Why should an orthodontist blog?
Well there are thousands of reasons why an orthodontist should blog, but there is only two that count. You can increase your internet visability and better communicate with your patients. Whether you're an internet freak or a web weanie, writing online about your practice is simple and should be something you do at least 2 times a month.
Let your patients know about whats going on in your practice, finished before and after cases, what you're involved with in the community etc, and then write at least one article about orthodontics. These articles should not be canned. They should be fresh pieces that come from someone in your office or someone you hire to do it for you. Do not use the same canned materials as the 1000 other doctors have online from some of the big web companies. Use the info thats near and dear to your heart.
If you're an orthodontist, in a lot of ways you are a teacher. Let that teaching passion out of the box with a 3-4 paragraph article once a month. Its a great way to get your name out there and an even better way to let patients see you as the expert you are. So go out and become a blogger! You might even like it.
