Dr. Darold Opp, founder of Advanced Family Dentistry and SmilePalooza! suggests making a Therapy Dog part of the dental practice staff.

ABERDEEN, SD – October 31, 2014 – Dr. Darold Opp, DDS, founder of Advanced Family Dentistry and SmilePalooza!, recently posted a article on his website entitled “Give Yourself a Pet Project And Watch Your Dental Practice Grow.” Inspired by an online article at  a Seattle dentist, Dr. Opp is quick to share nontraditional marketing ideas. He is particularly fond of those that tug at the heartstrings while garnerering word-of-mouth referrals and free local PR.

Dr. Opp says, “Getting and training a Therapy Dog can create real magic in your dental practice. It is also a very exciting nontraditional marketing method that will have everyone in town talking about your practice and can generate lots of free PR.”

It’s a well-known fact that children and puppy dogs tug at the heartstrings. Opp is quick to point out that “Therapy Dogs are growing in popularity, especially for the calming effect they have in the dental office. And moms appreciate anything that will help their little ones be more relaxed and happy about going to the dentist.”
