should worry? The first thing to do is calculate your office's exact filter rate to get a sense of how you compare to the average nationally and in your area. This is a fairly simple process as you simple need to visit your office's Yelp listing and divide the number of filtered, or "not recommended" reviews found near the end of your profile with the number of actual published reviews: In the above example, we see a Los Angeles-based cosmetic dental practice with a roughly 16% review filter rate. If we compare this to the Yelp site-wide average (25%) and our findings in Los Angeles (22%) we find that this dental practice is actually doing pretty good with roughly 81% of their customer reviews publishing to their Yelp profile.  Now, on the other hand if we were to analyze a practice with, say, roughly 50-60% of their reviews getting caught in the Yelp filter and thus relegated to the "not recommended" section we can conclude that either **a)** Yelp has flagged the business for unnatural review generation strategies such as: [asking for reviews](/should-my-dental-practice-ask-for-reviews), sending our review requests through email, using unauthorized third-party review gating software etc., or **b)** the office is generating reviews from guests who are not active on Yelp.  Unfortunately, there is no quick fix for getting your authentic comments out of review purgatory or for asking Yelp to re-consider their designation of your business. It's best at this point to focus on generating [reviews on Google](/dentists-guide-to-google-my-business) or start participating in more authorized review generation strategies such as creating a Yelp check-in offer or allowing reviews to come naturally. Over time, your filter rate will reduce more towards the average.  The average review filter rate for dental professionals across the country varies from market to market but averages about 28%. In other words you can expect on average about 3 customer reviews to be hidden on your profile for every 10 reviews that are posted. There's no denying that Yelp is a powerful tool for building social proof and enhancing the visibility of your dental practice, but it requires planning and precision to wield effectively. By understanding how the Yelp review filter works — and how to avoid its wrath — you can ensure prospective patients always see your practice in the best possible light. - [About Us](/en/about-us "About Us") -

These emails are intended to help advertisers target new terms with their ads but can be used to optimize your free profile listings as well through a small, key implementations. Here we share some ideas for how to leverage this new data.* Earlier this year some small business owners with a Yelp business account began to receive periodic emails from Yelp with the subject line: "this week's trending search terms for \[city\]." These notifications, at the moment only apply to some business profiles in certain industries (such as dentistry) and business owner accounts who have the upgraded user interface. Regardless of if you have recently received these emails or not, it safe to assume that Yelp will start to roll out these emails to more and more industries throughout 2023. Although this article deals primarily with the *dental* industry, the logic and strategies discussed can be applied to Yelp profiles nearly across the board. Below you will see a screenshot from a recent notification for a Southern Californian dental practice in which six "trending" terms are identified. Yelp's trending searches will vary with each email so it's not essential to optimize around each and every term they show but rather pick and choose the ones that make sense for your individual practice. In the case of the above screenshot we only see a few that might be usable, a few that are too general to take any actionable insight from, and a few that may or may not apply to the unique attributes of your practice or staff. From the above terms we see that a majority are likely practice-specific and two others are too general. For the sake of this guide we'll assume that two of these trending terms apply to a fictional dental practice and now discuss ways to implement "Chinese Dentist" and "Dentist Open on Saturday" into its profile and Yelp Ads to take advantage of these trends in Yelp searches. Lost near the bottom of Yelp's email is a very clear recommendation to include these trending search terms in photo captions and tags, so we'll take their recommendation and start here with improving our profile. For all the below optimizations, start by logging into your Business Yelp Account (https://biz.yelp.com/) on your desktop or through the Yelp for Business App. **How to find:** Go to **Photos and Videos** in the left-hand sidebar. Click to add a new photo, or edit an existing photo by hovering your mouse over a photo and clicking the pencil icon. In the below example, we've chosen to upload a photo for the fictional Doctor Elizabeth Chen, from China. We've mentioned specifically in the photo caption that Dr. Chen is "originally from China" and "speaks Mandarin." A more optimized caption might be "Chinese Dentist Elizabeth Chen DDS" but we find this to be a less elegant solution, even if more closely matching the trending search term we are targeting. Use your own discretion in how you add or edit captions for photos. **How to find:** Go to **Business Information** in the left-hand sidebar and once selected, scroll to the very bottom and look for "Add intro", or if a business owner profile already exists, look for an edit button next to "Meet the Business Owner." From here you will be able to upload a square owner photo, input their first name, role at the business and some personal bio details. This is a great section to insert both keywords from Yelp's new trending searches data or keywords that you know are important to the business in general. Here we chose to indicate that Dr. Chen is originally from China and we may want