Colgate Fields Largest Multicultural Oral Care Survey In The U.S. Revealing That Diverse Communities Have Strong Sense Of Responsibility Around Improving And Maintaining Optimal Oral Health

August 17, 2016

NEW YORK, Aug. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Colgate today revealed the results from a national oral health care survey¹ of more than 3,000 multicultural Americans, specifically Hispanics, African-Americans, Asian Americans and Native Americans. The survey sourced questions from leading dental associations including the American Dental Association, Hispanic Dental Association, and the National Dental Association, which promotes oral health equity among people of color. Results revealed that diverse communities have a stronger sense of responsibility when addressing oral health issues, reporting more frequent brushing, flossing and mouthwash use than the overall U.S population. In spite of reportedly excellent at-home oral health care, however, multicultural Americans still experience higher rates of overall oral health issues such as cavities, plaque build-up or bleeding gums.

While these groups lead in conscientiousness around oral health and self-reported having “good” and “excellent” oral health, disparities remain in these multicultural communities, which may be due to access to care issues such as language barriers or lack of dental insurance and a lack of information around best practices and habits.

Below are some of the key findings from the Colgate multicultural oral care survey:

On average, 80% of the multicultural Americans report brushing their teeth 2-3 times per day, compared to 75% of the general U.S. population
Nearly two-thirds of all multicultural Americans don’t visit an oral health professional regularly, as recommended, even if they are aware of the recommendation
Most multicultural groups surveyed have experienced at least one oral health problem in the past six months including cavities, yellow or stained teeth, plaque buildup or bleeding gums

According to the survey, most multicultural Americans report that they are taking their oral health more seriously today to avoid problems, all with a common goal to invest more time into the health of their teeth and gums.

“We know that a little information can go quite a long way, particularly in this fast-paced world we all live in,” said Dr. Marsha Butler, Vice President of Global Oral Health and Professional Relations. “Colgate is committed to providing accurate, relevant information to all Americans so that current and future generations can enjoy excellent oral health.”

In an ongoing effort to close the information gap and promote better oral health among all Americans, Colgate not only partners with leading dental organizations, but also shares this message through partnerships with community events, relevant spokespersons and media partners.

One key effort is the Colgate Bright Smiles Bright Futures® program, which brings education and smiles to under-served children in the U.S. and worldwide with nine state-of-the art, mobile dental vans equipped to screen children for common oral health conditions. The dental vans are based in hub-cities and travel to under-served rural and urban communities in the U.S. to help raise awareness about the importance of children’s dental health. With this program, Colgate has reached more than 100 million children in the United States.

This School Year Parents Can Treat Super Lice Fast Without a Prescription

August 17, 2016

MORRISVILLE, N.C., Aug. 16, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Students are heading back into the classroom, which means every family is at risk for the spread of lice, and super lice, in their homes. Vamousse Lice Treatment is clinically proven to kill lice and their eggs in a single treatment¹, and is effective against super lice that have become resistant to two major pesticides – permethrin and pyrethroids. The treatment is available over-the-counter (OTC) without a prescription or physician’s visit, so parents can begin to control lice immediately.

Lori Haapala, RN, BSN, and a school nurse with Kanawha County Schools, helps families with lice infestations. “When a child has contracted head lice at school, the real issue is preventing the spread of it at home amongst siblings and other family members,” said Haapala. “Head lice can be an extremely daunting and frustrating experience for both the parent and child. With vigilance, problems can be detected early-on, diminishing the likelihood of it spreading to the rest of the family and allowing the situation to be resolved faster.”

Unfortunately, lice are an irritating reality of childhood. The CDC estimates as many as 12 million infestations occur each year in the United States and studies have shown that it’s most common among preschool and school-aged children.² Vamousse Lice Treatment enables parents to end an infestation fast with ingredients they can feel good about. Kids will appreciate it too – the mousse is a fun component and smells good. The treatment resolves the situation with the first application – “once and done” and kids are back to focusing on learning, not dealing with the itchy effects of head lice.

“Parents have a treatment option that not only is safe and affordable, but goes to work on both lice and eggs during the same application – providing a quick, reliable experience,” said Jason Schmidt, an entomologist and Director of Product Development for TyraTech, makers of Vamousse. “Vamousse Lice Treatment can help relieve the stress parents often feel when their child is suffering from head lice.”

Vamousse Lice Treatment represents a new generation of head lice solutions. It works differently than traditional OTC products, as the active ingredient, natrum muriaticum, dehydrates the lice without using a pesticide.

To empower parents to remain vigilant with care, beyond conducting daily head checks, Vamousse offers a gentle, non-toxic daily shampoo – Vamousse Lice Defense – that kills lice³ and is recommended for use during high-risk periods, and for 10 to 14 days after potential exposure. Like all Vamousse lice products, Lice Defense is safe enough for use by the entire family, including children as young as two.

Additional information and resources can be found at www.VamousseLice.com.

August 17, 2016

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The San Francisco Deltas announced to fans this morning that Marc Dos Santos will be the club’s first head coach. Dos Santos brings over a decade of coaching experience to the Deltas, having developed players at both the professional and amateur levels in the US, Canada, Brazil, Portugal and Mozambique.

“Marc’s track record of success and experience developing players with a winning mentality is initially what motivated us to reach out to him,” CEO of SF Deltas, Brian Andrés Helmick said. “However, after spending time with him and his wife Marie, it became abundantly clear that his values overlap perfectly with ours. He is a risk taker and is open to innovation; he values honesty and transparency; and despite all of his success, he has remained truly humble and kind. We feel incredibly fortunate to welcome Marc and his family to San Francisco.”

