Re: Dental Marketing for dentists

[Anonymous]

WHAT WE ARE AS DENTISTS ARE NOT ALLOWED IN ADVERTISING:

Advertise that the use of lasers is painless, heals faster, or provides better results than other dental procedures.
Solicit patients for dental services in person or via telephone. You may however communicate with current and former patients to schedule appointments or offer follow-up care without violating the Board of Dentistry rules.
Advertise yourself as a specialist in an area of dentistry not recognized by the Board of Dentistry as a specialty. The board recognizes as a specialty only those specialties recognized by the Indian Dental Association. Cosmetic dentistry, facial pain therapy, and implantology are not IDA-recognized specialties. The only specialty areas recognized by the IDA are:

Oral and maxillofacial pathology.
Oral and maxillofacial radiology.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery.
Orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics
Pediatric dentistry.
Periodontics.
Prosthodontics
Dental public health.
Endodontics
Do not Advertise an unearned academic degree (e.g., honorary degrees or those awarded by educational institutions not accredited by a generally recognized accrediting body).
Do not Advertise a non-health academic degree if the public is likely to assume that is related to your qualifications as a practitioner.
