For the third annual “Think Pink, Practice Pink” breast cancer awareness program, Henry Schein Inc. has again joined forces with the American Cancer Society. The program aims to raise breast cancer awareness and support a cure for the disease through a selection of “pink” merchandise produced by the company’s participating partner suppliers.

Bergman, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Henry Schein. “We enthusiastically support the important work of the American Cancer Society through our ‘Think Pink, Practice Pink” program, and encourage the participation of our supplier partners and customers in the effort. Through this four-way partnership, we believe we can help raise awareness of this important national health issue and provide concrete support to further American Cancer Society goals.” The Natural Dentist Anticavity Fluoride Rinse wins ADA Seal The American Dental Association (ADA) recently granted its Seal of Acceptance to The Natural Dentist Healthy Teeth Anticavity Fluoride Rinse.