to consider listing that she speaks Mandarin. Important to note, there are specific language options in the **Business Highlights** (a paid feature) and additional non-paid sections such as the business **History** or **Specialities**, found in the same section are also great opportunities to try to incorporate trending keywords. It really doesn't matter as all three fields allow for paraphrases of text and can usually fit in natural language surrounding target keywords. In the case of Saturday hours, the solution is even more obvious. Simply select business information from the left-hand sidebar and edit the office hours to include Saturdays. This signal, alone should be enough to trigger your profile for Saturday-related searches. If your practice is only open on select Saturdays, mark your business as open on Saturday and then use the "Upcoming Special Hours" section to notate all the upcoming Saturdays in which your office will be closed. This is obviously going to be the most difficult way to optimize your profile around trending search terms, but due to the way Yelp's (or even Google's) algorithm is setup, business owners should always be thinking of ways to incorporate not only *trending search terms,* but also *core* target keywords into your user reviews. However, since it is against Yelp's guidelines to ask for reviews, and even worse, to ask for reviews with *specific wording*, you're best opportunity is to give your customers written prompts or subtle hints for what to write about. By reminding them to write about which doctor they saw or which procedures were performed during their visit, target keywords will follow rather than basic descriptors like "great, amazing etc." We will cover this in detail in an upcoming article. For now, it's important to know that keywords within reviews will have an impact on how your business shows up in Yelp's organic search results. Until now we have covered free features within Yelp's business owner accounts but for practices looking to either [enhance their profile,](https://www.circulationstudio.com/yelp-enhanced-profile) or get featured in the "Sponsored" section of the search results list, paid Yelp Ads also afford an opportunity to make your profile keyword rich and highly targeted. Some of the enhanced features, such as Business Portfolios and Call to Action links work great for this purpose. We recently [wrote in detail about Yelp Portfolios](https://www.circulationstudio.com/yelp-portfolios-optimization) and how to optimize them for additional search real estate and to showcase your projects and services. Although this paid enhancement is intended for home service businesses to showcase their projects and portfolios, at the end of the day Portfolios are just a collection of photos and text with the option for a call-to-action button and optional budget and timeframe information. For this reason, they can be used for nearly any purpose, including creating a portfolio around trending search terms. **How to find/create:** Go to the Portfolio section of your business owner dashboard in the left-hand sidebar. After clicking this element you have the option to "Add a new project". After selecting this you will be taken to a new screen where you can fill out several fields describing the project. If we're promoting our Mandarin-speaking dentist, Dr. Chen we might fill out the ensuing fields like this: Although this paid enhancement is usually used for promotions, to highlight free consultations or, more recently to discuss COVID-19 services, it can really be used for any purpose. A Call to Action (CTA) is simply a combination of a few words of text, a link and a button leading to desired "action." We recommend experimenting with different CTA's to promote your practice and measuring the results periodically to see which ones are most effective. For this exercise, we're going to create a Call to Action that advertises **Saturday hours.** **How to find/create:** Go to Call to Action in the left-hand sidebar, then select "Create my own Call to Action". Change the description to "We're Open Saturdays!" and the Call to Action pulldown menu to "Schedule now". You will then be prompted to choose whether to send customers to a page on your website (perhaps an appointments page) or "to my phone", in which they will be prompted with your telephone number. You may then chose to schedule an end date for your CTA. Lastly, click "Set Call to Action." If you're running Yelp Ads (cost-per-click ads) to show up in the **Sponsored Results** of the search results list then, boosting trending keywords is a fairly straight-forward process and one worth exploring. This optimization to your ads account will instruct Yelp to boost your ad distribution within trending search phrases such as "Chinese Dentist" or "Dentist Open on Saturday". **How to find/create:** Go to Yelp Ads in the left-hand sidebar of your business account. Once within the Ads dashboard scroll all the way down until you see "Keywords" and select "Manage Keywords". This will open a dialogue box that will allow you to see all the keywords your ads are targeting, select negative keywords to exclude and boost additional keywords. Simply enter the trending search terms you would like to boost and save your changes. While optimization of your Yelp profile for trending search terms might take some work and creativity, the payoff could be well worth your time. A dental professional who speaks Mandarin, for example could – with a few small tweaks – open up their Yelp profile to Yelp users of Chinese heritage looking for a doctor that speaks their language and can more accurately address their concerns in their native language. And as we know, new patients are often acquired through word-of-mouth or family referrals so the lifetime value of one new patient and their referrals acquired through these techniques could quickly more than pay for the 30-60 minutes it takes to implement some of these optimizations!

