Colgate-Palmolive has named 12 dental hygienists to its 2017 Colgate Oral Health Advisory Board. The newly appointed members (shown to the right) were selected based on their commitment to dental hygiene and demonstrated leadership in the profession.

The board convened in July at Colgate’s Global Research and Technology Center in Piscataway, New Jersey, to share their ideas with Colgate and each other. They will collaborate with Colgate through out the coming year in an effort to support dental hygienists through the Colgate Oral Health Advisor (COHA) program. Established in 2009, COHA is a complimentary program that offers educational benefits exclusively for dental hygienists. For more information, visit colgateoralhealthadvisor.com.
