Making these work in dentistry
- Nervous patients are half your audience. Narrate procedures calmly, skip the horror-movie sound effects, and show the tools before you use them. You lower fear and build trust at once.
- Get written consent and protect privacy before filming any patient or procedure. No faces, no charts, no identifying details, even for a purely satisfying clip.
- Bust one specific myth per video with a visual. 'Here's charcoal toothpaste under magnification' beats telling people to trust you, because they can see the damage themselves.
- Answer the exact question patients ask in the chair. 'Do I really need this crown' has been Googled by everyone who ever heard those five words.
