As 2021 comes to a close, we look back at the whirlwind year we’ve had and can proudly say that Centrix had a lot of bright spots, success, and triumphs. Definitely fitting for a 50th year celebration we think!
We kicked it into high gear in the early months and launched improvements to our product lines: Champ® Pit and Fissure Sealant and FluoroDose® Fluoride Varnish!
Champ is a bioactive, resin-based hydrophilic sealant that readily penetrates and adapts to the pits and fissures forming a long-lasting, tight, highly durable seal. The same great properties offered in the original LolliPack® Unit-Dose format are now also available in a multi-patient syringe delivery for extremely precise and easily controlled applications.
FluoroDose® has established its quality time and time again by bringing home the title of Top Fluoride Varnish from THE DENTAL ADVISOR six years in a row! (But who’s counting?) FluoroDose contains 5% sodium chloride and Xylitol, swipes on smooth not clumpy, dries in seconds and stays on for 4 to 6 hours for maximum Fluoride uptake; it’s no wonder clinicians love our fluoride varnish! Patients also love the taste and the clear smooth application. This year, we upgraded our packaging to match FluoroDose’s top-of-the-line quality! The new unit-dose LolliTray® has 4 patented custom features engineered to make every fluoride application easier, safer, faster, and more comfortable, for you and your patients.

The Centrix family celebrated these successful product launches and enjoyed each other’s company (albeit still socially distanced) at the Employee Appreciation Picnic at the end of the summer! We were blessed with a beautiful sunny day and shared amazing food, desserts, games, awards and even a water balloon battle. After 18 long months without social gatherings, what a treat it was to see everyone together again!
In the fall, we had more than just the beautiful New England foliage to look forward to because dental tradeshows reopened as live events and we attended in person! The Centrix team proudly showed off our exciting new products, along with our Tried and True products, at the ADA show in Las Vegas and the Greater New York Dental Meeting. We’re now gearing up and looking forward to presenting at Chicago Midwinter in February 2022. Keep track of where you can find the Centrix Team next, right here! We can’t wait to see you all again in 2022!
Ending the year on an even higher note, we’ve added some new faces to the Centrix roster! Rich Sainz joined as a Quality Assurance manager, Sara Vasiliou took on the role of Product Specialist in the Northwest Territory, Randy Dieckman is welcomed as our new Production Manager, Brian Baylor did not miss a beat as he jumped right in as the Senior Data Analyst and IT Liaison, and our Marketing Department got a fresh new face, Patrycja Drozdz, who joined as our first Associate Product Manager. We are so excited to welcome them to our team … stay tuned for blog posts with more complete introductions on each of our newest members and the extensive talents they will contribute to our business!
As we wrap up 2021, we look back and are so very proud of the year we had. We rallied through uncertain times and came out stronger than we could have imagined. We are ready to tackle new challenges, continue to grow, and succeed in Making Dentistry Easier in 2022 for all of you!
