ADHA announces keynotes and
Community Service Day details
Graffiti artist, author, entrepreneur Erik Wahl and MSNBC ‘Morning Joe’
cohost Mika Brzezinski will speak at the two morning plenary sessions
T
he American Dental Hygienists’ Association (ADHA) has announced the details of its two
plenary sessions and Community Service Day set to take place during
the 2016 Center for Lifelong Learning
(CLL) at the 93rd Annual Session being
held in downtown Pittsburgh from June
8–14. Beginning at 8 a.m. on Thursday,
June 9, and Saturday, June 11, this years’
two keynote sessions will feature speakers Erik Wahl and Mika Brzezinski.
Community Service Day — made possible by the ADHA’s Foundation: Institute for Oral Health (IOH) — is set for
Wednesday, June 8, from 12:30 to 4:30
p.m. at Mercy Health Systems in downtown Pittsburgh.
Sponsored by Arm & Hammer Truly
Radiant, Thursday’s 8 a.m. session, titled
“Unlock Your Creative Genius,” will be
delivered by U.S. graffiti artist, author,
motivational speaker, and entrepreneur
Wahl. Sponsored by Procter & Gamble
Crest + Oral-B, Saturday’s session will
begin with the ADHA awards ceremony
at 8 a.m., followed by the keynote presentation, titled “Knowing Your Value,” by
Brzezinski, best-selling author, journalist and cohost of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
Doors open at 7:30 a.m. for both plenary
sessions. All CLL attendees and exhibitors are encouraged to attend.
“The enthusiasm and anticipation surrounding CLL at the 93rd Annual Session
continues to build as we come ever closer
to the largest gathering of dental hygiene
professionals in the country,” said ADHA
President Jill Rethman, RDH. “We are
proud to introduce keynote speakers Erik
Wahl and Mika Brzezinski, who are sure
to bring unique perspectives and a great
deal of energy to this years’ plenary sessions.”
The ADHA and Institute for Oral Health
are also pleased to once again be hosting
Community Service Day — a kickoff to
the annual session. The Community Service Day program is designed to bring
registered dental hygienists from around
the country together in a local community outreach event. Participants educate
at-risk populations and help support the
community by providing dental hygiene
education, oral cancer screening and varnish treatments.
“This is an initiative that demonstrates
the foundation’s determination to bet-
ter the public’s total
health by increasing
the awareness of and
access to quality oral
health care,” said Rethman about the Community Service Day’s
impact. “We made a
significant impact on

Institute for Oral Health plans 5k run/walk
As part of the largest gathering of dental hygiene professionals in the U.S., the
American Dental Hygienists’ Association
will launch a charitable fun run/walk
titled In Motion: 5K Run-Walk-Fun on
Thursday, June 9, at 8 p.m. in downtown
Pittsburgh. Set to take place during the
2016 Center for Lifelong Learning at the
93rd Annual Session, the race is designed
to raise funds for ADHA’s foundation,
the Institute for Oral Health, which is
committed to empowering, supporting
and developing education and research
opportunities for dental hygiene professionals.
“The Institute for Oral Health is thrilled
to host its inaugural 5K to further our
mission of service, research and scholarship,” said Kelli Swanson Jaecks, MA,
RDH, chair of the ADHA Institute of Oral
Health. “This event will be the highlight
of the annual session, and whether you
run, walk or shuffle, I invite everybody
to participate in what will be the first of
many memorable 5Ks to come.”
Scholarships, research, access to care
Proceeds from the fun run/walk will help
fund scholarships for dental hygiene students, provide research opportunities
for those expanding the field of dental
hygiene, and support dental hygienists
who donate their services to improve access to oral health care and education in
their communities.
Runners and walkers of all skill levels
are invited to participate in the event as
individuals or in teams. All participants
will be treated to an “After Glow Party”
immediately following the race. In addition, ADHA hosted an In Motion: 5K RunWalk-Fun Song Contest on social media,
in which the song with the most votes at
the end of the contest is being crowned
as the anthem of this year’s race.
“The In Motion: 5K Run-Walk-Fun is an
exciting way to engage students, exhibitors, friends, alumni, states, corporate
sponsors and districts, all running or
walking together for a great cause,” said
ADHA CEO Ann Battrell. “With more
funds, IOH can increase its presence nationwide and continue to do great work
in the field of oral health.”
For 5K registration information, go to

years consecutively (2013, 2014, 2015,
and now 2016), but has done so because
of the celebrated splatter-free, 1.23 percent fluoride ion application. Gelato is
tough enough for high-luster polishing
and stain removal, and remains gentle
enough on the enamel with minimal
enamel loss, according to the company.
Disposable cups eliminate crosscontamination
The paste comes in boxes of 200 individual disposable cups for convenient
use. The disposable cups also eliminate
cross-contamination and include a prophy ring for ease of application on the
patient’s teeth. For more options, the
paste is also available in six-ounce (exports only) and 12-ounce jars.
Available in four different grits (fine,
medium, coarse and x-course), Gelato
will take care of your various stain removal needs. Typically, hygienists use
the fine grit for routine use and the
medium grit gives a little more stain
removal power. The coarse paste is required for removing moderate to heavy
stains. No matter the job, Gelato Prophy
Paste provides exactly what dental professionals need, the company asserts.
Keystone Industries continues to put
forward the largest assortment of greattasting Gelato flavors such as piña colada, and orange sherbet. The paste line
also has mint, cherry, bubble gum and
raspberry flavors for a plethora of flavor options to satisfy picky clients. The
individual cups are clearly labeled for
quick retrieval and application.
Quality and price
Overall, Keystone is proud of this highly regarded review from The Dental Advisor. As a company that strives to create the best quality products at the best
price, Keystone is proud to assert that
“Gelato Prophy Paste has hit the mark
with quality and price.”
According to the company, the statistics and feedback are what gave Gelato such a high rating and awards four
years running now, but they also speak
for the high-quality work Keystone Industries puts into its American-made
dental products.
Across the board dentists and lab
technicians alike, give Gelato and the
various amounts of other products
great feedback, according to the company.
To see the official Dental Advisor website announcing Gelato as the 2016 Prophy Paste winner, you can visit http://
