Our Story
Our goal at Hygiene Dr. is to make oral hygiene easy and accessible for everyone. As dentists who have had the opportunity to volunteer through dental mission trips in developing countries, it became apparent that some people lack access to the dentist. Local patients would tell stories of their travels, walking countless miles by foot, to wait in hour long lines, with the hopes of securing an appointment with the volunteer dentist that week!
Accessibility to basic oral hygiene supplies is also non-existent in many of these regions, and should be considered a global crisis!
- Did you know that some households share a single toothbrush?
- Did you know that globally 5.1 billion people own a mobile phone while only 4.2 billion people own a toothbrush? – Mobile Marketing Association of Asia
Regular, thorough tooth brushing is very important in preventing tooth decay and gum disease. If tooth decay and gum disease are not addressed, the infection can spread elsewhere in the body with the potential of becoming life-threatening. This is why at Hygiene Dr. we have taken the initiative to donate a pair of toothbrushes for every product sold, with the help of our distribution partner Global Dental Relief!
While many people understand the benefits of brushing their teeth, a commonality is the neglect of flossing between teeth, which is just as important! These areas represent 40% of the tooth surface!
At Hygiene Dr. we intend to help eliminate that barrier with our wireless custom hygiene flosser, offering a 20 second simple & convenient alternative to traditional flossing (traditional flossing still recommended whenever possible).
Our ultimate goal at Hygiene Dr. is to use innovative technology to provide high quality dental products to our customers that we would recommend as dentists.
Sincerely,
The Hygiene Dr. Team
