Product Donation Supports Pediatric Care at 22 NCOHF Affiliate Locations 

  

(Charlotte, NC?

November 30, 2010) Novalar Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a specialty pharmaceutical

company focused in dental, donated over $100,000 worth of OraVerse® product to National

Children’s Oral Health Foundation: America’s Toothfairy?

(NCOHF) to support comprehensive Affiliate pediatric oral health services. 

The NCOHF Affiliate network is a

consortium of more than 60 of America’s

finest not-for-profit oral health programs providing quality, comprehensive

dental services to underserved children in their communities. In just 5 years,

the NCOHF Affiliate network has reached more than 1 million children with

life-changing oral health care.

22 NCOHF Affiliates benefited

from the Novalar donation of OraVerse, a product that reverses lingering soft

tissue anesthesia after routine procedures where a local anesthetic with a

vasocontrictor was used.  

 “Novalar is extremely proud to be able to

support NCOHF in its efforts to expand quality dental care to children by way

of this donation of OraVerse product,” said Donna Janson, President and CEO of

Novalar.  “Children may have an increased

risk of chewing their lips and tongue while numb, so the addition of OraVerse

may have a significant post-procedural benefit for this patient

population.   

“NCOHF is always eager to partner

with caring corporations like Novalar that share our dedication to the health

and wellbeing of America’s most underserved children,” said Fern Ingber, MEd,

NCOHF president and CEO.  “This generous

donation allows our growing Affiliate network to provide enhanced patient care

and give more at-risk children in their community the priceless gift of health

this holiday season.”