If your site doesn't comply with ADA accessibility standards, you could be unintentionally turning patients away — and exposing your practice to possible legal action. Ensuring that your dental practice's website provides a great user experience and is accessible to individuals with disabilities is no longer a choice but an obligation in 2023. But what does the law say about the matter? With accessibility lawsuits and legal claims on the rise, we examine some of the implications and potential legal issues arising from dental websites that don't provide the tools and user experience needed for disabled individuals to access their sites properly.* The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that broadly prohibits discrimination against disabled persons. While the law contains a variety of [titles and regulations](https://askjan.org/articles/The-Americans-with-Disabilities-Act-A-Brief-Overview.cfm?cssearch=1946925_1), its essence is quite simple. Whenever possible, businesses have an obligation to provide disabled patrons and employees with assistance and reasonable accommodations to improve accessibility. For dental offices and other physical spaces, this often means implementing features like accessible parking, braille signs, wider doorways, and wheelchair ramps. Unfortunately, the need for equal accessibility often goes overlooked in the digital world. For nearly [one in four U.S. adults](https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2018/p0816-disability.html) with a disability, surfing the web can present many challenges. The ADA doesn't lay out explicit standards for accessible websites. Still, it does require that businesses make good-faith efforts to address [common usability barriers](https://www.ada.gov/resources/web-guidance/#examples-of-website-accessibility-barriers) that visitors may face and provide assistive technology to patients with disabilities. While the ADA itself is short on specifics regarding digital accessibility, the [Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG)](https://userway.org/university/#what-is-wcag-2-1) offers an abundance of detail. Often considered the gold technical standard in web accessibility, it provides a comprehensive framework for making compliant websites more inclusive and disability-friendly. The WCAG standard is not a strict legal requirement for businesses, but it is a convenient benchmark for ensuring ADA compliance. Below we share just a few of the core features of WCAG compliance. These may make more sense to your web developer but will give you an idea of the types of elements and web accessibility improvements that WCAG 2.1 guidelines address: **Videos have captions:** Video and audio captions for those who are deaf or hard of hearing **Audio Descriptions:** Written transcripts for pre-recorded audio files **Contrast:** Contrast ratio between text and background is at least 4.5:1 **Contrast:** Resizable text for clarity and ease of reading **Text images:** Avoid using images heavy with text as those are more difficult to interpret for adaptive screen technologies **Mouseless Navigation:** Your website should be easy to navigate without the use of a mouse **Heading Level Structure:** Proper heading level structure for users with screen readers to easily navigate the site Because the Americans with Disabilities Act was written as a broad, flexible deterrent to discrimination, there have been many questions about when and how the law is enforced. Dental practices, like most other businesses that serve the public, are classified as "public accommodations" and are subject to Title III of the ADA. As such, dentists must provide people with disabilities full and equal access to all goods, services, facilities, and accommodations. Crucially, the Title III mandate also extends to digital spaces. According to the [U.S. Department of Justice](https://www.ada.gov/resources/web-guidance/#when-the-ada-requires-web-content-to-be-accessible), "the ADA’s requirements apply to all the goods, services, privileges, or activities offered by public accommodations, including those offered on the web." Not surprisingly, websites that aren't designed to aid accessibility are more likely to create negative experiences for current and prospective patients. This can cost you business, compromise your online advertising efforts and even tarnish your practice's reputation. Indeed, surveys have shown that [71% of disabled visitors](http://www.clickawaypound.com/cap16finalreport.html) will leave a site that causes usability issues.  Beyond these practicalities, ensuring everyone can use your website is also an important legal consideration. If your site fails to meet basic accessibility standards, you may risk running afoul of ADA regulations. This can result in discrimination complaints and civil lawsuits, potentially leaving your practice on the hook for huge fines and legal fees. In 2021 alone, more than [11,400 lawsuits](https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/hr-topics/behavioral-competencies/global-and-cultural-effectiveness/pages/record-number-of-lawsuits-filed-over-accessibility-for-people-with-disabilities.aspx) were filed against businesses whose websites or mobile applications weren't ADA-compliant. Since there are currently no specific legal standards for digital accessibility, ensuring ADA compliance is far from straightforward. Nonetheless, such a critical issue shouldn't be reduced to a guessing game. One way to assess compliance is to review your website and look for common usability problems manually, but this requires considerable time and no small degree of expertise. In most cases, a more sensible solution is to request an accessibility audit. Professional audit services, such as the [Web Accessibility Compliance Audit Report](Web Accessibility Compliance Audit Report) offered by UserWay, generate full and detailed assessments of your website's accessibility based on the latest international WCAG 2.1 standards. Certified accessibility experts can identify all types of violations and provide simple, actionable recommendations, eliminating uncertainty and helping you guard against lawsuits. If your dental website has accessibility issues, it's essential to address them as swiftly as possible. Some common problems can be fixed with