The Truthbrush is a small, decorative device that fits easily on any manual or electric toothbrush. It allows you to track all toothbrush events and monitor the duration and coverage. We all know that brushing twice a day for two minutes is essential to your health. Children often brush for a short duration, miss coverage areas, or simply forget to brush at all. You can't be with your kids for every brushing, Truthbrush can. With Truthbrush you can collect all brush event data seamlessly in the background. There is no start or stop button, it passively collects data so that you can view the trends over time. Truthbrush ends the "did you brush" argument and allows you to coach and reward your family for better oral health. According to the World Health Organization, dental care is the most unmet healthcare need in children and adolescents. Poor brushing leads to increased dental visits, cavities, periodontal disease, discolored teeth, and the loss of confidence that you get with a great smile. Studies have shown that bacteria in the mouth is related to heart disease, diabetes, pneumonia, and other serious health issues. Your family's health is the most important thing in your life. Truthbrush makes it possible to keep track of your family's toothbrush behavior and build great healthy habits. The Truthbrush app shows daily toothbrush events and charts them over time. Understanding behavior and trends are critical to building great habits. The app displays the time of brushing, duration, and coverage. Truthbrush knows the difference between brushing teeth, applying toothpaste, and cleaning the brush. The app makes it easy to set goals and rewards, configure alerts and even share the brush event data with your dentist. Your dentist is a key partner in the health of your family. Truthbrush allows your dentist to check-in and helps without waiting for a six-month visit. The app allows you to set the beeping timer on the Truthbrush tracker for two minutes or any duration that you set.
