NEW YORK, NY, USA: Crest Oral-B is gearing up to recognize professionals who go above and beyond the call of duty daily. With the ‘Pros in the Profession’ contest, Crest Oral-B will reward five deserving dental hygienists, as nominated by their peers, who truly make an impact on patients and for the oral health cause.

From September 2010 to April 2011, nominations can be submitted for dental hygienists by dentists, fellow hygienists, dental assistants, professional colleagues and collegiate colleagues explaining why they are a true ‘Pro.’

In order to be considered for the program, nominees must meet the following:

Registered dental hygienist with two or more years of practice experience after graduation from dental hygiene school.
Registered dental hygienist with community service involvement. General volunteer/non-oral health-specific examples welcome, but oral health-related volunteer experience preferred.
Registered dental hygienist with examples of work that goes above and beyond the call of duty. Examples include: excellent patient relations/special care/retainment, involvement in research and/or clinical experience, published work, ability to generate additional business for their practice.
Registered dental hygienist with additional C.E. credits over state requirements.

Five extraordinary dental hygienists will be selected throughout the year. Winners will receive an award, a VIP all-expense-paid trip to ADHA’s 88th Annual Session in Nashville, Tenn., pampering spa experience and recognition at major conferences throughout the year. Plus a US$1,500 monetary prize and an exclusive trip to P&G headquarters!

So, do you know a ‘Pro’?

Nominate a Pro online or at the Crest Oral-B booth at upcoming conventions.