simple modifications, such as adding alt text to images or changing the color of specific design elements. Others, however, require far more extensive changes that may be too costly or impractical to implement. Circulation Dental can [help make your website ADA and WCAG Compliant](/ada-wcag-compliance-for-dentists). There are a variety of solutions on the market but we recommend the [UserWay Accessibility Widget](https://www.uwtracks.com/27C95F6/3QQG7/). This innovative widget features a full array of AI-powered accessibility aids, with hundreds of functions designed to assist those with vision impairments and hearing trouble, impaired motor function, cognitive disabilities, and more. The clean, unobtrusive interface can be customized to serve up specific types of tools based on a user's individual needs. As you can see in the bottom right corner of your screen, we even rely on the UserWay widget to improve the accessibility of our own website! - [About Us](/en/about-us "About Us") - [Services](/en/services "Services") -

Familiarize yourself with upcoming themes, National Dental Days, and significant dates to tailor your Dental Posts effectively. **Flexibility for Creativity:** The calendar is a foundation for ideas. Use it to inspire unique content that reflects your practice's personality. Share relevant dental facts for social media, highlight promotions, or special events uniquely. **Automated Scheduling Tools:** Utilize scheduling tools on platforms like Facebook for Dentist Facebook Posts. Pre-plan and automate your posts, maintaining consistent engagement with your audience. **Consistent Engagement:** Develop a posting rhythm that resonates with your followers. Ensure your content reflects your practice's identity and meets your clients' preferences. **Adapt and Listen**: Regularly review social media insights. Adjust your strategy based on audience feedback, focusing on posts that engage effectively. Utilizing this calendar effectively can enhance your dental practice's online presence and deepen patient connections." Navigating the digital realm, dental practices must find the perfect rhythm for their social media posts. The [optimal frequency](https://blog.hootsuite.com/how-often-to-post-on-social-media/) depends on various elements, including the size of the practice, the richness of the content, and audience engagement. It's essential to focus on providing value, whether through engaging dental facts for social media, highlighting specific and unique dental days, or sharing unique Facebook posts. For smaller practices or solo practitioners, time is a precious commodity. Efficient use of a dental social media calendar can help in strategizing posts, ensuring a steady stream of quality content without overwhelming your team. Larger practices might have more resources to dedicate to frequent, varied postings. Different platforms require different strategies. For instance, [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/) and [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/) might benefit from a more measured approach, focusing on quality posts that resonate with your audience. [Twitter](https://twitter.com/), (now called "X") on the other hand, can be an arena for more frequent, brief updates, keeping your practice at the forefront of dynamic conversations. Aligning your social media strategy with your practice's goals is crucial. Whether it's driving traffic to your website, promoting special offers, or building stronger patient relationships, your posting frequency should mirror these objectives. It’s about striking a balance—maintaining a consistent, engaging online presence without overwhelming your audience. While a strict schedule isn’t necessary, a flexible, well-planned approach tailored to your clinic’s unique dynamics will yield the best results. *\*Please be aware that certain national holidays may vary by region. For instance, National Tooth Fairy Day is observed on August 22nd in the US and* [*February 28th in the UK*](https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/tooth-fairy-day/)*. While we've endeavored to include this information in our list, we highly recommend conducting a quick online search to verify the specific dates in your region before scheduling your posts.* Schedule a time for a free consultation where we can review your existing social media, give you recommendations, and explain our social media packages Add your email and we'll send them over to you once they are finalized We appreciate your visit to our expanding and potentially valuable Dental Social Media Calendar for the year 2025! -

The free solution, which* [*Apple unveiled on January 11th*](https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/01/introducing-apple-business-connect/)*, enables dental offices of all sizes to claim their location "place cards and tailor how important business information is displayed to more than a billion Apple users across Apple Maps, Messages, Wallet, Siri, and other apps.* Dentists can now manage their information directly in the interactive Apple Maps place card. This includes adding and updating photos and logos, inviting patients to take actions like scheduling an appointment or making an appointment directly from Maps, as well as presenting patients with special promotions. Showcases, a new element in the place card, gives dentists the chance to provide incentives and deals to patients, such as financing alternatives, referral bonuses, new patient discounts, whitening specials, and more. Through Business Connect, dentists can quickly edit the Showcase portion of their location card. Beginning early this month, dental offices in the US will have access to showcases; in the ensuing months, dental offices worldwide will also have access. General, non-dental businesses can also give their customers useful information by emphasizing actions for them to complete directly from the Maps place card, such as placing an Instacart order for groceries, booking a hotel room through Booking.com, reserving a table at an OpenTable restaurant, and more, with just a tap. Dentists can sign up for [Business Connect](https://businessconnect.apple.com/) at the self-service website from any desktop or laptop computer using their current Apple ID or by creating a new Apple ID.

