ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 22, 2006--The Natural Dentist today announced the addition of a new Senior Vice President of Sales to its corporate landscape. By virtue of increased distribution demands and overall growth, the Company is placing significant emphasis on sales and marketing, as well as product development. The addition of Thomas, who brings more than two decades of proven strategy and execution capabilities, has positioned The Natural Dentist to quickly become the category leader in the natural oral care market.

As the new Senior Vice President of Sales, Thomas has held various positions at industry giants Johnson & Johnson, L'Oreal and Beiersdorf, Inc. Thomas spent 15 years at Johnson & Johnson in various sales capacities for oral care brands.
