Dr. Darold Opp, founder of Advanced Family Dentistry and SmilePalooza! says that Patti Smith’s 2010 Commencement Address at New York City’s Pratt Institute reinforces the need for contemporary dental practices to have a social media marketing plan in place.

ABERDEEN, SD – September 30, 2014 – Dr. Darold Opp, DDS, founder of Advanced Family Dentistry and SmilePalooza!, recently posted a new article on his website entitled “Dentistry, Social Media Marketing and Patti Smith’s 2010 Commencement Address.” Rock legend and icon, Patti Smith may not be an automatic “go to” for inspiration in the minds of dentists. However, her Pratt Institute Commencement Address may be bringing two incongruous worlds closer together.

Dr. Opp recognizes the relevance of Smith’s continued artistic influence on the younger generations and seizes the opportunity to highlight her Commencement Address in making the case for social media marketing in today’s dental practices.

Dr. Opp says, “Patti Smith, a recording artist, poet philosopher and major creative influencer felt compelled to tell the Pratt Institute graduating class to, “Take care of your teeth.” This in front of the graduating class of one of the most creative institutes in the U.S., not a dental program.”

As a bit of a rock star in the dental profession, Dr. Opp makes every effort to influence dentists seeking ways to grow their practices. He says, “Whatever it takes to inspire you to get your practice involved with social media marketing, whether it’s introducing you to Patti Smith or a slew of profound statistics, my greatest desire is that you dive in as soon as possible. “
