Sunstar GUM® Partners with Dentistry.One to Bring AI Oral Health Scans to Consumers and Patients Nationwide
New partnership offers AI-powered dental scans and 24/7 access to virtual care.
METUCHEN, N.J. and Schaumburg, IL. – July 15, 2025 – Sunstar Americas, Inc., a global oral health leader behind the GUM® brand, and Dentistry.One, a virtual-first dental care solution introduced by MouthWatch, Inc., have announced a new partnership called GUM™ Virtual Care. This new offering provides consumers across the United States with a platform to access AI-powered oral health scans and 24/7 virtual dental care.
Through this partnership, patients and consumers can use their smartphone to access SmileScan™, Dentistry.One’s AI-powered dental screening tool. Access is available by scanning a QR code received during a dental visit or included with the purchase of select GUM® products. In less than a minute, SmileScan™ analyzes user-submitted photos and delivers a report flagging potential signs of common dental concerns, such as plaque, inflammation, and crowding. Users are then guided to personalized next steps—including the option to schedule a live or asynchronous consultation with a licensed dentist or get connected to a local dentist.
“This partnership reflects our commitment to advancing whole body health through healthy oral care routines,” said Matt Maurer, General Manager, Sunstar Americas, Inc. “By connecting GUM® products with virtual oral care options, we’re empowering patients to take control of their oral health between dental visits, supporting prevention, early action, and better overall wellness. It’s one more way we’re fulfilling our mission to help people everywhere lead healthier, better lives.”
In addition to SmileScan™, GUM® customers will have access to Dentistry.One’s full suite of virtual dental care services, including live video consultations, asynchronous photo reviews, personalized oral health coaching, and care coordination for in-person care. These services are designed to complement – not replace – routine preventive care dental visits.
“Our partnership with Sunstar enhances what’s possible in at-home oral care by pairing trusted GUM® products with seamless access to a nationwide network of dentists and services that make getting dental care easier than ever before,” said Brant Herman, Founder and CEO of MouthWatch and Dentistry.One. “Together, we’re expanding access, driving innovation, and helping more people build habits that lead to better oral and overall health.”
This collaboration reflects a shared belief that oral care should be proactive, accessible, and connected to overall wellness. By turning daily routines into opportunities for early detection and expert guidance, the partnership empowers people to take meaningful steps toward better health starting right at home.
