2016 Colgate Oral Health Advisory Board Members

New York, New York – Dental Hygienists are critical partners that share Colgate-Palmolive’s commitment to help patients achieve optimal oral health. As part of its continued commitment to improving oral health in the community, Colgate-Palmolive has named 12 hygienists from a wide range of communities across the U.S. to its 2016 Colgate Oral Health Advisory Board.

The Board Meeting recently held July 11-12, allowed these new board members the opportunity to share their ideas with Colgate and each other. Held at Colgate’s Global Research and Technology Center in Piscataway, New Jersey, these Board Members also met with key thought leaders and Colgate research and development experts, and were given an inside look at Colgate’s product research and innovation process.

The practicing hygienists named to Colgate’s Oral Health Advisory Board were selected based on self-nomination and the recognition submitted by their colleagues, commitment to dental hygiene and leadership within their profession. Two practicing dental hygiene authors/lecturers completed the Board composition.

The 2016 members of the Colgate Oral Health Advisory Board include:

• Dawn Breuer RDH, BS Wabasha MN

The Colgate Oral Health Advisory Board, established in 2009, is a critical element in Colgate’s well-established Colgate Oral Health Advisor program (COHA). This complimentary, innovative program offers educational benefits exclusively for the dental hygienist. Its most recent enhancement, the COHA Facebook Community, provides COHA members a unique forum for networking with fellow dental hygienists as well as an opportunity to have direct access to Colgate.
