Maintaining good dental health just got easier for UAE residents, thanks to a groundbreaking AI-powered tool that delivers instant assessments via WhatsApp. In under two minutes, users can now receive a preliminary dental health report by answering a few simple questions and uploading three photos of their teeth, upper, lower, and front views.
This innovative solution, Smyl AI, developed by Aster Clinics in partnership with Logy.AI, provides free, real-time analysis of potential oral health issues like cavities, gum disease, plaque buildup, and tooth discoloration. As the first AI dental bot in the UAE, it represents a significant step toward making preventive care more accessible and convenient.
Part of Aster Clinics’ Smarter Smiles initiative, the tool aims to encourage early detection and proactive dental care. Dr. Sherbaz Bichu, CEO of Aster Hospitals and Clinics for the UAE, Oman, and Bahrain, emphasized the importance of integrating technology into healthcare. “AI is transforming medical outcomes across specialties, yet many still avoid dental visits due to fear or inconvenience,” he noted. “Smyl AI bridges this gap by offering accurate, user-friendly screenings while maintaining the highest standards of care.”
Recent surveys paint a concerning picture of oral health in the UAE, with 80% of residents affected by cavities and only 20% scheduling regular dental checkups. Many delay visits until they experience pain, underscoring the urgent need for accessible screening tools.
Using Smyl AI is straightforward: users simply message “Hi Aster Clinics” via WhatsApp, select their preferred language, and upload the required images. The system generates a detailed report at no cost and even facilitates appointments with Aster’s network of 30+ dental specialists.
Privacy is a top priority, with all data protected under UAE healthcare regulations. The platform employs encryption and stores information only with explicit user consent, ensuring confidentiality throughout the process.
By combining cutting-edge technology with expert care, Aster Clinics is setting a new standard for convenient, tech-driven dental health solutions, helping residents stay on top of their oral hygiene with minimal effort.
