Helping to Create Smiles all Over the World

It has been such a pleasure to work for Ultradent Products, Inc. and Dr. Dan Fischer for over 12 years.  Not only does the Ultradent family have outstanding Core Values, but most every employee of this fine company has a "passion" for what they do.  The "passion" we all possess comes from the energy created by our leader, Dr. Dan Fischer.

Dr. Fischer is also a very giving man; a real humanitarian.  He definitely shares the wealth with thousands of humans across the world.

I am fortunate to take that passion and knowledge shared by Dr. Fischer into the dental schools to be absorbed by fabulous faculty members and students alike.  Our future dentists are like sponges soaking up all they can to prepare for their future of improving oral health globally.  It is so much fun to see them anticipate the arrival of the Ultradent rep bearing samples of great dental products that they will use on their patients, or even better, the Opalescence they will use to whiten their teeth, or perhaps whiten the smile of a family member.  The dental students and professors always express their appreciation of Dr. Fischer's continued support and generosity.

Not only does Dr. Fischer donate product to promote education, but he also donates to the many dental missions that our dental students and dental professors participate in each year.  Tens of thousands of dollars of preventative and restorative products have been donated to these groups traveling to all parts of the world on humanitarian dental trips.  Just to name a few in my territory...

Dr. Marc Geissberger, Dr. Noelle Santucci, and 40 other doctors and students from University of the Pacific School of Dentistry to Peru

Dr. James O'Meara and students from Creighton University School of Dentistry go to the Dominican Republic

And the list goes on and on, year after year.  I have never heard a no when I ask if we can donate product to these caring groups of dental professionals.  That is such a great feeling, and I personally say "Thank You" Dr. Fischer.

Just think what this world would be like if more people were like Dr. Fischer.  I have been in dentistry my whole adult life...that's a long time.  I have never witnessed such caring, sharing and giving from one man; a great man, a great dentist, a great father, and a great employer.

Thank you Dr. Fischer for every wonderful thing you do, to help so many in need all across this world of ours!  The dental schools thank you as well.  It just doesn't get any better than this.
