Helping people acquire the best and happy smile undoubtedly has a big impact to your patients. Of course, a successful procedure means a boost of someone’s self-esteem! But have you ever thought of doing something else to make more happy smiles; something like offering community health care dental services? If you’re interested to this idea, read more!

Providing community health care dental services can make a huge difference. As we all know, service to humanity is the best work of life. But there’s more – by giving community services, you also get to promote your profession and increases the possibility of getting new patients!

Let Your Dental Team Offer Free Dental Services

Your local community surely has organizations that would need more volunteer to provide medical and dental services. You might want to tap to these organizations especially during peak seasons such as Christmas.

Once you get in contact with an organization, inquire about their needs and what their mission and vision is. If they accept dental services to offer to the community, then that’s good news for you.

Volunteering in the community has a lot of perks. One, you get the opportunity to bond not just with your team but with the neighbors as well. And two, you get to interact with potential patients, hence, a good contributing factor to your practice.

Dental Education in Schools

Providing dental services in schools is definitely worth it. Aside from the fact that it’s a fun activity, it’s also a great idea to establish rapport not only to the kids but to the parents as well.

As we all know, kids are quite anxious in visiting a dental clinic. That anxiety can somehow be allayed if a dentist checks their teeth in a familiar place, such as the school clinic.

Providing basic dental education in schools is highly recommended in this volunteer act. Teach children about basic dental anatomy in a level they can easily understand. Give them the best tips on how to properly brush their teeth and offer rewards to those who listen and participate in Q & A portions.

Free Dental Services

In a local community, there will always be a group of families who can’t afford to pay for dental services. Try to reach out to them and offer basic dental services for free.

Assess the community, make your plan of action such as creating an event called “Free Dentistry Day”, and implement your plan. Once your plan has been executed, evaluate the results to know which part worked and what needs to be improved. If the result is satisfactory, you can do that again next year, but this time, it would be better.

Service to Humanity

You might want to consider donating a portion of your sales to a local charity. Especially if you’ve already made a good reputation in your community, a charitable act will help you in building goodwill. If you’re a pediatric dentist, find organizations that focus in helping children. You can tap to a single organization or you can change organizations every quarter. It’s up to you. Remember, it’s always the thought that counts.
