Crest® and Oral-B® Bolster Partnership with the Hispanic Dental Association to Improve Access to Oral Care Education Among U.S. Hispanics

SAN ANTONIO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Celebrating its 25th Annual Conference this week in San
Antonio, Texas, the Hispanic Dental Association (HDA) is renewing its
commitment with trusted partners Crest® and Oral-B® to together improve
the oral health of the growing U.S. Hispanic population. Details of the
exclusive partnership will be revealed during a reception on Aug. 14
honoring the winners of the HDA’s Orgullo Program, an annual competition
sponsored by Procter and Gamble (P&G) oral care brands.


“Our collaborative work with the Hispanic Dental Association has helped
shed light on many of the challenges1 faced by U.S. Hispanics
when it comes to their oral health,” said Iván Lugo, DMD, MBA and P&G
spokesperson. “We are proud to continue to support the work of Hispanic
oral health professionals across the nation to turn awareness into
action with an emphasis on prevention to help close the oral health gap
that prevails in the community.”

The Friday evening reception, which brings together Hispanic oral health
professionals and students to celebrate the next generation of dental
professionals, will also mark the official unveiling of a new HDA/Crest
stamp to be used exclusively by Crest and Oral-B in materials developed
in conjunction with the HDA over the next two years to promote good oral
health habits.

“Our collaboration with Crest and Oral-B has helped debunk top
misperceptions about Hispanic oral care and educate the community
through the distribution of oral health materials in Spanish to dental
offices, professional schools and associations, ” said David Peña, Jr.,
executive director/CEO, Hispanic Dental Association. “We are thrilled to
expand our partnership to further improve the state of oral health in
the Hispanic community.”
