Pinterest helps Ft. Lauderdale cosmetic dentist reach and educate patients. Fort Lauderdale — With social media is all the rage, one of the newest and fastest growing social media sites is Pinterest.

Now the Ft. Lauderdale cosmetic dentists at Smile South Florida Cosmetic Dentistry have started a Pinterest page which describes their practice, gives information about cosmetic dentistry, and introduces site visitors to attractions and restaurants in South Florida. Pinterest was founded in 2009 by Ben Silberman; by December 2011, the site became one of the top 10 largest social network services with 11 million total visits per week.  Also in 2011, Time Magazine named Pinterest in its “50 Best Websites of 2011″ article. By January 2012, the site had 11.7 million unique users, making it the fastest site in history to break through the 10 million unique visitor mark.

In March 2012, Pinterest became the third largest social network in the United States, behind Facebook and Twitter. The media sharing website permits users to create thematic collections of images, videos, and documents  about events, interests, hobbies, businesses, and more. Users browse through other users’ pinboards for inspiration, re-pin images to their own pinboards, or “like” photos on other boards. They can save and categorize images as well as follow other users’ boards if they have similar interests. Recently Smile South Florida created a Pinterest page which includes bulletin boards featuring photos and videos on many different topics.  Below are some of the topics the Miami cosmetic dentists’ Pinterest page covers:

• About Smile South Florida
• Patient before-and-after pictures with descriptions of the dental procedures
• Inspirational sayings
• Boards dedicated to South Florida style, destinations, malls, spas, shops, and restaurants
• Beautiful celebrity smiles
• Articles about reconstructive and cosmetic dentistry
• FAQs about cosmetic dentistry – including links to RealSelf.com

Soon Smile South Florida will even have Pinterest integrated right into their website so visitors can share their favorite smile makeovers, pin their desired treatment procedures, and refer friends and family more easily than before.  The pinterest board is particularly helpful to cosmetic patients who are traveling in from out of the state or country and are looking to see what fun activities, restaurants, and hot spots are in the area. “Pinterest helps us paint a great picture (literally) of what Miami/South Florida is all about.

It also gives people a great idea of what and who we are as a dental office, by showing inspirational quotes. Actually, we call them Pinspirations!,” said Dr. Charles Nottingham, a South Florida cosmetic dentist with Smile South Florida.  “Pinterest makes it easy to connect with other top cosmetic dentists and dental professionals all over the U.S. and the world so we can stay on the pulse of the industry.”

Tamarac, FL, February 16, 2007 — Dr. Charles Nottingham, cosmetic dentist for Smile South Florida, visited Tamarac Elementary (which is in Broward County near Coral Springs) to educate and entertain a class of kindergarden and first graders. Accompanying Dr. Nottingham was his furry assistant Spunky the Donkey.

Dr. Nottingham began talking about what a dentist does and what equipment a dentist uses. The doctor explained that he has to wear gloves, a mask, and a coat in order to protect the patient and himself from germs. The children loved Dr. Nottingham’s magnifying glasses and thought the glasses looked funny. Dr. Nottingham exclaimed that the glasses were necessary to see very close up.

Then, Dr. Nottingham showed a video and strongly insisted that it was important that everyone brush their teeth. The doctor showed pictures of patients with plaque and the large cavities that resulted from not brushing one’s teeth. Dr. Nottingham asserted that children and adults should not eat sweets because bacteria feed off the sugar.
