Local Dentist Launches The Extreme Toothbrushing Challenge

A McLean dentist recently announced a toothbrushing challenge to see the most creative or "extreme" spots people are able to brush!

A local dentist in Mclean, Virginia has started a campaign to raise awareness for optimal oral health.

Dr. Wiltbank of Dolley Madison Dentistry thought of the idea after the success of the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge that went viral on social media a year ago. You might be familiar with the Extreme Ironing trend or the extreme planking fad that became trending topics on Twitter a while back, but there has yet to be an extreme brushing challenge.

Challenge applications are encouraged to submit a photo of themselves (or a friend!) brushing their teeth in the craziest location they can think of. So far there have been submissions of people brushing at some of DC’s most notable monuments, on the treadmill, and even on a hiking trail!

The goal of the Toothbrush Challenge is to encourage better brushing and oral hygiene for a brighter, whiter smile. The winner of the challenge will receive a $100 Visa Gift Card. Submit your picture today for a chance to be named The Ultimate Toothbrush Challenge Champ!