Following Fauchard's invention, other dentists began to use the drill and modified it, such as the 19th century invention of the first electric dental drill, which was powered by a small electric motor, making it more precise and efficient.

The act of chewing an apple stimulates saliva production, which helps rinse away food particles and bacteria, thereby reducing the risk of tooth decay. The fiber in apples also acts as a natural toothbrush, scrubbing your teeth, gums, and tongue as you eat. However, it's important to note that while apples contain fluoride, which is crucial for healthy tooth enamel, the amount is not enough to replace daily brushing and flossing​. (source: [https://burlingtondentalcenterks.com/apples-good-for-teeth](https://burlingtondentalcenterks.com/apples-good-for-teeth)) - **Nutritional Value and Oral Health**: Apples are rich in vitamin C, which is essential for gum health. A single apple can provide about 15% of your daily vitamin C needs, which helps keep your gums healthy and may prevent gum inflammation and bleeding. Antioxidants in apples, like vitamin C, E, quercetin, phloridzin, and chlorogenic acid, can reduce inflammation in the body, including the mouth, lowering the risk of gum disease. The fiber in apples also helps keep teeth and gums clean, promoting saliva production. (source: [https://rejuv-health.com/are-apples-good-for-teeth/](https://rejuv-health.com/are-apples-good-for-teeth/)) - **Managing Risks Associated with Apple Consumption**: Despite their benefits, apples also pose some risks to dental health due to their sugar and acid content. The natural sugars in apples can contribute to tooth decay if not properly managed, and their acidity can erode tooth enamel over time. It's advised to eat apples as part of a meal to help neutralize the acids and to rinse the mouth with water after eating apples to wash away apple debris and acids.

They need to constantly gnaw to keep them from getting too long—similar to how humans need regular dental care to keep their teeth healthy. - **Teeth for Digging:** Groundhogs use their strong teeth not just for eating but also for digging extensive burrows. This can be likened to how strong, healthy human teeth are essential for more than just eating—they help us speak clearly and maintain the structure of the face. - **Self-Sharpening Teeth:** A groundhog's incisors are self-sharpening. Every time they close their mouth, the bottom and top incisors grind against each other, keeping them sharp. For humans, regular dental check-ups ensure our teeth are in tip-top shape. - **Highlight Your Participation:** Share a post explaining how your dental office is participating in "Give Kids A Smile Day."

He was also known for his strict oral hygiene regimen, which included brushing his teeth for several minutes several times per day. - The first president to wear a white, plastic upper denture was *John F. Kennedy*. He had Addison's disease, a congenital condition that caused his body to produce insufficient steroids, resulting in muscle weakness and weight loss, which is why he needed dentures. - *George W. Bush* was a fitness enthusiast who also stressed the importance of oral hygiene. On the campaign trail, he was frequently seen with a toothbrush and toothpaste in his hand, and he even brushed his teeth before giving speeches. - **Presidential Promotion:** Offer a special President's Day promotion, encouraging patients to take the lead in their oral health with check-ups or cleanings, just like our presidents did in their time. 1.

