Crest Oral-B Honors Six Dental Hygienists

Crest Oral-B has named the recipients of its second annual Pros in the Profession awards program, which acknowledges deserving Registered Dental Hygienists (RDHs) whose excellence in education, volunteerism and treatment enhance the public’s oral health with the ultimate goal of improving overall health.

“Dental hygienists have one of the most hands-on jobs in the healthcare profession. They are essential members of the oral healthcare team, with a unique ability to motivate and educate diverse patient populations about oral health and oral disease prevention,” said Wendy Bebey, RDH, BS, P&G dental hygienist relations manager. “Crest Oral-B salutes this year’s winners who have used their knowledge, skills and passion to improve oral care both locally and abroad.”

The award-winners this year are Donna Caminiti, Julie Wells Kroeker, Kareen Wilson, Kasha Lower, Olga Torres, and Hayley Wood-Klauer, RDH. They will be recognized at a special ceremony on July 31 at RDH Under One Roof 2012, an annual continuing education dental conference in Las Vegas.
