Oral health company Quip announced that it has acquired telehealth company Toothpic.

According to the press release from Quip, the acquisition is part of its strategy to provide a 360-degree digital app, the Oral Care Companion comprising personal and professional oral care products and services, while guiding and incentivizing good oral health habits. The two companies are said to have a combined user base of over 40 million people – made up of 8.5m Quip users and 36m American consumers via Toothpic’s partnerships with dental insurers.

The acquisition, the press release adds, makes Quip the “first oral care company to connect at-home oral care products with preventative telehealth services and professional dental care”.

In addition, Teledental will offer preventative digital checkups as well as on-demand virtual emergency care to the quip app and ecosystem.

The Oral Care Companion will further provide, track, guide, and incentivize at-home preventative care connected to a network of providers for in-practice care.

Through providing virtual, on-demand access to dental professionals, Quip’s oral care companion offers a singular digital platform where users can track daily oral care habits and monitor their oral health changes over time. Users can also schedule virtual visits to local dental appointments from the comfort of their own home.

The fully integrated service will also allow current quip and Toothpic users access to a free oral care companion app. Besides guiding and rewarding good oral health habits – brushing and attending regular dental checkups – the app helps users manage a comprehensive suite of oral care products and services.

They include: Personal & Professional Care Products (i.e. adult and kids electric toothbrushes, refillable floss pick and string, refillable mouthwash, gum, and professional clear aligner service); Digital Oral Health Monitoring via asynchronous virtual dental professional screenings that analyze photos of users’ mouths; and Direct Connection to Local Dental Professionals & Immediate Care through a digital directory and instant booking.
