Hi, my name is Robin Kline. I
have been a Registered Dental Hygienist since graduating from
Middlesex County College, Edison N. J. in 1994 and a dental
professional since 1989. I am also a Certified Massage Therapist
graduating from The American Institute of Alternative Medicine,
Old Bridge, N. J. in 2001.
I am a single parent raising
two teenage daughters.
I have recently developed a
new product for interproximal cleaning. The website is
www.flosstechproducts.com.
I am employed in the general
practice of my younger brother Dr. Bob Montgomery.He is my
mentor and the person responsible for my love of dentistry.
In October of 2002, I
attended the ADA convention in New Orleans LA, my first trip
there. Our visit to Bourbon Street was an experience I'll
never forget.The atmosphere was very exciting and the
meeting was very informative. I've always been the type to
look for a better way to do things. Since flossing is such
an issue for so many patients, I searched the meeting for as
many different adjuncts to try as I possibly could. For
three days I gathered samples. I really liked the ultra-fine
proxy brushes, but found only three companies(all foreign)
who had the very thin styles. And of these, 2 were
cumbersome to use...changing brush tips and fiddling with
handles.None of these were single-use-disposable. None of
these were available at the local pharmacies either.
When we got back to the
office I tried these small brushes with my patients and they
loved them! They wanted to order them through the office
since they couldn't be found at the local stores so my
doctor began ordering them. The best thing for me was that
these previously non flossing patients were now cleaning in
between with the small proxybrush and their tissues looked
marvelous! No BOP, no deep pockets or moderate calculus.They
told me how good their mouths felt and I could see a
dramatic improvement in their dental health and attitude.
After about 6-8 months
of supplying these small foreign proxy's to our patients we
received a letter from the company saying that they would be
unable to continue supplying us with the proxy's (I think
they were doing some corporate internal reorganizing and
changing distributors) but would let us know if this changes
in the future.
The patients were not happy.
I decided to do something!
I could design a
multi-packed, disposable, ultra thin proxy. I wanted all
patients to benefit, not just the ones in our office. After
several weeks of research I decided to use a product
development company to help me with my idea.
Its taken more than 2 years
and a lot of hard work, but so far all the feedback has been
positive. My patients are happy and healthy and can now get
their thin proxy's and are even getting the hang of ordering
online. Please
visit my website and post your comments. If you would
like a sample, please let me know.
Yours in Dental
Health! Robin Kline RDH CMT FlossTech Products
