The American
Dental Association tasked Oncall with making a notoriously
grim topic fun for kids: the visit to the dentist's
office. Oncall developed "Visit the Dentist
with Marty" to familiarize children with the
process of a dental check-up and add a level of comfort
even in the dentist's office. The main
character, Marty, allows the target audience of children
aged 3-8 years old to join him during his trip to the
dentist, therefore alleviating much of the anxiety
and answering most questions children have prior to
their initial dental visits. Dental practitioners,
parents, and children appreciated the value of instructional
entertainment. The game can be played at American Dental
Association’s website, at www.ada.org.
