The Need for Innovation in Dental X-Rays
The concept for the TFM Sensor Holder was created in response to a dental procedure where a patient experienced severe discomfort with the existing X-ray sensor holder. This distress led to tears, highlighting the need for a more patient-friendly solution. The TFM Sensor Holder addresses critical challenges in dental X-rays, such as patient discomfort, the need for retakes, and radiation exposure. It is especially beneficial for patients with dental anxiety, helping them overcome fear and discomfort and encouraging regular dental visits.
The target audience for the TFM Sensor Holder includes
