AAPD’s Healthy Smiles, Healthy Children Foundation and Ultradent Partner
March 10, 2008 South Jordan, UT
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry (AAPD)’s foundation, Healthy Smiles, Healthy Children, and Ultradent Products, Inc. partner to host the 2007-2009 Leadership Institute II at the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, a world recognized leader in graduate business education. The Leadership Institute was launched after the partnership originally formed in 2004.
In 2004, Ultradent Products, Inc. endowed the Healthy Smiles, Healthy Children foundation with a $1 million gift. The donation is being used to support the pediatric dentistry curriculum for AAPD members. The curriculum focuses on leadership programs which shape philosophical and operational foundations for current and future AAPD members. A few members of Ultradent’s executive management team are currently enrolled in the premier program.
"Healthy Smiles, Healthy Children is proud to once again partner with Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management and Ultradent Products, Inc. to host the 2007-2009 Leadership Institute II,” said David K Curtis D.M.D., Chairman of the Leadership Institute Selection Committee. “It is truly a unique opportunity to partner with Ultradent. Ultradent is a wonderful company that is not only a world leader in the development and manufacturing of dental products but also a leader in their commitment to improving the oral health of our nation's children. The Leadership Institute is the first of its kind in the profession of dentistry. Its launch wouldn’t have been possible without the generous endowment of Ultradent. We are extremely grateful for their generous gift, but equally important, for the presence of their leading executives as participants in the Institute’s program to represent the “real world” of business."
The Healthy Smiles, Healthy Children foundation and Ultradent share a passion for preventive oral health measures. Ultradent has invested in the Leadership Institute with the goal of continuing to serve those who serve children in their oral health needs.

The “Hollywood Tooth Whitener” – Opalescence Trèswhite Supreme
March 3, 2008 Salt Lake City, UT
Opalescence Trèswhite Supreme was spotted mingling with celebrities at the 2008 Academy Awards. MTV’s Mario Lopez, 7th Heaven’s Beverly Mitchell and Nickelodeon’s Devon Werkheiser were among celebrities at the TMG International luxury suite in Beverly Hills, California. Opalescence was invited back this year as the featured tooth whitening “beauty” product due to popular demand.
The red carpet wouldn’t be the same without the glitz and glamour of a Hollywood smile. With a wear time of only 30-60 minutes, Opalescence Trèswhite Supreme offers visible results within days with less sensitivity and all the benefits that only a dental company could offer. Packaged in a simple, one-size-fits-all, disposable system, Oscar-bound stars at the suite were excited about how easy it is to brighten their smiles.
In January, Opalescence Trèswhite Supreme also made a guest appearance at a Sundance Film Festival beauty suite in Park City, Utah. Guests of the suite included independent film actors, consumer beauty/entertainment publications (People, Prevention, Self and US Magazine), TV talent (Brothers & Sisters, High School Musical) and entertainment affiliates (TV Guide, E! Entertainment).
