LIVINGSTON, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Milestone Scientific Inc. (OTC BB: MLSS), the recognized leader in advanced, computer-controlled injection technologies, has signed an agreement, through a distributor, to provide Towncare Dental Partnership, Inc. with STA Single Tooth Anesthesia System® instruments. The agreement covers all of Towncare’s dental offices in Florida. The instruments will be rolled out to Towncare’s offices over the next four months, and Milestone will provide training and support to each office.
Leonard Osser, Chief Executive Officer of Milestone Scientific said, “This agreement with Towncare is a significant milestone for our company, marking what we expect to be the first of several agreements with regional and national dental practices throughout the United States. Our ability to penetrate this market was made possible not only by the high-quality of our instruments, but also from the implementation of our new strategic business model. This sales strategy involves deploying a professionally trained group of independent hygienists whose objective is to educate our dental customers about our instruments, and also provide them unsurpassed service.”
He continued, “Having recently initiated our dental hygienist program, we are already quite enthused about its results. Our hygienists, who are located in key markets throughout the United States, assist our distributors in their respective territories, and provide added support by attending trade shows and networking with other dental professionals, with the end goal of increasing sales of our Single Tooth Anesthesia instruments. Our hygienists dramatically increase our reach and depth, providing us with a wide-spread, technically trained group of professionals, and with a strong competitive advantage. We are very pleased to be able to assist Towncare Dental in its objective to offer its patients an unparalleled commitment to their total oral health care.”
Glory Kirstein, Vice President of Towncare said, “Following our initial testing of the STA Single Tooth Anesthesia System in one of our key offices, we are excited about offering Milestone’s technology to our patients in all of our offices in Florida. This painless technology was extremely well-received by our patients, and was also easily administered by our dentists. We have high expectations for the Single Tooth Anesthesia instruments, and believe it will be a differentiator and contribute to the growth of our practice throughout south and central Florida.”
