Is your kid’s toothbrush smart enough to monitor his/her dental health? Are you sure that your kids stick to the 2 minutes mark for complete and all-round oral hygiene? Smart activity trackers that count your calories and monitor your sleep pattern are all rage these days and the field is now expanding to dentistry with Beam Brush – the world’s first Bluetooth-enabled toothbrush that quantifies your kids’ dental hygiene habits. The FDA cleared toothbrush transmits its use via Bluetooth and is connected to a smartphone app that tracks your kids’ brushing strokes, the amount of time they spend brushing, and the quadrant of the mouth they’re working on.
Beam Brush not only includes a sensor that tracks the frequency and time spent during brushing, but it also has a timer that plays the music of your kid’s choice for 2 minutes to maintain the brushing time frame that doctor’s advice for complete oral hygiene.
Through a button present on the brush’s handle, you can sync the data from Beam Brush to an app installed on your smartphone and effortlessly share it with your dentist on every visit. The app will also inform you when it is the right time to change the brush head.
Let’s take a look at the features of this digital brushing tool:
Track’s oral health
Beam Brush displays when and how long has your kid brushed his/her teeth on an app that’s connected to your smartphone. The results are recorded and displayed in a simple, easy-to-read format and can be easily shared with your dentist.
