Just Answer Questions on LINE! "Plus Alpha Diagnosis" for Children's Oral Care Tips Launched on April 28
Oral Care Inc. (Headquarters: Arakawa-ku, Tokyo; President: Takuya Otake) will begin offering "Plus Alpha Diagnosis," a diagnostic content that provides tips for children's oral care, starting on Tuesday, April 28, 2026. The diagnosis is simple: just answer 2-3 questions on LINE. The content provides "plus alpha information" to help protect children's oral health. We are delivering this as an opportunity for parents and children to think about oral health together, ahead of Children's Day.
## Cavities have decreased, but is the "power to protect oneself" growing?
In recent years, the number of children experiencing cavities has been on a downward trend, partly due to the widespread use of fluoride. However, a comparison of the percentage of 12- and 17-year-olds with cavities in the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's School Health Statistics Survey shows a 1.6-fold difference. This indicates that junior and senior high school students, in particular, are in a period where their "cavity risk increases rapidly" due to changes in their living environment.
On the other hand, many children continue to care for their teeth out of a sense of obligation, thinking, "I have to brush my teeth." In addition to knowing the necessity of tooth brushing, a new perspective and approach are needed to foster the habit of protecting one's own mouth and the desire to "want to do it" oneself.
As a place for practical application, Oral Care Inc. established "Preventative Lab TANOSHI," a learning center for children. Here, we have continued our efforts to draw out children's desire to "try it," fostering proactive preventive behavior and the mindset of protecting their own teeth.
## Diagnostic content developed by picking up parents' voices
Through these activities, we often heard parents saying, "I want to do something for my child."
However, the reality was that many parents didn't know exactly what to do and, despite being concerned, couldn't find the time in their busy daily lives.
"Plus Alpha Diagnosis" was born out of these voices.
"Plus Alpha Diagnosis" is a diagnostic content that provides tips on children's oral care by simply answering 2-3 questions on LINE. For example, it suggests "small plus alpha" actions that don't require major changes to existing care, such as:
- Adding a small item to their usual tooth brushing routine
- Trying out specific phrases when talking to their child
Why not try the diagnosis right away and check out the "Plus Alpha Information" to protect your child's oral health?
How to diagnose:
1. Add "Oral Care Official Support" LINE as a friend.
