Lunch and Learn w/ Crest- Jestine
I was excited to go to my first lunch and learn on October 25th, 2006. The topic was Crest and Oral B products. Gary Carpenter, who was from Louisville, KY was the guest speaker. His personality keep us entertained throughout the entire session. He started out by showing us pictures of his family which I thought made it very personal and interesting.
I was very appreciative of the free tubes of Pro-Health toothpaste! It was amazing to me that this toothpaste took 6 years to make before being released to the public. With the approval of the ADA it will help reduce tooth decay, gingivitis, plaque, and sensitivity. It also helps whiten the teeth. I am glad that we will get to try it out before we recommend it to our patients.
Another thing I found interesting was the promotion on the Crest Pro-Health rinse. Compared to the sting of Listerine I am a big fan of the Crest rinse. He stated that eventhough this does not have that stinging affect it still works just as well. One thing I felt was a little disturbing was the information about the Whitening Crest Pro-Health rinse. Basically Proctor & Gamble came out with this product because Listerine had one. He confirmed that swishing with this product for the alloted time would NOT whiten teeth!! I guess it is scary how products can claim something, but not actually live up to their claims.
I felt like this was a great way to spend my lunch hour. I really did learn alot about these products and who to recommend them to.
