“I’m a dental hygienist, and I wanted to create an improved instrument for measuring the depth of a tooth’s pockets,” said an InventHelp inventor from Nashville. “So, I invented THE MULTI-COLOR TAYLOR DENTAL PROBE. My design could improve speed, confidence, and accuracy when conducting a comprehensive dental exam.”
The patent-pending invention provides an improved design for a dental probe, offering a more efficient method for measuring the depth of a tooth’s pockets. As a result, it enables the user to more quickly, accurately, and easily assess gum health, saving time and promoting proper patient assessment. The invention features a practical design that is easy to use, making it ideal for dentists and hygienists. Additionally, it allows for faster reading of measurements, potentially improving patient comfort.
The original design was submitted to the Nashville sales office of InventHelp and is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
