Dentists don't always have the easiest job. Yes, there are those people who enjoy visiting their dentist for a regular cleaning, but many children and adults alike, somewhat dread a trip to the dental office. For many of us, dentistry is associated with painful procedures − and the discomfort and embarrassment that come with the discovery of a dreaded cavity. Dentists, being smart health practitioners and business people, always seek new ways to make visits more enjoyable.

Proven Promos for Dentist Offices

Dentists have long been early adopters of promotional products used to create goodwill, show their appreciation for current patients and attract new ones. Not only are dentistry-related promo products useful, they're also frequently fun and attractive. Promotional products are also a great way to provide a token of reward that symbolizes the ultimate reward of excellent oral health.

Here are six smart ones that work:

• Dental kits. A kit doesn't have to be elaborate to be useful. A collection of dental floss, mouthwash, a travel-sized tube of toothpaste, and a collapsible toothbrush comprise an excellent kit that assists patients in caring for their dental health when traveling.
  
• Keychain dental floss. A cute keychain in the shape of a tooth that opens to reveal high quality dental floss is a great promotional product - making floss more accessible, creating more healthy flossing opportunities.
  
• Travel toothbrushes. Everyone needs a good traveling toothbrush - one that folds and stores conveniently, but also has good bristles.
  
• Travel toothpicks. Helping people remove unwanted pieces of food stuck between teeth is not only helpful for their gums, it's downright pleasurable. FDA registered promotional toothpick dispensers come full of toothpicks and can be refilled again and again - keeping the beloved dental office top of mind.
  
• Coloring books. Children who visit the dentist love products like stickers and activity books - they provide a pleasant distraction. Friendly tooth-themed coloring books teach good dental hygiene reminding kids about the importance of getting their teeth cleaned.
  
• Toothpaste squeezers. Everyone wants to get all they've paid for in their tube of toothpaste. Rolling toothpaste tube squeezers are generally kept the bathroom, laying in wait for their time to step up and be a hero - helping us get that last bit of toothpaste.

Whether your dental practice simply hands each patient a branded toothbrush and a tube of flavorful toothpaste or offers a creative promotional item that makes people smile - it's simply a smart proven tactic for rewarding good patients. Everyone wins. Patients get great dental care and gift for showing up; and the dentist demonstrates appreciation and a willingness to help patients maintain oral health between visits!
