Healthtech company Minish Technology today released the Minish Report, which analyzes the tooth perception of women aged 25 to 39.
The report is based on a combination of surveys, clinical case analysis, expert columns, and patient interviews. The survey was conducted on September 10-11 via TillianPro among 1,000 women aged 25-39 in Korea, with a single response for dental satisfaction and multiple responses for other questions. According to the report, seven out of 10 respondents (70.3%) said they have engaged in negative behavior because of their teeth. The most common behavior was covering their mouth with their hand when smiling or speaking (35.5%), followed by taking photos or videos with an expressionless face (21.5%) and feeling embarrassed about being judged on their appearance (20.9%). Functional reasons such as pain (12.8%) and pronunciation issues (7.4%) were less common. In terms of satisfaction with their teeth, 39.4% were dissatisfied, 32.3% were satisfied, and 28.3% were satisfied. In the report, Dr. Yoon Pil-sang, director of Minish Dental Hospital, shared a treatment case of a woman in her 30s who developed senile facial hair due to tooth wear.
