MAHWAH, N.J. - Nov. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- (November 21, 2013; Mahwah, NJ).  THE NEXTDDS (www.thenextdds.com) gains a valuable sponsor in ACTEON North America, expanding industry support for this important dental student program.  THE NEXTDDS, which is trending to surpass 10,000 active members this year, welcomes ACTEON and its shared emphasis on dental students’ training and education.  Given its long-standing commitment to dental technology and innovation, ACTEON will be a welcome and important addition to THE NEXTDDS sponsorship consortium.

Sweeney, Chairman of Next Media Group.  "We share ACTEON’s commitment to the practitioners of tomorrow, and know that the organization will support our collective goal of a better and more complete dental education for today’s students."

THE NEXTDDS Program is available to enrolled dental students from their first year through their transition into the post-graduate environment, sharing educational resources (e.g., instructional videos, articles, podcasts, didactic illustrations) that better prepare the students for a career in dentistry.  Additionally, the social networking tools inherent in THE NEXT DDS enable each community member to share these resources virally with his or her classmates.

“ACTEON is proud to join THE NEXT DDS to support the growing need for technology in the field of dental education. The unique platform that THE NEXT DDS avails to dental students will help ACTEON to grow as a company while supporting the need for accessible education, and thirst for knowledge about a variety of topics that we see in today’s dental student.”
