Why TikTok is No Longer Optional for Dental Practices

The 2025 TikTok Reality Check:

• 1.8 billion active users worldwide, with 40% growth in 35+ demographic
• Average user spends 95 minutes daily - more than any other platform
• 68% of users have made purchases inspired by TikTok content
• Dental content sees 3x higher engagement than other professional services

The Traditional Advertising Problem:

• $3,000 monthly ad spend with zero engagement tracking
• Billboard and radio ads that patients actively ignore
• Direct mail with 1% response rates at best
• No authentic connection with younger patient demographics

Educational Content That Actually Engages:
