Needs for proper dental care

According to a survey by the Korean Dental Association, 70 percent of people brush their teeth incorrectly. In addition, research has shown that the biggest problem with improper dental care is that users are unaware of the condition of their teeth and are using the wrong cleaning tools. 

Dentor

To solve the problem, DENTOR consists of “CHECKER”, an intelligent tooth condition checking device, and “CARE”, a dental care kit based on an updated oral examination with the CHECKER. The device can be connected to a mobile app to check the condition of the teeth, such as bad breath, tooth decay and tooth discoloration. The Care unit consists of a bespoke set of dental care aids and is delivered via a subscription service.

CHECKER

The CHECKER from DENTOR is a device that checks the degree of caries, bad breath and discoloration of the teeth in conjunction with a smartphone. When the Q-Ray beam of the CHECKER is shone on the teeth, caries and plaque light up red. The optical sensor can be used to determine the degree of tooth discoloration, and the degree of bad breath can be determined by detecting hydrogen sulfide, the cause of bad breath. 

CHECKER : Checking teeth health with the app

The dental condition diagnosed through CHECKER is stored in the application.

CARE

CARE is a dental care set consisting of toothbrushes, toothpaste, dental floss and intermediate toothbrushes. The components of CARE are delivered once a month through a subscription service, and the composition of the care products varies depending on the dental condition that the user updates through CHECKER. 

CARE :  Customization

If it is confirmed through CHECKER that there is more tartar than normal, a high-intensity brush that is good for removing tartar is provided instead of the soft brush previously used. 

Connected to the doctor

The DENTOR app has divided the categories into three colors so that users can intuitively understand the condition of their teeth. With the help of a diagram, users can see the changes over time at a glance. The dental condition recorded in the app is useful when users make a dental appointment. Based on the location data, the app recommends a nearby dentist who can best solve the user's problems. When the appointment is confirmed, the data about the user's dental condition is sent to the dentist so that he or she can treat the patient more accurately.
