IPhone App Toothpict Launches To Prevent Food Stuck In Teeth

Online, July 18, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Ever worry you've got something stuck in your teeth? Ever find something in your teeth and wonder how many people noticed it during the day? Embarrassing, right?

Enter Toothpict - a new iPhone app that allows you to notify a friend with a detailed map of where they've got food stuck in their teeth before it lingers there embarrassingly all day long. It's a simple and playful solution to the awkwardness caused by teeth that haven't yet learned to auto-floss themselves.

Entrepreneurs and avid eaters of food prone to getting stuck in teeth, (eg. corn on the cob, spinach, mango, popcorn, bbq) Scotty Allen and Jeremy Van Fleet took on the challenge of creating an iPhone app to help keep the world's smiles free of food-stuck-in-teeth. Built using their collective superpowers, the Toothpict app emerged less than a month later. After its launch in early July and just a short time in the app store, Toothpict is surging in downloads and has already been highlighted in a variety of online publications in the US, Japan, Brazil and a number of other countries. The founders joke, "Any culture with food and teeth is a good fit for Toothpict."

With the formidable goal of eliminating global food-stuck-in-teeth awkwardness, the Toothpict team created a complex algorithm using 7 billion people in the world, an average of 2.5 meals per day, 46% of food capable of getting stuck, and a global average of 130 friends on facebook and twitter to determine that the world will need everyone, including YOU, to share Toothpict with 44 people and get 14 iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad users to download and use Toothpict.

Toothpict is available in the iTunes App Store for free. As Urban Daddy so eloquently wrote, "[using Toothpict] is classier than just reaching over and digging it out for them."
