Dutch dentists develop dental first-aid APP – for when you’re on the golf course

From Dental Tribune: UTRECHT, Netherlands: Dutch dentists have launched a dental app for Apple mobile devices that patients can consult for advice when their dentist is not available. The functionality of the app is based on questions about and possible solutions for common dental problems to help the user obtain first-aid instructions. Toothache Pro is a dental application intended to offer professional advice for more than 60 frequent dental problems. It was developed for the iPhone and iPad and has been released in Dutch, English and German. “Working as a dentist myself, I developed the app with a group of colleagues to offer our patients an extra service outside consultation hours. It can be a useful supplement to the clinical inspection by a dentist,” said Dr Dennis Webhofer, initiator of the app.
