It’s no coincidence that National Dental Hygiene Month and Halloween each fall in October. Sugary treats might be the focus of both, but a dentist in Falls Church, VA wants to sweeten you up on the importance of good oral health.
Dental Care Alliance (DCA), a leading dental support organization, is marking both events with a spooky social media campaign created by their agency of record, MDG Advertising.
Written by Michael Del Gigante
The Wicked Witch of Bad Breath, Count Placula, and Gummy the Mummy are some of the scary stars encouraging patients to take care of their BOO-tiful smiles, across DCA’s multiple Facebook brand pages for its affiliated practices.
The messages being used to educate on social media include, “Get WRAPPED UP in good dental care—October is National Dental Hygiene Month! Gummy the Mummy wants to help reduce your chances of gum disease and tooth loss. Make sure to brush and floss daily so you don’t send your teeth to the tomb!”
Each ghoulish character provides social media users with valuable tips about the many terrifying things that can happen when you don’t brush and floss daily, such as plaque buildup, tartar, and cavities.
With a combined social media audience of more than 100,000 Facebook fans, Dental Care Alliance’s fright-fully fun twist to this holiday is getting noticed.
