Interview With Curaprox Malaysia’s Ashley Leow
Can you give us the scoop on how Malaysians are taking care of their pearly whites these days? What do you think are the main reasons behind why people aren't visiting their dentists as often as they should?
Malaysians are prioritising oral health, recognizing its impact on overall well-being. However, we've observed a trend of people not visiting dentists regularly due to various factors like fear, cost concerns, or lack of awareness about the importance of preventive care.
So, what's the lowdown on oral health trends in Malaysia? Any concerns popping up that Curaprox wants to tackle head-on with its campaigns and products?
In terms of oral health trends in Malaysia, we're seeing a rising concern regarding issues like gum disease and tooth decay, partly due to dietary habits and inadequate oral hygiene practices. Curaprox is dedicated to addressing these concerns through targeted campaigns that emphasise the significance of proper oral care routines and the use of quality products.
Alright, spill the beans—what's the secret recipe for a top-notch oral care routine, straight from the dental pros? Especially for those of us guilty of a little too much enthusiasm with our toothbrushes!
The secret recipe for a top-notch oral care routine involves a balanced approach that includes thorough brushing with the right technique, daily flossing, and regular visits to the dentist. Some of us grew up under the impression of “I should brush harder to get cleaner and whiter teeth” and thus applying too much pressure while brushing. For those enthusiastic brushers, it's essential to remember that gentle, circular motions are more effective than aggressive scrubbing to avoid damaging the enamel and gums.
How does Curaprox plan to get the kiddos on board with good oral habits from the get-go? What cool stuff do you have for the little ones that's safe and effective?
Curaprox understands the importance of nurturing good oral habits from a young age. We want to make brushing teeth for children a fun morning routine rather than a chore. That's why we offer a range of safe and effective products, like our CS Kids toothbrush which has unique characteristics for each coloured brush. Not only that, but it also comes with optional coloured mugs of their choice as well. Curaden Malaysia also has plans to work with child-care centres, kindergartens and primary schools to conduct oral care activities.
What's the deal with Curaprox products? How do they stand out in helping with issues like bleeding gums and making sure we're using them the right way?
Curaprox products are renowned for their innovative design and advanced technology, especially in tackling common dental issues like bleeding gums. The CS 5460 toothbrush, for instance, has 5,460 bristles engineered with ultra-soft materials. These bristles not only ensure thorough cleaning of teeth but also provide a gentle massage to the gums, promoting better oral health.
A standout feature of Curaprox products is their emphasis on proper usage techniques. Users are encouraged to hold the toothbrush like a pen, maintaining a precise 45-degree angle for optimal cleaning efficacy. This technique ensures that every brushing session is efficient in removing plaque and debris while minimising the risk of gum irritation. We also offer comprehensive guidance on the correct usage of their products, empowering consumers to make the most out of their oral care routine.
Talk to us about how Curaprox is shaking things up in local communities. How are you spreading the word about oral health and getting everyone involved?
We believe in the power of community engagement to promote oral health awareness. We have engaged with key opinion leaders to share the awareness towards oral health through various initiatives and collaborations. As for on-ground events, we plan to hold more pop up booths to cater to the local community. Curaprox is actively spreading the word about the importance of oral hygiene and encouraging everyone to prioritise their dental health.
What's Curaprox doing to make life easier for dentists in Malaysia, and how does that translate into wins for us consumers?
We are committed to supporting dentists in Malaysia by providing them with access to cutting-edge products, training, and resources. We believe dentists are responsible for advocating good oral care, and overall the best in improving the quality of life for their patients.Hence with this in mind, we have been focusing a lot on education and systems that showcase the proper way of using our products.
Curaprox conducts education activities at Universities, particularly within the Dental faculty for both postgraduate and undergraduate dental students. Our latest product, the Be You Travel set, allows dental professional’s to offer the flagship CS5460 toothbrush in a compact manner, whilst highlighting to the consumer the convenience and ease of using the travel set whilst on the move. By empowering dental professionals, we ultimately benefit consumers by ensuring they receive high-quality care and guidance.
Considering our unique Malaysian culture, how does Curaprox connect with us on a cultural level to get us hyped about oral care?
Curaprox taps into the vibrant Malaysian culture by weaving its oral care message into the fabric of local customs and traditions. Recognizing Malaysians' love for food and their beautiful warm smiles, we aim to tailor our campaigns to resonate with these values. By celebrating cultural festivals and emphasising the importance of oral health in maintaining beautiful smiles, Curaprox ensures that oral care remains relevant and relatable to Malaysians throughout the year. This cultural connection gets Malaysians hyped about oral care, making it an integral part of their daily routines.
Let's get real—what hurdles does Curaprox face in getting Malaysians jazzed up about oral health, and how do you plan to jump over them?
One of the hurdles we face is overcoming misconceptions and apathy towards oral health. Through education and awareness campaigns, Curaprox aims to debunk myths and inspire Malaysians to take proactive steps towards better oral hygiene.
Looking ahead, what's the grand plan for Curaprox in Malaysia? Any big goals you're itching to share about spreading the word on oral health?
Looking ahead, Curaprox envisions a future where every Malaysian is empowered to embrace a healthier smile. We're dedicated to expanding our reach, fostering partnerships, and implementing impactful initiatives to make this vision a reality, ultimately transforming the landscape of oral health in Malaysia.
