"I'm very excited to help lead the launch of the new Epic
Hygiene Academy. This is a place dental hygienists can go to obtain
information, continuing education, engage with peers and feel
supported," said Valerie Dangler. "I
am proud to support a community where hygienists can collaborate
with mentors and educators in laser dentistry who are committed to
our profession and to the pursuit of better patient outcomes."
The academy is also committed to exposing the next generation of
hygienists to dental laser technology through dental hygiene
programs that help prepare them for clinical
practice. As part of this commitment, BIOLASE has
selected to donate an Epic Hygiene to Greenville Technical College's hygiene program,

The Epic Hygiene is uniquely designed by hygienists for hygienists,
and is FDA-cleared for laser bacterial reduction (LBR).

are excited to partner with BIOLASE in training our faculty and
students on the use of laser technology. The use of this technology
and the certification our future dental hygienists will be able to
obtain will benefit the college, the patients we serve, the dental
hygiene profession, and the state," said Traci Willimon, CDA, RDH, EdD, Academic Program
Director of Dental Hygiene at Greenville
