Industry experts Bobbie Wood, Natalie Dunbar, and Kelly Erickson share insights on the impact of well-crafted content, the power of user testing, and the evolving role of AI in UX writing. Whether you're in marketing, CX, or UX, you'll gain valuable takeaways on how content strategy can elevate your brand and improve the way customers interact with your products and services. Key Topics & Takeaways: 1. The Power of Content in Customer Experience Successful companies prioritize clear, user-friendly content to drive engagement and loyalty. Content strategy isn't just about writing—it's about delivering the right message at the right time in the right format. Microcopy, such as button text and CTAs, can make or break user engagement. 2. The Importance of Content Testing & User Research A/B testing and usability studies are essential to understand how users interact with content. Testing must go beyond isolated elements—content should be evaluated across the entire user journey to ensure consistency. Observing user reactions, especially when they stop interacting, can reveal pain points that need to be addressed. 3. Balancing Brand Consistency with Personalization A strong brand voice ensures content remains consistent across channels while still adapting to different user needs. Marketers and UX teams should define voice and tone guidelines that allow flexibility for various contexts. The right balance between structured brand messaging and personalized user interactions enhances engagement. 4. AI's Growing Role in Content Creation AI tools can assist with content creation, but they lack the human empathy, nuance, and contextual understanding needed for great UX writing. The future of AI in UX writing is still evolving, and ethical concerns around AI-generated content must be considered. While AI can optimize workflows, human oversight remains crucial in crafting meaningful and relatable content. 5. Why Content Strategy Should Start Early in Projects Content strategists should be involved from the very beginning of product and experience design. Early collaboration ensures content aligns with user expectations, business goals, and overall design strategy. Mapping out content needs before development reduces the risk of last-minute changes and improves efficiency. Featured Guests:

As dental healthcare providers, our primary goal is to diagnose and treat oral health conditions. But a dental practice is also a business. And like every successful business, it needs a clear and strong value proposition. It should define how you deliver your "brand promise" and how your offering will deliver value to your patients and staff. Your value proposition differentiates you, positions your offering as “unique,” and makes it clear why patients should choose you as their dentist. To tell us more about how we can define our value and communicate it to our patients and our team, is our guest Dr. Lori Trost. Dr. Trost is a recognized dental educator, author, and clinical consultant who maintains a comprehensive restorative practice in the Greater St. Louis, Missouri area.

Dental podcast: Welcome to DentalTalk. I'm Dr. Phil Klein. Whether removing decay, reducing tooth structure, accessing the pulp or adjusting a pristine ceramic surface - it's important to know your burs and how they can improve clinical outcome. Today we'll be discussing how to put the right spin on your preps and restorations. Our guest is Dr. Lori Trost. She is a recognized dental educator, author, and clinical consultant who maintains a comprehensive restorative practice in the Greater St. Louis, Missouri area.

Microcopy refers to the small bits of text that appear throughout a website or application, such as button labels, form field instructions, and error messages. While these small snippets of text may seem insignificant, they can have a big impact on the user experience. In this article, we'll explore what microcopy is and what benefits it can provide for businesses and their customers.

Effective copywriting goes FAR beyond resonating statements and doing deep, deep, deep on pain points. As they say, the difference hides in the details. And in copywriting, the details are in your microcopy. --- Download "THE CIRCA METHOD" and learn my signature method for creating high-powered sales copy: Get it FREE: https://lizslyman.com/circa-method/ CONNECT WITH ME: YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpPMFbrK2gUdSmRXqD4Uafw INSTAGRAM @LETSTALKCOPY TIKTOK: @COPYWRITINGCOURSES COPYWRITING COURSES & RESOURCES: LIZSLYMAN.COM --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/letstalkcopy/message

Alan is joined (at the Greater New York Meeting) by Dr. Paul Ferraioli to talk about dental meetings and interesting practice models! Paul and Alan go WAY back to the DentalTown message boards and it was great to catch up with him! Paul and Alan were both DentalTown "golden fingers" back in the day. Microbrush never promoted the coolest product that they never produced. The "MicroClik" Paul has a "unicorn" practice in New Jersey...he describes it as "relationship based." Paul's model has changed over the years to where he does much of the hygiene in his practice.  Find what's right for you and do that! How has COVID affected the way he practices? How has COVID affected the profession of dental hygiene? Dentist driven hygiene and adding value What does Paul mean by "relationship based practice?" Dental meetings in the time of COVID Paul laments the discontinuation of Carivu The jokes that dentists tell every single day Having a low drama team Being one insurance away from none Some links from the show: Ultraetch and Peak Universal bond (Ultradent) Microclik handle Carivu Voices of Dentistry The Very Dental Facebook Group If you would you like support the Very Dental Podcast Network you should support our sponsors!