Dos Santos joins the Deltas from his head coaching role at the Swope Park Rangers of Kansas City. Dos Santos formerly served as head coach for the Ottawa Fury’s inaugural season in 2014 and led them to the Championship Final in 2015 where he was named Coach of the Year.

“I am honored to be named the head coach of the Deltas,” said Marc Dos Santos. “I’ve been in clubs all over the world and I believe this is different. I believe we’re going to be able to bring players that want to be part of the city, part of the organization. I believe the team that is behind this has a new way of thinking, so this makes me believe big time that this is going to be a successful story.”

Dos Santos began his career in Portugal and Mozambique. In 2007, he was hired by his hometown team, the Montreal Impact, to lead the club’s reserve team, Trois-Rivieres Attak FC. Under his leadership, the team won the 2007 Open Canada Cup and became 2008 CSL National Division champions, which led to him to being named the Impact’s assistant coach and then their head coach. With Dos Santos, the Montreal Impact won the Canadian Championship in 2008, reached the Quarterfinals in the 2008-09 CONCACAF Champions League, and won the USL First Division title in 2009. His appetite for new challenges led him to move to Brazil in 2012 and coach FC Primeira Camisa (U-20’s) and SE Palmeiras (U-15’s), culminating with a Copa do Brasil U-15 championship and then a head coaching position with Desportivo Brasil. He then returned to Canada in 2013 as the head coach of the Ottawa Fury.

A dual citizen of Canada and Portugal, Dos Santos holds a UEFA “A” coaching license and is fluent in four languages (English, French, Spanish and Portuguese). He and his wife Marie have three children.

Dos Santos will remain with the Rangers through the end of the season. He will officially join the Deltas in October. The SF Deltas expect to hold tryouts in November. The first pre-season game will take place in February 2017 against the San Jose Earthquakes.

Rafael Amaya (El Señor de los Cielos) is without a doubt one of the best-known actors in television today, with a career that includes starring roles in successful TELEMUNDO original productions, theater, English and Spanish-language movies, and European television series. The leading man, who has also served as co-host of “The Billboard Mexican Music Awards,” “The Billboard Latin Music Awards,” and the first-ever broadcast of “Premios Tu Mundo,” starred earlier this year in the fourth season of the Super Series “El Señor de los Cielos”. The Mexican actor achieved crossover success in the Hallmark TV film “Meddling Mom,” the third-highest audience-rated production in the network’s history. Rafael has also diversified beyond acting, producing his first movie, “Paco & Santo vs. América” in 2009 and recently launching his first clothing line, Rafael Amaya Western Style.

Internationally-acclaimed Mexican star Aracely Arámbula has an artistic career that spans more than 15 years as an actress, host and singer. She has starred in dozens of highly-rated novelas in Mexico and around the world, such as “Acapulco, Cuerpo y Alma” “Cañaveral de Pasiones” “Pueblo Chico Infierno Grande” “El Alma no tiene Color” and “Soñadoras.” She had her first leading antagonist role on “Rencor Apasionado” in 1998 and two years later she played her first leading role in “Abrázame muy Fuerte”. This project, where she also interpreted the theme song “Niña y mujer” (Girl and Woman), consolidated her as an actress and singer. Following this role, which led her to a TV y Novelas Award nomination, Arámbula launched her first album “Solo Tuya” in 2002, ranking on the Billboard Latin Music Albums chart. In 2005, after her participation in “Las Vías del Amor,” where she also interpreted one of the theme songs, Arámbula launched her second album “Sexy,” produced by Abraham Quintanilla III. Arámbula will soon star in TELEMUNDO’s upcoming “La Doña” in the role of Altagracia, an elegant, beautiful and successful woman who runs a construction empire, and whose series of major traumas early in life made her the implacable “Doña” she is today.

The lovely and talented actress Fernanda Castillo returned to TELEMUNDO’s screen in the fourth season of Super Series “El Señor de los Cielos” in the role of Mónica Robles. Before joining the network, Fernanda appeared in a number of successful television productions in her native Mexico and the United States, including “Clap,” “La Fea Más Bella,” “Destilando Amor,” “Teresa” and “Amor Bravio.” Fernanda’s artistic career also includes roles in theater in such plays as “Wake Up Woman” “Cabaret,” “Hoy No Me Puedo Levantar” and “Los Monólogos de la Vagina.” On the big screen she has appeared in “Déficit” and “Corazón Marchito” and will soon star in “No Manches Friday” which hits theaters on Friday, Sept. 2.

TV Host, actor, and director David Chocarro began his artistic career in his native Argentina, participating in novelas like “Floricienta,” “Angels,” “MyLove,” “Sos Mi Vida,” and “Mal Parida” and several plays including “Casi un Cuento” and “Bichitos.” His role in “Los Exitosos Pérez” propelled him to international audiences. Chocarro joined TELEMUNDO in 2012 with a leading role in “El Rostro de La Venganza.” He then starred in “En Otra Piel,” and was a participant in the reality show series “Top Chef Estrellas, where he beat all other contestants to raise money for the foundation of SOS villages in Honduras. As a director he has overseen many plays and short films. He returns to TELEMUNDO with a leading role in “La Doña,” starring as Saul, an attorney who defends the victims of gender violence and all young women fighting for a way out of unemployment, poverty and overpopulation.

Carlos Ponce, who will also perform at the event, is an internationally recognized Puerto Rican actor, singer-songwriter and host.
