title: Marketing your dental practice using microsoft powerpoint.
abstract: Educating the parents of my patients about the techniques and specialized care pediatric dentists provide has always been a challenge. When I began my dental practice in 1974, the materials and audiovisual programs that were available for parental and patient education were of poor quality and often did not reflect my office philosophy. The multimedia material for pediatric dentistry was limited in scope and of little value in conveying to the parents and patients pediatric restorative procedures, causes of dental disease, caries prevention and patient management. Effective communication to the public can be divided into two areas: in-office marketing; and outside advertising. The primary focus of this discussion will be on in-house marketing of your dental practice using Microsoft PowerPoint.
