BELLEVUE, WA – September 6, 2009 – OraHealth Corporation, the world leader in the technology of oral adhering discs, donated over 5,000 CankerMelts® discs to Tegucigalpa, Honduras, where over 53% of the population is living in severe poverty. Through Global Medical Brigades, a Chapter of the University of Washington, OraHealth was able to participate by adding this oral healthcare product to the Medical Brigades’ program that serves some of the most impoverished people of Honduras. “As we produce oral healthcare products for the public, we are also aware that there are people worldwide that do not have access to the most basic needs, including medical care. We want to make a difference in any way possible and we are honored to be working with Global Medical Brigades, who work tirelessly for those in need.” Stated Jeff Haley, the founder of OraHealth Corporation.
CankerMelts is the only all-natural canker sore treatment clinically-proven to relieve canker sore pain, using a patented dissolving time-release disc that allows precise application of natural collagen and licorice root extract directly to the sore.
