This Oral Hygiene Device Uses Smart Light Technology to Kill Bacteria

The PhotOral is a truly innovative and novel oral hygiene device, developed with the help of research conducted at the Forsyth Institute, that is designed to make it easier than ever to employ the wonders of smart light and LED technology to get rid of harmful and dangerous bacteria dwelling in your mouth.

The problem with brushing, flossing and mouthwash is that they regularly kill both good bacteria and bad. This is where the PhotOral comes in. By only killing harmful bacteria, the oral hygiene device contributes to overall oral health.

The device itself features a hand-held, mouth guard-like shape and is designed to be inserted into your mouth twice a day for 60 seconds. In that short period of time, it uses smart light technology track, measure and diagnose oral problems, with resulting data capable of being integrated with mobile health apps.

Ultimately, the PhotOral is a great example of how modern technology is revolutionizing oral hygiene and health.
