Colgate and Philips Sonicare continue to receive positive accolades from dental hygiene communities across the country on their Wellness Connection Symposia. In an ongoing collaboration with local dental hygiene associations, Colgate and Sonicare offer all-day CE events with top speakers such as Betsy Reynolds and Ann Eshenauer Spolarich. Each invitation-only event draws 175 dental hygienists for five hours of scientific and direct clinical application continuing education at a nominal fee, including a lavish breakfast and lunch. The Wellness Connection Symposia are consistently held at some of the most beautiful venues in the country.

Sonicare and Colgate have been hosting these symposia together since 2006, offering excellent CE programs in the following locations: New York, Dallas, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Orlando, Chicago, San Diego, Washington DC, and Cleveland. Most recently, the event drew 180 dental hygienists in Portland, Ore., on Feb 13.
