This past month OraBrite® has been in tradeshow mode. Kyle Roberts and I started the busy season off by traveling to the west coast. We enjoyed San Francisco, where we were able to attend the Aging in America Conference to launch our Assisted Oral Care line. We met a variety of people in all fields of aging services, who were excited to find our AOC products that could benefit their clients. Occupational Therapists, Community Health Directors, Senior Living staff, traveling Dentists, Educators, and Music Therapists were all in attendance and the conversations about our new assistive products generated a lot of buzz at this show! OraBrite's GripEazy Toothbrush Aids were very well received and we were able to showcase how beneficial the handles are for patients with various disabilities. Other OraBrite products of interest were our dry mouth, with xylitol toothpaste and prepasted toothbrush.

Next, Kristin Hays RDH, RDHBS and I were off to Louisville, KY for the National Oral Health Care Conference, the premier meeting for dental public health! Attendees were attracted to our well stocked table display located in the main hall next to the registration desk. We were happy to meet up with one of our influencers, Mary Kelly from Oral Health Connections. She received one of our Assisted Oral Care influencer sample boxes a while back, and is tailoring her presentation around our products. We look forward to hearing back from her on how the presentation goes! The conference finished off with a Dinner and networking event at the Sports & Social Club sponsored by Aseptico. What a great time! Kristin and I were fortunate enough to bowl with Chris & Daryl from Aseptico and we networked with some pretty great people.

The following week we headed back to the West Coast, this time to Seattle for the 30^th annual Special Care in Dentistry Meeting. The conference consisted of Dentist, Hygienist, and other oral health care practitioners concentrating on patients with special needs. This was a good meeting for us because our new line is designed for the specialty dental group. At this meeting we were able to discuss new practices, exchange ideas and network with others who are immersed in the same specialty. Our GripEazy by OraBrite products proved to be very successful amongst this unique market of professionals. We met a multitude of influential people in the industry who really understood our mission and what our products are designed for.

We returned to NY with a refreshed energy and a lot of great new contacts who are eager to learn more about our products. We are ready to head back out in June for the American Dental Health Association Meeting in Columbus, OH and NYSHFA's (New York State Health Facilities Association) Annual Session in Rye Brook, NY.
