Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: DentalSpeak at every 3 days against Tooth Sleuth's every 3 weeks. Tooth Sleuth's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (20 vs 3). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
