Pulpdent Launches "Embrace Our Children Campaign" to Benefit OHA's Smiles Across America ProgramFebruary 22, 2007 Watertown, MA--Pit and fissure sealants, together with brushing and regular dental visits, are your child's best protection against tooth decay. To honor the 60 th anniversary of Pulpdent Corporation, Pulpdent will sponsor Oral Health America by providing 60,000 sealants in 2007 for underserved children. Pulpdent will donate Embrace WetBond Pit and Fissure Sealant, the first sealant that bonds to the moist tooth, along with Etch-Rite dental etching gel and Flecta Disposable Mirrors to fulfill its commitment. Pulpdent has long supported public health initiatives and community sealant programs for children. The company's founder, Dr. Harold Berk, was a professor of Pediatric Dentistry at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine for 59 years. Children's dentistry is part of the company's legacy. “We're giving a thousand thanks for each of our 60 years,” says Fred Berk, Vice President and Dr. Berk's son. “That's 60,000 sealants, and in addition to this important preventive measure, there is a teaching component as well. Parents and children will learn about oral hygiene and caries prevention. We tend to forget that dental caries is the most prevalent disease among children, and much of it can be prevented.” Embrace Pit and Fissure Sealant is a dental resin that forms a safe, plastic-like coating on the teeth, sealing them against tooth decay. Pit and fissures are tiny grooves and depressions on back teeth that are too small to brush and keep clean. They are perfect hiding places for food particles, bacteria and plaque, which are the primary causes of tooth decay. Pulpdent Corporation is a family owned dental manufacturing company located in Watertown , Massachusetts . The company manufactures a wide range of professional dental specialties and distributes them in 80 countries worldwide. PULPDENT Corporation, www.pulpdent.com
