Our practice always enjoys the opportunity to recognize a member of our staff for their achievements. Oftentimes these things go without any mention at all, but we think it is appropriate to point out.

In May, one of our dental hygienists, Karla, was recognized by the California Dental Hygienists’ Association for her outstanding contribution to the Ventura County Dental Hygienists’ Association over the past year. We admire her dedication to her profession.

In June, Karla was also selected for the 2015 Colgate Oral Health Advisory Board. Instituted in 2009, the Colgate Oral Health Advisory Board is a critical element in Colgate’s well-established Oral Health Advisor Program. Twelve hygienists were named to the Colgate Oral Health Advisory Board for the year 2015. They were selected based on self nomination, recognition submitted by their colleagues, their commitment to dental hygiene and leadership within their profession. Karla was honored to participate in this opportunity in June. She was invited to attend a three day conference held at Colgate’s Global Research and Technology Center in Piscataway, New Jersey. Here, the board members met with key opinion leaders and Colgate research and development experts.

When you see Karla, please join us in congratulating her on her dedication and well earned achievements.
