"Soaring to New Heights"

That's the theme for the 63rd Annual Session of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry. Are you going? If so, it's time to get packing! The AAPD kicks off this Thursday, May 27, at the Chicago Hilton and continues through the weekend. This year's annual event promises to be the most informative and most exciting session yet.

Practicon's roots grow deep in pediatric dentistry, and it remains a huge part of our culture today. We proudly support the AAPD as an exhibitor, so please stop by and check us out (Booth # 1509 in the NW Exhibit Hall). Ann, Scott, Page, and Will all look forward to seeing you!

Dentapod UV Kills 99.9 % of Germs Using Ultraviolet Light!


How do you instruct your patients to sanitize their retainers and other orthodontic appliances? Most offices tell their patients to simply brush it with their toothbrush or soak it in a cleaning solution. However, toothbrushes are often unsanitary and solutions can be messy and sometimes discolor your appliance.
Practicon, always looking for practical solutions to such problems, has found the ideal solution. We are proud to introduce the Dentapod UV. Using ultraviolet light, the Dentapod UV destroys 99.9% of common bacteria and other microorganisms! It works with most orthodontic appliances, aligners, retainers, whitening trays, mouth guards, night guards, and partial dentures.
Patients simply rinse their retainer or appliance, shake off the excess water, place it in the container, and press the on button. In only 8 minutes, the unit turns off and your appliance is sanitized. Plus, the Dentapod UV is compact enough to use as a storage case and far stronger than regular plastic cases. It will run for about 60 days on 4 AA batteries (batteries are included).
