Can you promote in r/askdentists?

Do you have any dental questions to ask or stories to share? Ask a dental professional!

The short answer

Do not promote your product or company; if you are not a verified dental professional avoid public outreach and only provide purely non-promotional, clinical help in comment threads (no links or calls-to-action).

What works here

  • Answer clinical questions if you are a verified dental professional and follow verification rules
  • Non-professionals may reply only to existing top-level comments or the automoderator reply
  • Include photos and detailed clinical info when relevant (patients)

What gets posts removed

  • Posting ads, promotions, sales pitches, market research, or recruitment
  • Mentioning or linking to your product/company or asking users to DM you
  • Making top-level comments unless you are a verified dental professional
  • Sharing identifiable patient/practice information

Where this comes from

View the current official rules on Reddit

No advertisements

Rule explicitly bans ads, sales, promotions, market research and even verified professionals promoting services.

Top-level comments restricted

Only verified dental professionals can make top-level comments, limiting vendor outreach and lead generation.

No DMs / unsolicited contact

Unsolicited direct messages or requests to DM are prohibited and can lead to bans, so private outreach is blocked.

Verification required for professionals

Becoming a verified contributor requires moderator-verified credentials, so unofficial vendor claims will be removed.

Clinical focus only

Subreddit is for clinical/diagnostic questions; non-clinical posts (e.g., prices, promotions) will be deleted.
