Dentistry.One has announced a new artificial intelligence (AI)–powered tool for smartphones that will allow users to keep track of oral health in between dental office visits. The platform touts simplicity–users will take 5 images of their teeth and mouth using a smartphone camera to start. This AI technology, developed by Toothlens, Inc, observes images taken inside the user’s mouth to provide a robust report score. This score aims to help users prioritize which key areas of their mouth they need to focus on, according to a press release from Dentistry.One.
After scanning and receiving their report, users can then be guided to a virtual consultation where they can receive personalized advice from a verified Dentistry.One dentist.
“SmileScan is a breakthrough in empowering individuals to take control of their oral health,” Senior Director of Clinical Operations at Dentistry.One, Sharity Ludwig said in the press release. “Using SmileScan, users can get instant, easy-to-understand insights about their dental health, so they can check-in on their oral health without having to wait until their next dental appointment.”
Using just a smartphone, users can take charge of their oral health journey in a convenient, safe, and effective way, according to Dentistry.One and MouthWatch Founder and CEO, Brant Herman.
“SmileScan represents more than just a convenience–it’s a tool that makes dental insights and attention to oral health easier and more convenient for everyone,” Herman said in the press release. “We see it as a stepping stone that reduces barriers and gets people excited about staying healthy and engaged with their home care and regular preventive dental visits. By empowering individuals with AI-driven insights and connecting them to care when needed, we’re fostering a proactive approach to better oral health. This is particularly crucial for those managing conditions where oral health is linked to overall well-being, such as diabetes, heart disease, and autoimmune disorders.”
