The New Samba Toothbrush
Patients are looking for efficient products that get them high quality end results in less time. Luckily, we are now entering an exciting age of machine assistance to aid us in improving overall health. We are seeing these innovations in oral health too with a new robotic toothbrush called the SAMBA, from Curden US, is now helping patients remove more biofilm with its technology in a shorter amount of time, that is a win, win.
With a small-headed traditional toothbrush it is very easy to miss hard to reach areas in the mouth. It is a tedious task for many patients to individually brush each tooth. For a healthy and capable patient it is doable, but once you get a patient who has physical or mental limitations, adequate plaque removal becomes extremely difficult. That’s where the SAMBA can aid them, it is as easy as placing and holding the toothbrush in place while the engineered robotics do all the work for them. Once charged it is mobile so it can be used anywhere, many patients even use it in the shower as it is also fully waterproof.
I encourage patients who are doing well with traditional brushing to continue to do so. However, patients with a full adult detention who present with gingivitis or periodontitis from inadequate biofilm removal I recommend that they get support through the SAMBA. The most recent National Health and Nutrition Survey shows that 4 in 10 US adults 30 years or older had some form of periodontitis and it is present in those over 30 at a rate of 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women1. With this data we need patients to be doing better self care between visits at home or these rates of disease will continue. The SAMBA makes it very motivating for patients to invest in their oral health.
