FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif.,
May 18, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOL), the global leader
in dental lasers, partnered with Healthy Smiles For Kids of
Orange County (Healthy Smiles) to
host a pediatric dental laser training on May 8. The training focused on how to use
Waterlase dental lasers for a variety of common pediatric dental
procedures and was held in the BIOLASE Learning Center in
Foothill Ranch, California.
"As the world continues to move forward following the height of
the COVID-19 pandemic, we continue to see a steady increase of
patients getting back into the dental chair," said John Beaver, President and CEO of BIOLASE. "We
thought now would be the perfect time to offer this training to the
team at Healthy Smiles, as they welcome both new and returning
patients. We are also excited to equip new members of the Healthy
Smiles team who have joined since our previous training sessions,
so that they can join the community of pediatric dentists
delivering a more pain-free and positive dental experience for
patients."
Attendees received training on laser safety, laser tissue
interactions, restorative dentistry using minimal anesthesia and
pediatric procedures including frenectomies for tongue-tie
patients.
"We are thrilled to have found a true ally in BIOLASE when it
comes to our mission of improving oral health in underserved
communities," said Ria Berger, Chief
Executive Officer of Healthy Smiles. "Our long-standing partnership
has led to a myriad of educational training, arming providers with
modern tools and techniques that we have also been able to
implement to better serve our patients' needs. It has also aided in
our ability to bring patients and dentists together for a better
understanding of oral health solutions, ultimately resulting in a
gentler experience for the thousands of children and families we
serve each year."
The training comes on the heels of the recently launched
Waterlase Pediatric Dental Academy (WPDA), for Waterlase pediatric
dentists. The Academy provides an immersive training experience
through peer-led learning, best practice sharing and on-going
mentorship, to ensure optimal integration of Waterlase technology
