LAS VEGAS, Nev., USA: In partnership with the American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA), The Dental Geek Blog has launched a campaign dedicated to generating funds for the ADHA’s Institute for Oral Health (IOH). The campaign, titled #TheDentalGeekSelfie, is aimed at bringing the dental community together to give back to the dental hygiene profession.

The Dental Geek is asking dental professionals to submit a group selfie at www.thedentalgeek.com/selfie. For every group selfie submitted from a dental professional team — whether it’s a dental office, marketing team or dental lab — The Dental Geek will donate $1 to the IOH.

The IOH’s mission is to advance the profession of dental hygiene through educational scholarships, research grants and community service grants to hygienists throughout the country.

In addition to the donation to the IOH, The Dental Geek will choose one participating dental office at random and provide it with a free professional photography session. The high-quality photography session of the practice and its employees offers a great marketing tool for website and social media development as well as patient brochures.