I can think of a lot of reasons, but the one your patients are thinking about is this one. What's that sound? That's the sound of a rotary instrument that's never been used on another patient. That's the sound of no cross contamination. That's the sound of your patient knowing that you are looking out for them. Sure you get a super sharp, never been used bur each and every time you open a Microcopy bur, but mostly your patients know that you take cross contamination seriously. Go check out the wide variety of single patient use products at verydentalpodcast.com/microcopy. A new (and sterile) bur…every time. Microcopy Dental. Ideal preps. That's what we aim for. One excellent way to get there is to use a core material to build the tooth back up to ideal contour. Cosmecore from Cosmedent is my choice for building up a broken down tooth. It's dual cure, comes in a variety of colors and cuts just like a tooth. You'll get a super smooth finish with no gouging. Right now I've got the 50 gram dispenser that fits in a small impression gun, but when I need to refill I think I'll go with the 8 gram syringe. Both work great, but those syringes are handy and don't take much room on a set up. Check it out at verydentalpodcast.com/cosmecore! It's funny, but you never really know how your branding effects people until you see it in your own life. So Jacob, my youngest 11 started Invisalign with a local orthodontist. He's following all the instructions, including taking them out to eat. So I'm CONSTANTLY seeing a case for his aligners with our orthodontist's brand. Like every single day.

Kevin and Zach are joined by Alan Mead to do an "Ask Us Anything" segment! First, they talk about New Year's traditions (Twilight Zone anyone?) and then they answered listener questions! What are you looking forward to the most at VOD? Which speaker will leave you speechless? What is the best kind of CE to seek out as a new general dentist? Sometimes I feel as if I'm a less than adequate dentist because I don't use all the newest, greatest technology and I'm not on the cutting edge of new techniques. Can you talk a bit about the dentists that fly under the radar, the ones that just do "tried and true" dentistry? Is there shame in that? Is it important to be on the cutting edge? How does all the newest, latest, greatest make us feel, really? Excited, nervous, hungry? What was the best/most profitable new idea you implemented in your practice this year?

Dr. David Rice joined Alan for a rousing conversation that took place above the exhibit floor at the recent Greater New York Dental Meeting! David is the creator/founder of IgniteDDS and was recently placed as the editor in chief of DentistryIQ! Their conversation went all over the place and here are some of the highlights: Where did IgniteDDS come from? Dental school and student debt: then vs. now What are new dentists doing after dental school nowadays? What options does a dental degree give you? (spoiler: it's not just private practice!) Dentists as writers Dental speaking isn't as glamorous as you might think Connecting with an audience is the best and worst part about speaking Presenting "naked" and perfectionism Becoming an owner in 2021 Practice transitions: work with the people who know how! Do startups take a special kind of person? (spoiler: yes) Buy or startup? How do you find out what you like to do/you're good at? DON'T COWBOY UP! aka: know your limitations Some links from the show: IgniteDDS DentistryIQ David's Instagram IgniteDDS Facebook If you would you like support the Very Dental Podcast Network you should support our sponsors! They help us create content that is, for lack of a better word...Very Dental! Why should you care about single patient use burs? I can think of a lot of reasons, but the one your patients are thinking about is this one. What's that sound? That's the sound of a rotary instrument that's never been used on another patient. That's the sound of no cross contamination. That's the sound of your patient knowing that you are looking out for them. Sure you get a super sharp, never been used bur each and every time you open a Microcopy bur, but mostly your patients know that you take cross contamination seriously. Go check out the wide variety of single patient use products at verydentalpodcast.com/microcopy. A new (and sterile) bur…every time. Microcopy Dental. Ideal preps. That's what we aim for. One excellent way to get there is to use a core material to build the tooth back up to ideal contour. Cosmecore from Cosmedent is my choice for building up a broken down tooth. It's dual cure, comes in a variety of colors and cuts just like a tooth. You'll get a super smooth finish with no gouging. Right now I've got the 50 gram dispenser that fits in a small impression gun, but when I need to refill I think I'll go with the 8 gram syringe. Both work great, but those syringes are handy and don't take much room on a set up. Check it out at verydentalpodcast.com/cosmecore!

Laser Bob is back!   Dr. Bob Convissar tells us what to do with a laser if we invest in one this week.   We open up with a cinematic laser draft.  Who picked the best laser team? Topics touched on: Crown lengthening Biopsy Apthous Ulcer treatment Infant tongue ties De-pigment gingiva Pulpotomies Airway Treatment You can contact Bob at laserbobdds@gmail.com Buy his book on Principles and Practice of Laser Dentistry on Amazon!

I've found that using a digital workflow for posterior zirconia is very predictable. So much so that when I've evaluated margins, contour and interproximal contacts...I'm ready to cement. Why so cocky? Typically the digital workflow usually nails the occlusion. But more importantly, Microcopy Dental has a posterior adjustment system for zirconia (and lithium disilicate) that is so simple and SO GOOD. First, I use Bite-Chek articulating paper for accurate and easy to read occlusal contact marking. Then I use the specially designed Z adjuster diamond (my favorite is the tear drop shape) to refine my occlusion and finally I use the 2 step Neoshine Z polishers to bring my surface back to a high, polished shine! Microcopy has done the heavy lifting to make adjusting posterior restorations a breeze. And all of their products are single patient use so it's easy clean up and no cross contamination!

