Mindshare And Sensodyne Develop First of its Kind Tech Solution to Treat Tooth Sensitivity

Mindshare created a chatbot, which when invoked through Google Assistant, by simply saying ‘Hello Sensodyne’, discussed oral care problems with users.

An alarming 34 per cent of Indian adults suffer from tooth sensitivity, but only 12 per cent take action, according to TNS Research 2018. A recent Twitter poll also suggested that 71 per cent of audiences do not remember the last they visited a dentist. It was also found that visiting a dentist is not considered important because of pre-conceived notions about the costs involved, fear of pain related to tooth ailments and the belief that home remedies are good enough to maintain oral health. And to address these issues, Mindshare, the largest media agency from the GroupM umbrella, created a first of its kind technology driven chatbot exclusively for GSK brand Sensodyne- the world’s No1 sensitivity toothpaste.

On the occasion of World Oral Health Day, Sensodyne brought virtual dentists closer to the public, in order to give them the best oral care advice. To do this, Mindshare created a chatbot, which when invoked through Google Assistant, by simply saying ‘Hello Sensodyne’, discussed oral care problems with users. The revolutionary chatbot also offered information about the causes of tooth sensitivity, and how one can treat the problem using Sensodyne. Through the chatbot, users could also order a free Sensodyne sample. At the end of the chat, they were given an option to go to Lybrate.com, enter their location and book a dental appointment, for which Sensodyne paid INR 700 of the dentist’s fees. The tie-up with Lybrate and Google is also a stepping stone towards the future of the brand which aims to create more awareness about the importance of oral health care, and encourage citizens to regularly visit the dentist.

As a part of their 360o approach, Sensodyne also set up large screens and kiosks in prominent locations across Delhi, Mumbai and Bengaluru, where they conducted a free chill test for people, and those who tested positive, where then directed to the screen where they interacted with a dentist.  They also leveraged the power of TV and Radio, with dentists talking about tooth sensitivity throughout the day, as well as print advertisements to further spread their message. The brand also released a teaser on YouTube and Twitter, besides deploying influencers and poll-based creative to generate awareness about the ‘Hello Sensodyne’ movement.
