Western Dental Gets Star Treatment on Hispanic Television
Western Dental is prominently featured in a special series of children's dental
health segments currently airing on Hispanic television station XEWT-TV, Channel
12, throughout Greater San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico. The segments, called "Sonrisa
Sana," are being broadcast over 10 consecutive weeks as part of XEWT-TV's popular
and long-running bi-national "Kids Club" show. Featured are the Kids Club
boy and girl hosts, the show's popular mascot, "Tebeo" the mouse, and
Western Dental's own life-size tooth mascot, "Pearly White." Appearing
in each segment is Dr. Omar Arreola from Western Dental's Chula Vista office, who
provides tips on brushing, flossing and good oral hygiene and helps children feel
more comfortable visiting their dentist. XEWT-TV, one of the largest Televisa-owned
stations in the country, also has been promoting the segments though mentions on
its highly rated morning show and elsewhere.