Alan features a throwback interview with Dr. Frank Spear on this Black Friday episode! Back in 2019, mere months before the pandemic, we had a chance to talk with Frank Spear about some interesting research he was doing. It seems that what dentists thought about the profession isn't exactly what the data suggested about the profession. Some topics that we covered: Why do insurance companies cover thing so differently from state to state? The beauty of practicing in groups. But not necessarily a DSO. Could someone become Frank Spear in the way that Frank did considering student debt as it is now? How did beautiful temporaries make a difference in Frank's career? Why does Frank feel responsible to help the narrative that dentists tell each other? What's the data the Frank would really like to see? Why is it so impossible to compare dental businesses and income across the country? How can you compare apples to apples? Take home message: things are better than dentists are telling themselves! What is dental school like when your dad is Frank Spear? How could dental school teach things with more context? Are there useful parallels between dental and medical education? How will Frank's teaching schedule be changing in the future? How is the curriculum at Spear Education changing? What kind of "big numbers" has Frank been impressed with lately?

Cosmecore from Cosmedent is my choice for building up a broken down tooth. It's dual cure, comes in a variety of colors and cuts just like a tooth. You'll get a super smooth finish with no gouging. Right now I've got the 50 gram dispenser that fits in a small impression gun, but when I need to refill I think I'll go with the 8 gram syringe. Both work great, but those syringes are handy and don't take much room on a set up. Check it out at verydentalpodcast.com/cosmecore! It's funny, but you never really know how your branding effects people until you see it in your own life. So Jacob, my youngest 11 started Invisalign with a local orthodontist. He's following all the instructions, including taking them out to eat. So I'm CONSTANTLY seeing a case for his aligners with our orthodontist's brand. Like every single day. I'm realizing that cases for aligners, splits and removable offer a brilliant way for people to remember your office and your brand!

After 2 years, Stephen Curran returns to the podcast to talk about how he and his team created Intuit's content design system (which blew my mind completely!). Just like in design systems, the idea is to fill it with reusable components and patterns. It can then be used both by content designers and anyone else involved in product design. And the best part is that it's publicly available! Super cool, right?Tune in to hear Stephen talk about:The different sections of Intuit's content design systemHow to break bad news to usersThe difference between voice and toneWhat UX writers and content designers can do to become co-designersChanging our mindset to think beyond microcopyStephen Curran is a Principal Content Designer at Intuit, the fintech organization behind finance solutions like TurboTax, Quickbooks, and Mint.

We start off talking about funny Thanksgiving stories. We pivot into discussing cracks and fiber usage. We lament the lack of cracked tooth education in dental school. We talk about transilluminators. We talk about using fibers as reinforcement.  We talk about fiber reinforced composite. It's always a good time when N8 the Gr8 joins us!

Neodiamonds from Microcopy Dental are very fine. I mean, all of them are awesome, but some of them are actually “very fine.” Specifically I mean the yellow striped ones they call “finishing” diamonds. I use Microcopy finishing diamonds on just about any patient that I might be spinning a bur on. Very fine finishers do the heavy lifting on composites so polishing is simple and easy. I use them to finish crown preps. I've been known to adjust Emax and Zirconia with them. Once you try them you're going to find a ton of places to use them! And just like all of Microcopy's burs, they're sterile out of the package and single use means they're sharp and efficient and can be disposed of at the end of the appointment! Go check them out at verydentalpodcast.com/veryfine (all one word)! Cosmecore by Cosmedent is one of the most versatile materials in dentistry.

Back when this podcast was called "The Dental Hacks" we used to include a segment in most shows that we called "Go Hack Yourself." It was a chance for us to talk about something we'd been using in our practice, listening to, reading, eating watching on Netflix or whatever caught our fancy at the time. I'm bring in this tradition back starting with today's episode! I'm going to drop some spicy recommendations for the Very Dental Nation to try. Or not try. Either way is cool with me.

Dentistry is hard. We can only give so much of ourselves and we can only be compassionate to our patients for so long. Dr. Brian McGue teaches sedation with 3D Dentists and at Implant Pathway and is acutely interested in helping dentists avoid burnout from compassion fatigue. So, what is compassion fatigue? Brian and Alan dig in to a topic that many of us relate to but probably haven't put into words yet.  This is the first full episode of the "We Are All Broken" podcast series. I'd love to hear from you if you find it helpful and worthwhile and perhaps some other topics you might be interested in hearing discussed!

You can cure up to 4mm increments, so it's sure to increase the efficiency of working in the posterior. It's radiopaque for easy identification on recalls, too!

The homepage is ‘Wow,' the content pages are engaging and you've done just the right amount of SEO to keep those pesky Google hummingbirds singing. But you've forgotten something. That's right — your microcopy. We know, we know. Microcopy isn't sexy. And it's certainly not the kind of copy people rave about.
