Thank you for joining the community of dental professionals discovering the joy of dentistry with DryShield! My name is Dr. Lan and I’ve been a prac-
ticing general and pediatric dentist for almost 20 years. I’m also the founder of DryShield, a company specializing in isolation, which was developed
to serve a need that I and many of my colleagues faced - creating a comfortable, all-in-one isolation device that is simple to use, and which fits every
practice.
DryShield combines the tasks of a high-suction evacuator, bite block, tongue shield, cheek retractor, and oral pathway protector in one elegant
device. It was designed with the dentist in mind, offering total control by keeping the working area dry and visible. We made DryShield so you can
focus on what you do best: providing high-quality dentistry for your patients.
Patients love it too - the soft, flexible mouthpieces are designed for maximum comfort and available in multiple sizes to accommodate every mouth,
including children. Patients especially enjoy the shorter procedure times that come from using DryShield.
Installation of the portable DryShield is quick and easy, transforming your practice in seconds. With shorter procedure times, you’ll find you can
schedule more patients in a day and do more with each appointment. Whether you are a practice owner, associate, dental hygienist or
assistant, I know you will love DryShield and the freedom it offers.
From The Founder.
