UPPER DUBLINÂ â For Peter Liu, a junior at Upper Dublin High School, a trip to the dentist during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic gave an idea for a business venture.
âThere was something really off-putting about sitting in a dental seat with my mouth open while a bunch of dentists worked on me,â Liu said. âI was a bit concerned about the overall health and safety of the entire situation.â
Liu said he initially did some research last spring, and consulted with a local dentist about the dilemma.
