DISCUS DENTAL® ANNOUNCES THE WINNER FOR THE 2007
BREATHRX® HYGIENIST OF THE YEAR AWARD
 
 
(Culver City, CA), October 5, 2007 – Discus Dental, LLC, a leading direct manufacturer and marketer of professional and consumer dental products, today announced Arvie Malik of Newport Beach, California as winner of the 2007 BreathRx  Hygienist of the Year Award. As Hygienist of the year, Ms. Malik will receive a $5,000 cash prize and one year’s supply of the BreathRx Fresh Breath System products. Additionally, as national spoke person for the dental hygiene profession, Ms. Malik will appear on the cover of the November issue of Modern Hygienist magazine, and star in a national BreathRx commercial.
            The BreathRx Hygienist of the Year Award seeks to recognize the “best of the best” in the hygiene industry. Through her academic and professional achievements, Arvie Malik clearly represents the best in her field. A graduate of Texas Women’s University, not only does Arvie work as a periodontal therapist, oral health educator and treatment coordinator at a private prosthodontic practice in Newport Beach, but she manages its hygiene department too.  She also serves as an instructor in the Department of Dental Hygiene at West Los Angeles College, and as a course director for dental hygiene at the Newport Coast Oral Facial Institute. She was invited to speak at the upcoming 33rd Annual USC Periodontal & Implant Symposium about the impact of magnification on the future of dental hygiene therapies. What’s most impressive about Arvie is her passion for her work; a passion that she passes onto her patients in and out of the chair. 
 
“Arvie embodies all the characteristics of an outstanding hygienist professional. She is one part  educator, one part advocate for patient’s oral health and most importantly, she’s 100% caring,” says Robert Hayman, President & CEO of Discus Dental.  “It is my great pleasure and honor to have the opportunity to recognize Arvie Malik as this year’s BreathRx Hygienist of the Year.”
This year, five finalists were selected from more than 500 hundred applications.  The finalists were then flown to Beverly Hills where they were interviewed and filmed in a commercial screen test.  The BreathRx Hygienist of the Year judging panel consisted of the immediate past president of the American Dental Hygienists Association, the editors and publisher of Modern Hygienist magazine, as well as Discus Dental senior executives.