Research has linked gum disease to various health issues, including heart disease, stroke, diabetes, and respiratory problems. Maintaining good oral health is essential for overall well-being. - *Myth*: Gum Disease Only Affects Older Adults. - *Fact*: While gum disease is more common in older adults, it can affect people of all ages. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, genetics, and certain medical conditions can increase the risk of gum disease at any age. - *Myth*: Bleeding Gums are Normal. - *Fact*: Some people believe that bleeding gums during brushing or flossing are normal. However, healthy gums should not bleed. Bleeding gums may be an early sign of gum disease and should be evaluated by a dentist. - According to the [American Academy of Periodontology](https://www.perio.org/consumer/gum-disease.htm), up to 80% of adults may be affected by gum disease at some point in their lives. - Gum disease has also been linked to a number of other health issues, including heart disease, stroke, and diabetes, according to research. - The most significant risk factor for gum disease, according to the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, is smoking. - Oral diseases, such as tooth decay and gum disease, are estimated to affect 3.5 billion people worldwide, or nearly half of the world's population, according to the [World Health Organization (WHO](https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/oral-health)). - According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), [nearly half of adults in the United States aged 30 and up have gum disease](https://www.cdc.gov/oralhealth/conditions/periodontal-disease.html). 1. **Tooth Fairy Promotion:** Make Tooth Fairy Day extra special by offering a promotion where children who visit your dental practice with a lost tooth receive a small gift or a chance to win a prize. 2. **The Economics of the Tooth Fairy**: Share captivating data related to just how much money the Tooth Fairy doles out worldwide: - The Tooth Fairy is known for her generosity, and her annual spending on lost teeth in the United States reflects that. According to a survey conducted by Delta Dental, the Tooth Fairy paid an average of about $4.70 per tooth in 2020. This amounted to a total annual expenditure of over $164 million in the United States alone. - The amount left by the Tooth Fairy can vary by region. The same Delta Dental survey found that children in the western United States received the highest average amount per tooth, at around $5.96, while children in the southern United States received the least, at about $4.18 per tooth. This regional variation highlights the diversity of Tooth Fairy traditions and practices. - The economic impact of the Tooth Fairy goes beyond the money left under pillows. According to a study by Visa, the Tooth Fairy's visits serve as an important teaching moment for financial lessons. Parents often use this experience to educate children about saving, spending, and the value of money. In fact, the study found that 89% of parents use real money when the Tooth Fairy makes a visit, and 81% of parents encourage their children to save a portion of the money received. 1. **Ancient Roots**: The earliest traces of the Tooth Fairy tradition can be found in ancient cultures. In Norse mythology, there was a tradition of the "tand-fe" or "tooth fee," where children's lost teeth were paid for with small rewards. Similar customs existed in other cultures, such as Europe and the Middle East, where children's teeth were often buried to protect them from evil spirits. 2. **Modern Evolution**: The Tooth Fairy as we know her today began to take shape in the early 20th century in North America. The character gained popularity in the United States during the mid-20th century, thanks in part to the influence of marketing campaigns and the desire to make losing teeth a more positive experience for children. 3. **Iconic Image**: The modern Tooth Fairy is often depicted as a tiny, winged creature, usually female, who visits children at night to collect their lost baby teeth. She is known for leaving small gifts, coins, or notes in exchange for the tooth under the child's pillow. 4. **Encouraging Dental Health**: One of the key roles of the Tooth Fairy is to promote good oral hygiene among children. Parents and dentists often use the Tooth Fairy as a way to encourage regular brushing and flossing. Children are taught that the Tooth Fairy prefers clean and healthy teeth. 5. **Cultural Variations:** While the Tooth Fairy is a well-loved figure in many Western countries, different cultures have their own tooth-related traditions. For example, in some countries, children throw their lost teeth onto the roof, while in others, they may place them in a specific location. 1. **Patient Success Stories**: Share compelling before-and-after images of patients who have undergone successful gum treatment in your practice. Accompany these visuals with narratives that detail their journey from diagnosis to recovery, emphasizing the transformative impact of professional dental care. 2. **Oral Care Routine Videos**: Create short, instructional videos demonstrating the correct techniques for brushing and flossing to prevent gum recession. Highlight the importance of using soft-bristled toothbrushes and gentle motions to protect delicate gum tissue. 3. **Weekly Gum Health Tips**: Throughout February, post weekly tips focusing on different aspects of gum health, such as the role of a balanced diet, the importance of quitting smoking, and the benefits of regular dental cleanings in preventing gum recession. Here are three to get you started: 4. ***Proper Brushing Techniques Tip***: "Embrace the Gentle Touch for Healthy Gums ?" 5. ***Content***: This week, focus on the art of brushing gently. Many people believe that scrubbing their teeth harder will lead to a cleaner mouth, but this can cause more harm than good, especially to your delicate gum tissue. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and hold it at a 45-degree angle to your gums. Use gentle, circular motions to clean your teeth and gums effectively without causing recession. Remember, it's not about force but about technique when it comes to brushing! 6. ***The "Importance of Flossing" Tip***: "Flossing: Your Gum's Best Friend ?" 