FIRST “PROS IN THE PROFESSION” WINNER SELECTED


Crest? Oral-B? announce RDH Ann Benson as first recipient, to be honored with award

CINCINNATI, Nov. 29, 2010 -- Crest? Oral-B? are thrilled to announce Ann Benson as the first recipient of the brands’ new Pros in the Profession award program for Registered Dental Hygienists who go above and beyond the call of duty. Ann was selected from an overwhelming pool of qualified candidates for her initiative in starting Mobile Dentistry of Arizona, a practice that brings comprehensive dental care to those with limited transportation.
Providing excellent oral care for all is a passion for Ann, who works tirelessly to combat tooth decay and gum disease in her surrounding community, in and around the Phoenix Metro Area.
"I am so honored to be recognized by Crest Oral-B as their first of five Pros in the Profession,” said Ann Benson, who graduated from University of Iowa and now resides in Mesa, AZ. “I truly love what I do and could not imagine doing anything else; I so appreciate Crest Oral-B supporting me through and through."
High-quality dental care with a personal touch is not just an aspiration for Ann; it is her way of life. Together with a staff of three doctors, three assistants and one other hygienist, she visits skilled nursing, long term care and other age qualified communities and assisted living homes to provide dental care to residents. Since starting Mobile Dentistry of Arizona in June 2009, Ann has noticed a growing demand for their services, especially for patients with Alzheimer’s and Dementia. These patients ask specifically for Ann, whose caring nature and keen skills, acquired through more than 15 years as an R.D.H., enable her to rise above challenging situations. For Ann, successful treatment of these patients is the ultimate reward.
"I have been working with Ann Benson for years, to ensure her patients have the proper tools to improve their oral care, and couldn't be more proud of her for winning this award,” said Terri Pipes, Crest Oral-B
Account Manager. “As evident through her intense dedication and everlasting passion for providing proper oral care for her patients, many of which would not have the care without her, she is truly deserving of being recognized by Crest Oral-B as a Pro on the Profession."
As a Pro in the Profession winner, Ann will receive a $1,500 monetary prize, a VIP all-expense-paid trip to ADHA’s 88th Annual Session in Nashville, a pampering spa experience, an award and recognition at major conferences and in dental trade publications throughout the year, plus an exclusive trip to P&G headquarters!
