Show notes

Remember the personal bio you wrote for your practice website? You probably started with a paragraph about where you grew up, the schools you attended, and your involvement with dental associations. Then you added a couple lines about your family and personal hobbies, and emailed it over to your web designer. Now it sits on your website like a relic etched in stone. And in today's content-charged world, it will never be enough to drive traffic to your business. That's where video comes in — not just video, but great video. In this Dentist Money™ interview, Collin Kartchner of Tooth Media explains why dentists need to engage patients with better video content.