7. ***Content***: Dive into the world of flossing this week. While many people skip this crucial step, flossing daily is essential for removing plaque and food particles that a toothbrush can't reach. This helps to prevent gum disease, a leading cause of gum recession. Share a step-by-step guide or a short video demonstrating the right way to floss, emphasizing its role in keeping the areas between teeth and along the gumline healthy. 8. ***Tips for Diet and Gum Heath***: "Feed Your Gums Right ?" 9. ***Content***: Highlight the connection between diet and gum health. Nutritious foods not only benefit overall health but also play a significant role in maintaining healthy gums. Encourage your followers to consume foods rich in vitamin C (like oranges, strawberries, and bell peppers) and calcium (such as milk, cheese, and leafy greens), which are crucial for gum health. Discuss how a balanced diet can strengthen gum tissue, reduce inflammation, and help prevent gum recession. 10. **Educational Infographics and Statistics**: Design and share [infographics](https://www.cadentistry.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/What-Causes-Gum-Recession-Infographic-011.jpg) that delve into the causes of gum recession (e.g., aggressive brushing, periodontal disease, genetics) and outline modern treatment options available (from scaling and root planing to advanced gum grafting techniques). Use engaging visuals and easy-to-understand language to maximize impact. 11. According to the [American Academy of Periodontology](https://www.perio.org/), approximately half of all adults over the age of 30 have some form of gum recession. When the gum tissue around the teeth begins to pull away, the roots of the teeth become exposed, making them more susceptible to decay and infection. 12. Furthermore, the [National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research](https://www.nidcr.nih.gov/health-info/tooth-decay) discovered that people with receding gums are three times more likely to lose teeth than those who do not have the condition. Receding gums can also cause sensitivity and pain, making eating and speaking difficult. - **The Significance of the National Dental Association (NDA):** Provide an in-depth look at the [NDA's role in supporting African American dentists](https://ndaonline.org/) and promoting minority oral health. Highlight key moments in its history and its impact on the dental profession. - **Weekly Spotlight on Pioneers:** Dedicate each week of February to a different pioneer in Black dental history. Share their stories, achievements, and how they've influenced modern dentistry. This could include posts, short videos, or infographics. Here is a schedule you can follow: - **Week 1:** [**Dr. Robert Tanner Freeman**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Tanner_Freeman) **(1846–1873)** is celebrated as the first African American to graduate from a dental college in the United States. In 1869, he was part of the inaugural class at Harvard University's School of Dental Medicine. Freeman's groundbreaking achievement came in an era of significant racial barriers, and his perseverance paved the way for future generations of Black dentists. His career, though tragically short due to his untimely death at 26, remains a beacon of possibility and progress in the dental profession. - **Week 2:** [**Dr. Ida Gray Nelson Rollins**](https://www.ohsu.edu/womens-health/women-who-inspire-us-ida-gray-nelson-rollins) **(1867–1953)** holds the distinction of being the first African American woman to earn a dental degree in the United States. Graduating from the University of Michigan School of Dentistry in 1890, she broke gender and racial barriers. Dr. Rollins practiced dentistry in Chicago and later in Los Angeles, providing care to diverse communities and serving as an inspiring role model for women and minorities in dentistry. - **Week 3:** [**Dr. George Franklin Grant**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Franklin_Grant) **(1846–1910)** was not only one of the first African Americans to graduate from Harvard Dental School but also an esteemed faculty member there, becoming the first Black professor at the university. Beyond his dental practice and teaching, Dr. Grant was an inventor, known for patenting the wooden golf tee in 1899. His contributions to dental education and his innovations in periodontal treatment have left a lasting impact on the field. - **Week 4:** **Dr. Charles Edwin Bentley (1864-1945)** is celebrated as the father of the oral hygiene movement, renowned for his pioneering efforts in promoting oral health education. Dr. Bentley's dedication extended beyond his dental practice, as he envisioned universal access to crucial oral hygiene information, irrespective of individuals' backgrounds. In 1910, this visionary dentist collaborated with the Illinois State Dental Society to publish "The Care of the Mouth," a groundbreaking brochure designed for school-aged children. His approach aimed to reach young minds through the public school system, ensuring that all children, regardless of race, religion, or socioeconomic status, could access practical guidance on maintaining healthy teeth and gums. Dr. Bentley's legacy persists in modern dental hygiene practices, inspiring dental professionals to prioritize oral health education and pass on the importance of good oral hygiene to future generations, just as he envisioned over a century ago. - **Current Contributions:** Celebrate contemporary Black dentists making significant impacts in various dental specialties. Feature interviews, achievements, or day-in-the-life posts that showcase their contributions to the field and communities. Some key names to highlight are: Dr. Jeanne C. Sinkford, Dr. John S. Mayberry, and Dr. Hazel J. Harper. - **Diversity and Inclusion Initiatives:** Discuss ongoing efforts and programs aimed at increasing diversity within the dental profession. Highlight how these initiatives benefit the profession as a whole and contribute to better patient care. - **Interactive Q&A Sessions with Black Dentists:** Host live or recorded Q&A sessions where Black dentists share their experiences, offer advice to aspiring dentists, and discuss the importance of representation in dentistry. - **Educational Series on Health Disparities:** Address oral health disparities in African American communities, discussing causes, implications, and what the dental profession can do to address these issues.

