Sending Patients Home with the Right Tools
Sally Kashani, DDS, on DenMat’s Rotadent ProCare® Toothbrush
After graduating from the University of California, Los Angeles, I completed 2 years of a general practice residency program at a US Department of Veterans Affairs hospital. During this time, I received extensive training in cosmetic, surgical, periodontal, and implant dentistry as well as in all other areas of restorative and general dentistry. In 2010, I opened my own practice in Toluca Lake, California. I am privileged to have a fun and unique patient population because of my location, which is close to many movie studios. I was introduced to DenMat's Rotadent ProCare® toothbrush after attending their Soft Tissue Management® course in 2014, and I began recommending it to my patients the following week.
1. Rotadent has been clinically proven to be as effective as brushing and flossing combined, removing 92% of plaque in the first minute and improving patient compliance. 2. The Rotadent toothbrush was designed to be an at-home extension of the prophy handpiece that is used to fight plaque and control disease during hygiene appointments. 3. Each Rotadent brush head has 4,577 proprietary MicroFilaments™, making it ideal for absorbing oral medication and applying it more deeply into periodontal pockets and interproximally.
