Easy dental care at home without dental phobia, Smatoos Korea
Dental phobia, It is a phobia that more people fear than you think. It is common to think that being afraid of going to the dentist is a child thing, but trauma, and adults are also afraid of going to the dentist. There are cases where they are extremely reluctant to go. However, teeth require constant maintenance, so an alternative is needed.
Smatoos Korea is a company that manufactures small home appliances that help easy oral care at home, plans to gradually expand its business area Do. We met Son Ho-jeong, CEO of Smatoos Korea, to hear more details.
Please introduce your company.
Smatoos Korea is currently a company that manufactures small home appliances for oral care at home.
I majored in dentistry in the past and worked as an early member of a dental equipment manufacturing startup for 7years. I was able to personally feel the changes in the industry and jump into a new business by acquiring a doctorate degree during the digitalization transition period in the field of dental technology and dentistry. Based on these experiences, Smatoos Korea was established.
Currently, since its establishment, the company has won the Minister of Science and ICT Award, Seoul Mayor Award, Chungcheong Small Business Administration Award, etc. It is a company that has been steadily growing by awarding it. We continue to manufacture oral care equipment and service planning that people need.
Introducing our flagship products
Currently, infants 18must have an oral examination once every month. However, in the case of infants, teeth are weak and prone to tooth decay because teeth are being formed. The progression of tooth decay is also faster than that of adults. It is necessary to ensure that they receive frequent checkups, but children's fear of the dentist is stronger than expected.
However, I think it will be a great help for children who are afraid of the dentist to overcome their fears if they can easily do oral examinations using our equipment and get used to it.
Not only children, but many adults also have a fear of the dentist. The strength of our product is to reduce fear of the dentist and increase convenience by easily checking teeth at home.
What are your future goals
I hope that the company will grow into an oral sensor specialist. Current sensor development is very fast. However, the speed of development of sensors manufactured to fit in the mouth is limited.
The ultimate goal is to become a specialized company that can make these sensors. I believe that there are many fields that can be developed if oral products and sensors are combined.. We want to become a company that contributes to Korea's growth in the oral sensor market.
