Philips and Aspen Dental Launch Multi-Year Sonicare-Brand Partnership

---

Royal Philips (NYSE: PHG, AEX: PHIA), a global leader in health technology, today announced a partnership with Aspen Dental, the largest network of branded dental offices, to bring Philips Sonicare—the number one dental professional-recommended sonic toothbrush brand worldwide—to Aspen Dental’s network of over 1,100 locations. Aspen Dental clinicians will now be able to offer Philips Sonicare solutions in-office, including the Philips Sonicare ExpertClean, which uses built-in smart sensors to guide patients in their brushing. Practices will also spotlight the Philips Sonicare Cordless Power Flosser and Philips Sonicare Teeth Whitening Kits, the brand’s latest offerings in power interdental cleaning and at-home teeth whitening. This partnership provides patients with a comprehensive suite of at-home solutions, expanding access to complete oral care.

Philips and Aspen Dental share a mission to empower dental professionals to deliver better care to more people. The Philips Sonicare portfolio of clinically proven power toothbrushes and interdental cleaners offers trusted solutions to help patients achieve a healthy smile between dental visits.

“Our purpose is to improve people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation, and Aspen Dental is the perfect partner to make that vision a reality,” says Matina Vidalis, senior marketing director, consumer & professional oral healthcare, Philips North America. “We’re committed to working with Aspen Dental’s network of dental professionals to introduce our evidence-based solutions to their patients. Together, we can help more people access the quality dental care they need both in and out of the chair.”

Chairside education will also be central to this collaboration, with Philips introducing their new Path to Health Toolset to all Aspen Dental practices. Developed with behavioral scientists and dental professionals, the toolset integrates seamlessly into the dental practice workflow. It is designed to quickly assess a patient’s health goals, drive case acceptance through patient education, and support dental professionals and patients on a path toward improved health.

“Ensuring that Americans have access to quality dental care is a priority for Aspen Dental that extends well beyond a visit to one of our offices,” says Cameron Jones, RDH, BSDH, vice president of hygiene operations at Aspen Dental. “We are proud to offer new solutions from Philips Oral Healthcare to our patients nationwide and pair them with the exceptional care our practitioners provide daily.”
