Attention travelers traveling in Vande Bharat… Now you can check your teeth while sitting in the train.

Have you ever thought that you are on a trip and just one click of your phone will tell you the age of your teeth? It may sound incomprehensible but it is the reality. Now when you travel in Vande Bharat of Indian Railways, just by scanning a QR code you will know how safe your teeth are after all. A campaign has been started by TV9 Network and Sensodyne Helion, whose objective is to improve the oral health of the common people. For this, the most prominent train of Indian Railways, Vande Bharat, has been selected, where during the journey itself you will get a QR code so that you can find out.

Union Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare Anupriya Patel said that your health is your wealth. Many thanks to TV9 and Sensodyne for working together to spread awareness. He said that as soon as common people come to know about dental age, they will take more care of it. People will be able to take better care of their teeth before they get worse. We have seen that people are quite indifferent about oral health. In such a situation, this app will prove to be much better.

What did Barun Das, MD & CEO of TV9 Network say?

Kedar Lele CEO India and President South Asia Helian said that with such a campaign, we hope that in a very short time we will be able to protect the teeth of more and more people. Barun Das, MD & CEO of TV9 Network, said that just as it is difficult to remove the newspaper which we have been reading since childhood, similarly if we talk about Sensodyne, it is also difficult to remove it from our lives. Talking about Sensodai toothpaste, it is on the top of my list. Sensodyne has taught us that a beautiful smile begins where sensitivity ends.

How to know your dental age?

During the journey, first of all you have to scan the QR code. As soon as you scan, a window will open in which you will have to provide some information. For example, first of all you have to upload a photo of your teeth. With that, the report of your teeth will be visible on your phone within just five seconds.

What do the statistics say about oral health?

Kedar Lele told that we have made lakhs of people aware about sensitivity. 9 out of 10 people struggle with oral health. Don't do anything until the pain is beyond limits. People are troubled by sensitivity. One in three has gumcare issues. If we want to move towards a developed India, then preventive health care will have to be adopted as soon as possible.

Why is Dental Age Index important?

Kedra Lele said that you go to the dentist only when things get out of hand. In such a situation, we have tried to ensure that oral health assessment can be done from anywhere. Caution is more important than treatment. As soon as you click, you will be told the condition of your teeth according to your age. If there is any problem then our products will be of great help in it.

Everything is happening with the help of AI

Indian Dental Association Secretary Dr Ashok Dhoble said that all this is being done with the help of Helion and IDA. AI technology is being used in this, due to which all this has become possible. We appreciate this. In the coming times, new experiments are being done by IDA. Clean mouth campaign is also being run in children's schools, so that children's teeth can be saved.
