TORONTO—OraVital recently hired hygiene thought leader Lisa Wadsworth, RDH, BS/Psy. as a consultant to lead its newly-launched United States hygiene educator program. 

In this role, Wadsworth will oversee the company’s efforts to recruit and train qualified American dental hygienists on how to effectively promote and implement the OraVital System for the predictable diagnosis and treatment of the oral infections that cause periodontal disease, halitosis, peri-implantitis and caries.

“The 'hygienist as advocate and educator' model has worked extremely well for us in Canada, and Lisa’s clinical and corporate experience will be instrumental in helping us expand our network of certified, well-trained clinics in the United States," said OraVital’s CEO, James Hyland, DDS.

“After receiving hands-on training in Dr. Hyland’s office, and visiting OraVital’s state-of-the-art lab, I’m convinced that the OraVital System will have a positive impact on the oral health and total health of our patients. I’m very excited to be part of OraVital’s expansion into the US dental market.” said Wadsworth.

OraVital hygiene educators will receive comprehensive online training and phone coaching that covers the following areas:

• The incidence, risk and symptoms of oral infection
• The science behind OraVital’s BioFilmDNA and BioFilmGS (Gram stain) microbial testing and the need for accurate diagnosis
• The science and efficacy of OraVital’s personalized regimen of prescribed antibiotic/antifungal and antimicrobial rinses.
• Integration of the OraVital system into an existing periodontal treatment protocol
• How the OraVital system minimizes oral-systemic health risks
• Patient education for case acceptance and compliance

Once a prospective hygiene educator successfully completes this training, they will be able to impart this knowledge to prospective OraVital certified clinics and also provide ongoing clinical education support after clinic certification.

OraVital’s U.S. Hygiene Educators are independent contractors who will be compensated via a combination of hourly pay combined with a variety of practice performance incentives. In addition, online inquiries, trade show leads, etc. will be forwarded to OraVital hygiene educators according to their geographic location.
