NEW YORK, NY, USA: Crest Oral-B congratulates Kareen Wilson, RDH, of Bloomfield, Conn., as the third winner of the brands’ second Pros in the Profession award program, which honors registered dental hygienists who go above and beyond the call of duty every day. Wilson has been practicing dental hygiene for more than 15 years, holding a bachelor of science degree from Loma Linda University.
She is part owner of the family practice, where her husband practices dentistry.
After careful consideration of a pool of qualified candidates, a panel of judges selected Wilson for the award based on her commitment to the oral health of not only her patients but also those in countries who do not have access to proper oral health care.
Starting in 2004, Wilson realized her true calling when she joined mission trips to the Dominican Republic and Peru along with several other medical professionals and witnessed the drastic need for better oral health care in these countries and other parts of the world. Driven by that experience, she helped start the Bethesda Medical Mission (BMM), a nonprofit organization dedicated to offering free health services to enrich the lives of global citizens who are less fortunate.
Serving an active role on the board of directors of BMM, Wilson joins a band of pediatricians, psychologists and general practitioners who facilitate mission trips to territories covering the Caribbean, Africa, Central American and South America. This year, she will join BMM on its second mission trip to Haiti.
Wilson’s passion for improving oral health is carried with her each day in her profession as well. She is committed to educating her patients about whole-body wellness and the correlation between their oral health and overall health. With the help of some of her favorite dental products, Wilson strives to keep her patients bacteria-free and is always thrilled to see the results of her work in patients, both inside her dental practice and in other parts of the world.
Throughout the year, three other professionals will join Wilson, Donna Caminiti of Springfield, Ill., and Julie Wells Kroeker of McAllen, Texas, as this year’s Crest Oral-B Pros in the Profession winners. Winners will receive a $1,000 prize, recognition at a special award cocktail reception at RDH’s Under One Roof 2012 in Las Vegas, a recognition plaque, tribute in dental trade media news announcements and on dentalcare.com, and a trip to P&G headquarters.
If you know a worthy pro, give them the recognition they deserve by nominating them today. Nominations will be accepted through April, either online or at the Crest Oral-B booth at the next dental convention. Nominations should be submitted by dentists, fellow hygienists, dental assistants, professional colleagues and collegiate colleagues, conveying why their nominee is a true pro.
