Dental practices continue to rely heavily on referrals, and each practice needs a strong referral network in place as part of their new-patient pipeline. It may seem odd that a digital marketing company is advocating for an analog approach like a referral network, but it makes sense if you consider referrals as one piece of a practice’s overall marketing strategy.

Saliva- Liquid Gold You brush, floss, and do all the homecare instructions you are told, yet, you still have cavities and gum disease. Let’s talk about the real key to oral health – your saliva. As I tell my patients, saliva is liquid gold. There is nothing more important to the health of the mouth than saliva.

Virginia is one of the few states to offer dental benefits to adults covered by Medicaid; however, a shortage of dentists means that many Medicaid enrollees go without professional dental services. One of the most significant issues is recruiting dentists to work in clinics that provide care to the underserved. Many dentists graduate with large amounts of student debt, which makes private practice more attractive.

In the past, dental practices were limited to using on-premises practice management software. This software was installed on the practice’s own computers and servers, and it required regular maintenance and updates. As a result, many practices found it difficult and time-consuming to keep their software up to date. In recent years, the adoption of cloud-based practice management software has been on the rise, and for good reason.
