The Pennsylvania Academy of General Dentistry
(PAGD) recently launched KidzGrinz, a Web site for children and their parents,
educators and advocates. This announcement is made to coincide with National
Children's Dental Health Month, observed in February. The site was developed
jointly by PAGD and the Art Institute of Pittsburgh, with major funding
from the Academy of General Dentistry Foundation and further financial
assistance from the Colgate-Palmolive Company.
"Children are so computer savvy that we knew
creating a Web-based vehicle would be an excellent way to reach them with
fun information about their dental care," said John Kokai, DDS,
vice president for PAGD, who championed the project.
An entertaining attraction of the KidzGrinz
site is a cast of custom created dental cartoon characters designed
to entertain children and allow them to learn at the same time. The characters
include "Suds," a toothbrush; "Strings," a box of floss; "Squeeze," a toothpaste
tube; and "Turbo," a battery-powered toothbrush superhero.
The website features six unique sections.
"Suds and Friends" teaches kids good oral hygiene habits, "Peek Inside"
allows kids to learn about their mouth's anatomy, "Munchies" addresses
good eating habits, "Brace Yourself" helps children understand why they
may need this common treatment, "Goggles, Gloves and Gowns" gives a child-guided
tour that takes the mystery out of visiting a dentist, and "What's Up Doc"
allows kids, parents and teachers to e-mail dentists at the national Academy
of General Dentistry to have any dental question answered!

The URLwire
Effect:
"URLwire is
without question the most effective way to tell the right people in the
online world about your web site"
-- CoolShopping.com
My experience
with URLWire has been entirely positive. I received coverage (and links!)
from key sites and in e-newsletters, one of which had over 500,000 readers.
Resulting traffic has been more than impressive. URLwire
demonstrated
to me that it's the prime choice for announcing a web site. Edwin

"Eric, URLwire
got our site covered and linked online in places we'd tried for months
to get in without success. And, URLwire did it in one day.
