Aseptico, a dental supply company, has become a sponsor of SmileTree and Climb for a Cause.

Aseptico not only adopted three oral health and treatment projects, the company is sending a representative, Chris Berry, to the annual hiking event. In 2012, participants in the annual event will hike the Zion Narrows, a 16-mile trek through the Virgin River bed. The hike will be a 12- to 14-hour experience.

“When we were contacted at a dental convention by Danny Bobrow, I saw this as a perfect opportunity to fulfill Aseptico's desire to help,” said Chris Berry.

"The creativity of using climbing as a fund-raising tool for dental missions was especially appealing to me. I am an avid outdoor enthusiast and have always wondered if there was a viable way to give back while enjoying nature; I believe I have found that way.

SmileTree clinics provide children with oral health education, an exam, and treatments. Clinics are held in the same location at least every two years to help ensure continuous care. In 2012, SmileTree hopes to increase the number of clinics adopted by branch offices to 50. The added branch offices will enable the company to deliver approximately an additional $250,000 in equivalent care.

Daniel A. "Danny" Bobrow, SmileTree executive director, said: “We are delighted to have Aseptico join our growing network of branch offices. Their support is essential to what we do.”

Aseptico has searched for a way to give back to the community locally and internationally. Being a part of the portable dental world gives them a stance to help those who do not have dental treatment readily available.

Starting two years ago, CEO Glenn Kazen implemented a 20% discount on items purchased for mission trips, nonprofits, and volunteers. The company hopes to use the niche market and discounting to encourage outreach programs. But Aspetico wanted to do more.

Manager of domestic sales, Jeff Baxter, has directed a redesign of the website to create a way for doctors visiting Aseptico’s site to give back when they cannot participate in volunteer programs. This aligns with the SmileTree and Climb for a Cause programs.
