names Dental Hygienists to Oral Health Advisory Board
As part of its continued commitment to improving
oral health in the community, Colgate-Palmolive named 10 dental hygienists to
its 2011 Oral Health Advisory Board. The
board members will work with Colgate to find ways to more effectively reach
patients across the U.S.
Dental Hygienists are critical
partners for Colgate because they interact frequently with patients and are
trusted advisors on oral health, disease prevention and daily oral care. The board is comprised of ten dental hygienists from a wide range of communities across the
U.S.
The meeting with the 10 board members was held in
New York City in August – providing the board with the opportunity to share
their ideas on providing optimal oral care to patients. The board members met with top Oral Care
leaders at Colgate in New York City, as well as at the company’s global Colgate
Research and Technology Center in Piscataway, New Jersey.
The Oral Health Advisory Board, established in 2009,
is a critical element in Colgate’s well-established Oral Health Advisor
program. This complimentary, innovative program offers educational benefits
exclusively for the dental hygienist and partners with the leader in oral care.

The eight practicing hygienists on the board were

volunteer outreach efforts and commitment to dental hygiene. Two dental hygiene
author/lecturers complete the Board composition.
