Expert Article: What Is A Smart Toothbrush? Is It Better Than A Normal Toothbrush?
Brushing your teeth is the most fundamental of all personal hygiene practices. Unarguably, this morning ritual makes your day look all bright, fresh, and confident. Wouldn't it be great to monitor and track how effectively you brush every day? To satiate the technophilic you, brands have come up with the concept of a "smart toothbrush."
What is a smart toothbrush?
A smart toothbrush is basically an electric toothbrush that can provide information about the brush's position and speed as well as feedback on how to maintain better oral hygiene. It can be connected via bluetooth to a smartphone application. The app records and stores all the data from the toothbrush. It comes with various modifications, and many more features are still under development [1][2].
It will alert you if you brush too hard too often. Additionally, if you don't brush your teeth before bed, it is documented, and you get a thumbs down the next morning. Honestly, it's useful and fun!
