The Dentist of Distinction Program from National Children's
Oral Health Foundation: America's ToothFairy (NCOHF), a
non-profit organization supporting oral health education and
care for vulnerable children, allows you do good and do well by
providing tools for you to highlight your commitment to oral
health in your community. Chaired by Dr. Gordon Christensen
and sponsored by Wells Fargo Practice Finance, this program
recognizes caring dental professionals for their support of
America's ToothFairy programs helping children in need.
It feels good to help others. There is no denying it, giving
back can feel great! This good feeling can extend farther than
you realize and ultimately benefit your practice.
Differentiate your practice. Patients select their dental
provider based on what they know about them. Marketing
materials provided to Dentists of Distinction can enhance your
reputation and generate positive publicity for your practice.
Press releases, social media content, material for your website
and patient newsletters are designed to help position you as a
caring dental professional and resource for oral health services in
your community. Current and new patients can feel good about
choosing you as their dentist.
Raise awareness of your services. Dentists of Distinction
also receive an America's ToothFairy Community Education Kit.
Using these engaging oral health lessons, you or a member of
your staff can raise awareness of your services while providing
valuable information to members of your community in
schools, local events, health fairs or children's programs.
Build your brand. Build your brand identity and connect
with potential patients by distributing cards with your practice
logo and information offering free membership for the
America's ToothFairy Kids Club at community events. Share this
free service with current patients and their families to build loyalty
to your practice.
Give your team a sense of pride. Your team will be proud
to be associated with a Dentist of Distinction and practice that
has a reputation for giving back. Dr. Chris Woolaver, a Dentist
of Distinction who provides volunteer services through the
Tomorrow's Smiles program noted: "Being able to help teens
in need by providing donated services through America's
ToothFairy has been rewarding for both me and my staff. I am
glad to be able to have a positive impact on the lives of these
remarkable kids."
Making an impact on others matters to your employees. As
employees of a practice that demonstrates social responsibility,
they will be more committed to your success because they are
working for an organization that is making a difference, above
and beyond "just a paycheck." In addition to aiding in the retention
of quality, caring staff, strategic giving and aligning with
this cause can also help attract conscientious employees who
seek to work for practices that are also good corporate citizens.
Engage your community. As a Dentist of Distinction, you
can rally your team, patients and others around a shared passion
that everyone can relate to, helping children, while elevating the
importance of oral health and the services you provide.
