What a camera‑enabled toothbrush actually does
A toothbrush with a camera lets you see inside your mouth while you brush. The built‑in lens sends live video to your phone, helping you spot:
- plaque you’ve missed
- early gum inflammation
- bleeding areas
- tartar buildup
- food trapped between teeth
It’s designed to make brushing more accurate and give you a clearer picture of your oral health.
How the technology works
1. Built‑in micro‑camera
Located near the bristles, capturing close‑up images of teeth and gums.
2. Real‑time video streaming
Connects to your phone via Bluetooth or Wi‑Fi.
3. Smart lighting
LED lights illuminate hard‑to‑see areas.
4. AI‑powered analysis (in some models)
Highlights plaque, gum redness or missed spots.
5. Progress tracking
Shows brushing coverage and improvements over time.
