Corporate Health Screenings

By Dr. Howard Krinick-owner Beekman Wall Street Dental

 In today’s busy corporate world, executives as well as the workers in the trenches have trouble finding the proper time to care for their health. Their workdays often start early and end late. Most of the corporate world spends time commuting to and from their workplace and as a result, do not have the time to fit in routine medical and dental checkups to maintain and monitor proper health.

 It is in the best interest of major corporations that their valued workforce stays healthy. In pursuit of this end many corporations employ outside companies to maintain medical personnel (both nurses and physicians) onsite at their corporate offices to act as a primary care facility. These health care professionals’ help their employees monitor their basic health needs, administer flu shots and care for emergency situations.

One of the most valuable services these health departments offer is their Medical and Dental Wellness programs. They bring in local heath care professionals to conduct screenings to try to identify at risk employees for heart disease, dermatological problems, cancer as well as maintaining proper oral health.

Beekman Dental and specifically Dr. Howard Krinick has been involved as an integral part of these programs since the early 90’s. Dr Krinick employs the use of a Dental video camera to examine the employee’s mouths .This camera is the size of a pen and is connected to a flat screen TV and a printer. Utilizing this equipment Dr. Krinick can very accurately screen for any signs of Oral cancer. He is also able to demonstrate in live action video any dental disease such as cavities and periodontal disease in a way that makes it very clear and understandable so that it motivates the employees to then seek care for the conditions identified. They are then provided with a photograph illuminating the identified problems as well as pamphlets containing information on the nature of their problems and a dental care prevention kit.

Beekman Dental utilizes the same video technology in association with digital low radiation x-rays in their office located for 26 years at 19 Beekman street in lower Manhattan. They have strived to provide excellence in service and care for those years and as a result they have been entrusted to be part of the wellness programs of such corporations as Goldman Sachs, Citigroup, Deutsche Bank  ,Discovery Channel as well as many other corporations.
