The useful part

If you've ever wanted more information about what's going on inside your mouth between dental visits, you're in luck. Now, there's an at-home oral-care system designed to give you exactly that. The oral-care technology company usmile just introduced an at-home AI-assisted toothbrush that lets you learn all the (dirty?) details about your mouth, teeth, and gums.

How it works

The newly released D Series oral-care system includes the D50 OralCam Toothbrush and the companion D-lite OralCam, which works with a user's smartphone camera "to support a fuller visual review" of the mouth.
It also provides feedback, tracks hygiene, and alerts users to potential problem areas.
Unless you're experiencing discomfort, or dentistry happens to be a hobby, you likely don't have much information about your dental health until you're actually sitting in the dentist's chair.
