DentaltownUK’s 6-Month Checkup! by Mike Gow

Dentaltown is a huge name in global dental media. To be a part of developing it in the UK as the editor of DentaltownUK has been hard work, but it continues to be a hugely rewarding and enjoyable experience. The editorial board and contributors have been first-class. Thank you all!

Our aims and objectives as a magazine are fairly simple:

1. Provide a high standard and good variety of content that dentists and team members will want to read.
2. Make it as easy as possible to access the magazine, free of charge.
3. Encourage as many dentists and dental team members from a variety of demographics to access and engage with the m ine.
4. Encourage more UK dentists and team members to take full advantage of the free Dentaltown forum and its message boards, classified ads, etc.
5. Sell enough advertising space to fund the magazine overheads while providing great product and service exposure to our readers without creating an overload of adverts.

We launched only six months ago, and the feedback we receive by email and on social media after each issue has been positive and encouraging.

Here’s a message from Dr. Howard Farran, the founder and CEO of Dentaltown, regarding our six-month milestone:

Mike, I am thrilled with your successful launch of DentaltownUK! We are so excited to bring this magazine and our online community to the dentists in the UK. Congratulations on your first six months of publishing, and I look forward to connecting with our fellow dentists on the message boards. That camaraderie and connection with peers is what truly lifts our profession to new levels, and creates opportunities for us to be better dentists.

See you online!

That said, it’s time for DentaltownUK’s six-month checkup. We’ve constructed a short survey that will help us understand what you want from DentaltownUK and whether we’re achieving our aims and objectives. So, thank you in advance for helping us with our checkup! It will only take you a few minutes to complete the simple, completely anonymous survey.

We’ll publish a summary of the results in a future issue, with a breakdown of our ‘treatment plan’ for the future.
