Andrea Glaesner Biography
For
more than three decades, Andrea Glaesner, R.D.H. has been an active,
passionate, progressive, and influential force in the field of oral hygiene and
holistic health. As a lecturer, instructor, and dental hygienist, she has
impacted the lives of thousands of children and adults across the Chicago
metropolitan region and beyond.
Andrea was born in and grew up in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin. She received a Certificate in Dental Hygiene from Madison
Area Technical College in 1971 and a BS in secondary education from Marquette
University in 1973. She began her 31-year career as a practicing dental
hygienist in her home town and then moved to Chicago to work as a school
hygienist for the Chicago Board of Health.
It was during Andrea's tenure
at the Chicago Board of Health that she developed her enthusiasm for health
education. Over a six-year period, she visited nearly 500 elementary schools,
presenting dental health motivational programs and providing clinical
assessments for over 300 children per day. She also worked with Head Start
doing dental puppet shows, supervised "brush-ins" for the public, and oversaw
dental programs at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry.
In 2000,
Andrea began production on GUMOLOGYTM, a
revolutionary five-step oral health program presented on video. She completed
the program and began marketing and online sales in 2001. Through explanation,
demonstration, dentist endorsements, and patient testimonials, the 40-minute
video explains the relationship between oral health and overall health and how
permanent damage can be caused by brushing incorrectly.
Andrea's goal
with GUMOLOGYTM is to change the way the
world brushes its teeth. "In my 30 years as a dental hygienist, one of the most
common remarks I have heard from my patients is: 'Nobody ever taught me how to
brush,'" she says. "Indeed, I believe that while the brushing of teeth and gums
might be one of the most basic hygiene regimens, it is the least
understood."
With GUMOLOGYTM, Andrea
has created an innovative, easy, and effective oral hygiene program that
delivers dramatic results within just a few short weeks. The program embodies
her holistic approach, which emphasizes improvement of total mind-body health
while providing healthy teeth and gums for a lifetime.
