DentalEZ introduces new scalers
DentalEZ Group announces the availability of the new and improved Titan®SW Plus and Titan K Plus sonic scalers. The new Titan SW Plus (Swivel) and Titan K Plus (Fixed Connection) scalers feature an improved ergonomic handle complemented by a sleek design and finish. The new scalers have been clinically proven to effectively remove hard calculus deposits and stains. Additionally, the comfort of the patient is improved because the portable scalers are air-powered; thus, water spray is controlled. The new scalers come equipped with a versatile line of tips that meet a full range of scaling requirements.
The new scalloped handle, in addition to providing a comfortable feel, eliminates grooves where debris and bacteria are most often harbored, significantly reducing pre-sterilization scrubbing and cleaning preparation time.

Certified translators specializing in the medical and dental fields helped to develop this product, addressing every aspect of the dental visit including post-treatment homecare and specialist referrals. Currently, 11 languages are available; however, we will meet any language need. The language packages are available either as a software program or a laminated book format.

Dental accessory kits boost hygiene home care
Dental Concepts has launched its new OraCare line of three dental instrument kits grouped by major therapeutic needs. Available this fall at drug, grocery, and mass merchandise retailers throughout the United States and Canada, the OraCare line consists of stylish polycarbonate instruments, providing complementary therapies for clean breath, healthy gums, and overall mouth health.
OraCare instruments are similar to the precision instruments used by dental hygienists. The kits were created for people who want to maintain oral health and who know that daily care between regular dental visits is essential. Unlike previous generations that accepted tooth loss as a natural part of aging, Baby Boomers want to know what they can do to keep or restore their oral health.
The largest of the kits, the OraCare Health Mouth Kit (MSRP $5.99), contains the five tools most recommended by dental professionals for daily oral care needs, including a gum stimulator, sulcus brush, sensitive teeth pick, mouth mirror, and tongue scraper.
Other OraCare Kits include the Healthy Gum Kit and the Clean Breath Kit. Both the Healthy Gum and Clean Breath Kits will be available at retail for approximately $4.99. OraCare kits will be available in stores in September.
For more information, call (201) 576-9700 or visit www.dentalconcepts.com.
