The 2005 Townie Choice Awards Survey in Dental Hygiene is the only award for dental hygiene products determined completely by clinicians on the products, services and equipment they use every day. One Townie, one vote. During the month of August, each member of Hygienetown.com had the opportunity to vote for his or her favorite products in the following categories: Periodontics, Anesthesiology, Dental Hygiene, Practice Management, Infection Control, Cosmetic and Radiology. Your vote, if you voted, determined the winners. In some categories, it was a close race.

With so many categories to choose from, deciding was difficult. In fact, more products were included in the voting than room allows in this issue of the magazine. To see all the categories included in the Townie Choice Award ballot, visit www.hygientown.com.

In the following pages you will see what you and your Hygienetown colleagues voted the best. If your favorite isn’t a winner, make a note to vote next summer.

Every year we want to improve our survey and your comments are always appreciated. Please send your e-mail with the subject line ‘TCA Comments’ to: trisha@hygienetown.com. Thank you for your continued support of this community.

I’ll see you on Hygienetown,
Trisha O’Hehir, RDH, BS

Congratulations To Our $1,000 Winner

All those who voted for the Townie Choice Awards were automatically entered for a $1,000 cash drawing. Our winner is Pamela Reid-Williams, RDH.

“The Townie Choice Award Poll was a bit lengthy but literally paid off!” said Pamela. “Winning was truly an unexpected surprise. When Trisha called, I thought she was a prank caller.”

Pamela is married with three adult children and lives in Michigan. She graduated from Oakland Community College, Michigan in 1996 and currently works two days/week in clinical dental hygiene and is also a real estate agent with her husband.

Pamela has enjoyed a variety of work settings from general and specialty practice to a hospital setting and public health. Pamela finds the possibilities in the dental hygiene profession to be endless. Each opportunity has shaped, refined and defined who she is as a hygienist today.
