Making people healthy and happy with oral care

Oral care and health care mean the same thing.

If we lose our teeth, not only it will affect our eating habits but also make us laugh less frequently, although laughing is important for our health. What is worse, it will make us mentally depressed. We constantly pursue safe and secure oral care products so everyone can have more than 20 teeth of their own until the age of 80.

It is said that good health begins with a healthy mouth, and recently the relationship between periodontal diseases and systemic diseases (diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, etc.) is becoming clear. Oral care is becoming increasingly important.

Utilizing our manufacturing know-how, we have developed an inspection system that can easily quantify periodontal pathogens in a short time, which is used by dental clinics across Japan. We will continue to contribute to realizing a society where people can live in good health with a smile as a comprehensive oral care company providing a range of products from toothbrushes to oral bacteria measurement apparatus.
As we grow older, our food swallowing function declines and we face an increasing risk of aspiration pneumonia, which kills 40,000 people a year in Japan(7th leading cause of death). Aspiration pneumonia is often caused by accidentally swallowing bacteria in the mouth together with saliva, so keeping the mouth clean is much more important than anything else.
