Dental Content Writer | Mariam Olayode

Dental Content Writer for Dental Practices and Agencies

I’m Mariam Olayode, a registered Dental Surgery Assistant and dental content writer based in Lagos, Nigeria. I create patient-friendly, search-focused content for dental practices and marketing agencies.

My chairside experience gives me direct insight into the questions patients ask and the concerns that influence their treatment decisions. I use that understanding to write dental content that patients can follow and that reflects the intent behind their searches.

I currently write for a UK dental marketing agency, producing patient-facing content for multiple dental practices and working from SEO briefs, practice-specific requirements and editorial feedback. My bylined work has been published by DentistryIQ, KevinMD, BellaNaija, Vanguard Nigeria and Emergency Dental Service, and I am a contributor to Pulse Nigeria.

SERVICES

Dental Blog Articles

I write patient-focused dental articles based on the questions patients ask in dental settings and search for online. Each article is structured to answer the search clearly while supporting the website’s wider content strategy.

Treatment and Location Pages

I create treatment and location pages that explain a practice’s services in clear language. The content helps prospective patients understand the treatment and where it is available without forced keyword repetition.

Content Refreshes and SEO Optimisation

I refresh existing dental pages so they answer the intended search more clearly. I preserve useful information and revise the parts that no longer serve the reader or the page’s SEO goal.

Patient Education Materials

I create easy-to-follow resources that help patients understand dental treatment and care instructions. The language is adapted to the intended audience without oversimplifying important information.

Dental Website Copy

I write website copy that reflects the practice’s voice and helps visitors understand what it offers. The content can be adapted to fit an existing website structure or developed for a new page.

What I Bring to Your Dental Content

I have worked from more than 20 dental content briefs for UK dental practices. I use each brief to understand the page’s purpose, search intent and audience before drafting. When refreshing existing content, I preserve useful information while addressing gaps and weak targeting.

I adapt my writing to each practice’s established voice and requirements, with attention to dental terminology, internal linking and the evidence needed to support clinical claims.

I am comfortable working within an editorial process. I use feedback to improve each piece and flag unclear instructions or unsupported claims rather than making assumptions.
