Abstract
This paper proposes a novel approach to oral health monitoring through the development of a smart toothbrush equipped with a camera, pH sensor, and temperature sensor. The integration of these sensors allows for real-time monitoring and early detection of potential oral health issues such as cavities, gum disease, pyorrhea and enamel erosion. The camera provides visual data for assessing plaque buildup and other visible signs of oral health problems, while the pH sensor detects changes in acidity levels associated with bacterial growth. Additionally, the temperature sensor can indicate inflammation or infection within the oral cavity and detects temperature of the body, by this we do not need another thermometer. To promote consistent dental hygiene practices, the device also offers real-time feedback during brushing sessions, detects regions that were neglected, and has motivating elements. Users may be able to decrease the need for extensive dental procedures and enhance oral health results by incorporating this technology into their regular activities. By leveraging these advanced sensing capabilities, the smart toothbrush offers users a proactive tool for maintaining optimal oral hygiene and preventing serious dental issues. This technology has the potential to revolutionize home dental care by empowering individuals to take proactive measures towards their oral health.
Keywords: Smart toothbrush, pH sensors, temperature sensor, camera, display, early detection, optical fiber.
