PITTSBURGH, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- "As a dental hygienist, I wanted to create an improved dental tool that can be used during routine dental cleanings, checkups, and procedures," said an inventor, from Okotoks, AB, Canada, "so I invented the SKM-1. My design enables you to access areas of the patients' teeth that may have been difficult or impossible to reach using conventional teeth cleaning instruments, specifically the lower anterior teeth that are tipped lingually (toward the tongue)."

The patent-pending invention provides a new dental scaler. In doing so, it offers superior cleaning of the anterior lower teeth by dental professionals such as hygienists. As a result, it helps remove plaque and calculus. Thus, it improves dental hygiene. The invention features an effective and efficient design that is easy to use so it is ideal for dental offices. Additionally, a prototype model and technical drawings are available upon request.

The original design was submitted to the Toronto sales office of InventHelp. It is currently available for licensing or sale to manufacturers or marketers.