They gained popularity when they were promoted as treats to send to Union soldiers during the war. This candy's enduring appeal is a testament to its simple, yet satisfying, sweet taste and unique, chewy texture. **Presidential Favorite:** Jelly beans skyrocketed in popularity in the 1980s thanks to President Ronald Reagan, who was a known aficionado. [Reagan famously kept a jar of jelly beans](https://www.reaganlibrary.gov/reagans/ronald-reagan/jelly-bellyr-jelly-beans-and-ronald-reagan) on his desk in the Oval Office and even used them during his gubernatorial and presidential campaigns, making them a symbol of his administration. **Most Popular Flavor:** In the United States, the most popular jelly bean flavor has seen some competition over the years, but as of recent tallies, the buttered popcorn flavor surprisingly takes the top spot.

Whether it's your flossing habits or your last candy binge, sharing the truth helps us help you better. Let's celebrate honesty for healthier smiles! #NationalHonestyDay #TrueSmile **Myth**: Sugar-free gum is just as bad for your teeth as regular gum. **Fact**: Chewing sugar-free gum, especially those containing xylitol, can actually be beneficial for your teeth. It stimulates saliva production, which helps to neutralize acids in the mouth and rinse away food particles, reducing the risk of cavities. **Myth**: If your gums bleed when you floss, you should stop flossing. **Fact**: Bleeding gums can be a sign of inflammation, often due to plaque buildup along the gumline. Rather than stopping flossing, it's crucial to continue with gentle, consistent flossing and consult your dentist, as this can help improve gum health and prevent more serious gum diseases. **Fact**: Professional and over-the-counter teeth whitening treatments are generally safe when used according to directions. They work by removing surface stains and do not typically damage the tooth enamel or structure. However, overuse or incorrect use of whitening products can lead to sensitivity or irritation, so it's important to follow the recommended guidelines or consult with a dental professional.

The use of mouthguards in contact sports can prevent more than 200,000 oral injuries to the mouth each year. **Facial Protection in Youth Sports:** The National Youth Sports Safety Foundation reports that athletes who participate in basketball, a non-contact sport, have one of the highest rates of dental injury, second only to football.

April's [National Parkinson's Awareness Month](https://www.parkinson.org/parkinsons-awareness-month) is dedicated to increasing awareness and understanding of Parkinson's disease, a neurological disorder that affects movement.

Together, we can create a community of care and understanding. #ParkinsonsAwareness #InclusiveDentalCare **Increased Risk of Dental Decay and Gum Disease:** Individuals with Parkinson's disease may experience a reduction in saliva production, a condition known as xerostomia, which can lead to an increased risk of dental decay and gum disease. Saliva plays a crucial role in neutralizing acids produced by bacteria in the mouth and washing away food particles. Without adequate saliva, these individuals are more susceptible to oral health issues (Source: *Journal of the American Dental Association*). **Medication Side Effects:** Many medications used to manage Parkinson's symptoms can also contribute to oral health issues. For example, some medications may cause dry mouth or excessive salivation, both of which can impact oral health. Dry mouth increases the risk of dental decay, while excessive salivation can lead to difficulties in speaking and swallowing, as well as increased microbial growth in the oral cavity (Source: *Movement Disorders Journal*). **Difficulty in Maintaining Oral Hygiene:** Parkinson's disease is characterized by tremors, rigidity, and bradykinesia (slowness of movement), which can make routine dental care tasks such as brushing and flossing challenging. These motor symptoms can hinder an individual's ability to maintain effective oral hygiene, contributing to an increased risk of oral health problems (Source: *Parkinson's Disease Foundation*). National Volunteer Week, observed from April 20th to 26th, celebrates the spirit of volunteerism and the incredible impact volunteers have on our communities.
