Using Novel Technology to Facilitate Oral Health and Hygiene Habits for People with IDD
Across Tennessee and the U.S., individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) continue to face significant—and often preventable—oral health disparities. This pilot study, conducted by Harmony Health and the American Institute of Dental Public Health, explored the feasibility and early impact of integrating two digital oral health technologies, the Oral Genome™ salivary point-of-care kit and the TruthBrush™ smart toothbrush attachment, across IDD populations in Tennessee.
