Discus Dental® Celebrates the Legacy of Steve Irwin
 
(Culver City, CA), November 15, 2007 – Many people around the world today will be remembering one of the greatest wildlife conservationists that ever lived – Steve Irwin. In honor of his memory and amazing legacy, Discus Dental, LLC, a leading manufacturer and marketer of premium professional and consumer dental products has donated 100 Protégé® Ultrasonic devices to the Australian Wildlife Hospital – a major project of Wildlife Warriors Worldwide, the charity founded by Steve and Terri Irwin.  The donation will coincide with Steve Irwin Day 2007 and is meant to honor his life and work as a wildlife conservationist pioneer.  Irwin, the original “Wildlife Warrior”, dedicated his life to animal conservation and preservation. 
 
The Australian Wildlife Hospital has two major units: 1) a rescue unit, which collects sick, injured and orphaned wildlife, then rehabilitates them before releasing them back into the wild;  and 2) a veterinary unit with an intensive care room and laboratory.  The Protégé Ultrasonics donation will help continue Steve Irwin’s work of providing a lifeline to wildlife in need of care.  Veterinary Dentistry-including the treatment of periodontal disease, fractured teeth, orthodontics and teeth cleaning- is such a lifeline.  In fact, it has been suggested that no other procedure performed on small animals does more to help them than periodic teeth cleaning and after care. 
 
“Steve Irwin brought wildlife conservation and preservation awareness into the homes of viewers around the world,” says Todd Cooper, senior vice president of Sales and Marketing for Discus Dental.
 “With our donation, we hope to raise awareness of the importance of veterinary dental care, which I think is often overlooked in dentistry.”
 
Some highlights of the Protégé Ultrasonics include:
  • Available with or without a built-in light (LED)
  • Ultra-thin tips
  • Ergonomic design
  • Available in 25K and 30K frequencies
