Let’s play a game— let’s grow your dental practice!
This month we’re playing a favorite word game: the crossword, which actually dates back to the early 1900s. The more you know, the better . . . so let’s get started!

Rules of the game

Easy! Use the clues to solve each marketing riddle. Spell out the dental marketing term on the board to the right, and if you guess all the words, you win!

Tips to win
  • Focus on lead-generating tactics. We’re not interested in any strategy that doesn’t grow your practice.


  • The clues may point you to a term that is two words put together, just a heads-up!


  • Be on the lookout for hidden innuendos, and you’ll guess the word in a snap.


Bonus section

Complete the crossword, snap a picture of your answers, and email your photo to DE Managing Editor Zachary Kulsrud at [email protected]. Your picture will grace DE’s social media pages, and new customers of PostcardMania will receive 5,000 free postcards.
