LAKE
FOREST, Calif., July 5, 2022
/PRNewswire/ -- BIOLASE, Inc. (NASDAQ: BIOL), the global
leader in dental lasers, announced a partnership today
with TeamSmile. This partnership will provide children at
TeamSmile events with dental treatment free of cost with the help
of Waterlase technology. BIOLASE donated iPlus Waterlase laser
systems to provide these children with free preventative
dental care and oral education at TeamSmile events throughout
the United States.
TeamSmile launched in 2007 by Dr. Bill
Busch of NKC Dental and Jason
Krause of Henry Schein, Inc.
Since their inception, it has held over 250 programs, served over
45,000 children, and provided over $18
million in free dental care and oral health education.
"Through the support of BIOLASE, we are now able to perform
laser dentistry at our TeamSmile events. Using BIOLASE's iPlus
Waterlase lasers allows our dentists to provide their services pain
free and shot free," said John
McCarthy, TeamSmile's Executive Director. "It is a wonderful
enhancement, and what a great service to the children that attend
our events. We are so grateful to BIOLASE for their support of
TeamSmile."
BIOLASE's Waterlase technology allows the TeamSmile dentists to
perform minimally invasive procedures with less anesthetic and
without the need for drilling. Since the most common treatment for
children during TeamSmile events is cavity removal, children in
attendance will benefit from the use of Waterlase laser systems,
thanks to the removal of injections of anesthetic in the gums, loud
drills are not needed to perform the procedures either.
"We are eager to help TeamSmile provide life-changing dental
care procedures to underserved children in our communities at no
cost," commented John Beaver,
BIOLASE's President and Chief Executive Officer. "This
partnership is an inspiring and engaging opportunity to treat
children with less invasive treatments that improve their oral and
overall long-term health."
