FOOTHILL RANCH, Calif.,
Sept. 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/
-- BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOL), the global leader
in dental lasers, and Healthy Smiles for Kids of Orange County (Healthy Smiles) are inviting
dental professionals in the Orange
County area to an awareness reception around the shared
mission to improve the oral health of children in the
community.
The event is open to all members of the dental community and
will be held Sept. 24 from
5:00 p.m. - 7:00 p.m. at the BIOLASE
Learning Center, at 27042 Towne Centre Dr, Foothill Ranch, Calif. Guests can hear
testimonials from families treated at Healthy Smiles as well as
providers who have used BIOLASE's Waterlase dental lasers to
transform the dental experience one smile at a time. BIOLASE will
also present HSK with a new Waterlase i-Plus all-tissue laser at
the event, to commemorate the partnership.
"We are excited to bring more members of the dental community in
on a cause that is so close to our hearts, and in on the fun that
we have with our long-standing partner, Healthy Smiles," said
John Beaver, President and CEO of
BIOLASE. "It has been moving over the years to see our mission of
advancing density embraced by so many in the area, and we continue
to seek out ways that we can give back. I believe this is just
another step in reaching our goal of raising a generation of kids
not afraid of going to the dentist."
Since 2018, Healthy Smiles and BIOLASE have collaborated on
local programs directed at prevention, outreach and education,
access to treatment, and advocacy in the community. 1 in 3 children
living in Orange County are
reported to have tooth decay, while 1 in 10 children living in the
area have never visited a dentist. Healthy Smiles' clinics and
school-based programs have provided critical dental services to
underserved children since 2003, reaching around 100,000 children
and parents each year.
"This year we hit a milestone of our millionth child served
since inception," said Ria
Berger, Chief Executive Officer of Healthy Smiles. "It is
partners like BIOLASE that make a number like this possible. We are
deeply appreciative of BIOLASE for their support, and offering the
Healthy Smiles team, and the families who have benefited from our
services, a platform like this event to share their stories."
