OraCare. a professional dental rinse, has been named Cellerant Best of Class Hygiene Award winner for a third year running. Even as new technology has emerged, the expert panel of industry leaders and educators agree the chlorhexidine alternative without side effects is a must have for the highest standard of care. The unbiased and rigorous selection process is conducted and managed on a transparent and not-for-profit basis, with panelists precluded from voting in any category where they have consulting relationships.

"To have hygienists backing us not once, not twice, but three years in a row is just outstanding," says Dr. Robert Martino, CEO of OraCare. "We created this rinse over a decade ago with one mission: to give all the benefits of chlorhexidine without any of the side effects, and the impact practices have made with it is just tremendous."

Recommended by dental professionals as an alternative to chlorhexidine and for uses such as everyday care, bad breath, tissue management, and dry mouth, OraCare is used by millions of patients nationwide. The unique two part activated rinse utilizes chlorine dioxide and has the ability to eliminate oral pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, neutralize VSC's and break up biofilm {dental plaque) without side effects. The rinse has also been found to help alleviate oral side effects brought on by chemo and radiation treatment for cancer patients, a relief brought to many patients for free through the company's "Ora Care Cares" program.

Team members will officially accept the 3rd award presented by Cellerant Consulting on Thursday July 20th at ROH UOR in Nashville, Tennessee.
