Oral health has been, and continues to be, an important health issue for the approximately 6.5 million people in the U.S. with intellectual and developmental disabilities who are not able to access the dental care they need.

This October, Samba, the world's first robotic toothbrush created to allow people with disabilities to brush their teeth effectively and independently, is the perfect crossover for both National Dental Hygiene Month and Down Syndrome Awareness Month.

About Samba

Samba is the first toothbrush created explicitly to allow people with disabilities to brush their teeth effectively and independently. Developed over eight years by an Israeli startup and introduced by the Swiss premium oral care brand Curaprox, Samba automates the brushing process and opens the door to a healthier future for millions of people in the U.S. and worldwide.

People with physical and mental disabilities currently have two options when it comes to brushing their teeth – rely on a family member or a caregiver, or brush on their own and compromise their health with subpar cleaning; leaving 88% of them suffering from dental problems. That’s where Samba comes in.  

By eliminating the need to move your hand, Samba grants everyone daily independence to eliminate the health risks associated with inadequate brushing. It is the first toothbrush to combine both low- and high-frequency oscillations in its brushing movement, driving 12,900 soft bristles along the teeth for a superior, effortless clean.  

MSRP: $299​
