Brushing and flossing your teeth is a vital part of your daily routine. Not only will it keep your teeth healthy, but it will also give you an attractive smile. Sadly, there are some people who don't know how to floss and brush properly. Fortunately, modern technology has given birth to useful and informative tools that will make dental care fun and effective. Here's a list of some of the best dental apps and resources:
#1 Brush DJ
Most people find the act of brushing teeth so mundane that they forget one of its important aspects: how long they should be brushing. As any dentist will tell you, you need to brush your teeth for two whole minutes. However, brushing your teeth while timing yourself seems a bit awkward. This led Associate General Dental Practitioner (GDP) Ben Underwood and Appware to develop Brush DJ.
This handy dental app takes music from your device and plays it for two minutes to ensure you're brushing your teeth for the recommended duration. In addition, you can set the app to remind you of your next dental appointment, brush your teeth twice a day, use mouthwash, and floss regularly.
#2 Oral-B app
This dental app takes toothbrushing to another level. Designed for Oral-B electric toothbrushes, this app uses artificial intelligence (AI) to monitor exactly where you're brushing to ensure you cover all areas every time you brush your teeth. There’s also a pressure control that will alert you if you're applying too much pressure while you’re brushing. This will help prevent gum bleeding and gum disease.
#3 Orasphere
Orasphere is an educational app that teaches you about proper oral hygiene and dental care. This app contains a collection of fully narrated videos explaining dental procedures, anatomy, and conditions.
#4 DDS GP
DDS GP is a dental app similar to Orasphere. This app allows your dentist to easily explain a wide array of dental conditions and treatment plans using more than 200 illustrations. With this app, your dentist can create custom treatment plans and send them straight to your email. It also allows your dentist to add their own photos or draw directly on the screen. The DDS GP app is currently available in 13 languages.
#5 American Dental Association (ADA)
If there's anything you ever wanted to know about your teeth and dentistry in general, you can find it all on the ADA website. The site is a treasure trove of dental information, including articles about the latest news about dentistry. In addition, the site also features award-winning publications ADA News, Dental Product Guide, ADA Store, and The Journal of the American Dental Association (JADA).
#6 NYC Dental Implants Center
The NYC Dental Implants Center can provide you with information regarding dental implants. The site shows you different types of implants, including multiple teeth implants, single tooth implants, full mouth implants, front tooth implants, teeth in a day, all-on-four, and teeth in an hour. So if you're looking for a beautiful and healthy smile without the pain, this dental site is for you.
#7 Dentistry IQ
Dentistry IQ is a website containing articles, white papers, and videos that talk about the latest dental equipment, technology, treatment, patient communication, orthodontics, implantology, hygiene therapies, dental insurance, and much more. The information found on this site is ideal for dental professionals looking to push their careers forward.
If you own a growing dental practice, the apps and resources mentioned above will provide you with helpful information that will surely drive your business forward. However, all of that is nothing if you don't have an expert managed IT services provider (MSP) like Pact-One to back you up.
