Thanks to technology you're already aware that you record 10,000 steps a day and get about three
hours of REM sleep a night. 61 how much data are you collecting about your 62 (tooth)? Probably not enough.
A 2014 study 63 (find) that 30 percent of people are not brushing twice a day. When they do brush, people often do it wrong. Even people who have the right 64 (intend) may not be cleaning as well as they think. What they found was that there was a big gap between consumers' perception of their brushing and reality. Now, here is the new innovation in toothbrush technology — Bluetooth connectivity.
A Bluetooth signal on the brush transmits data via three sensors 65 a smartphone app. As you brush, the app directs you to six regions of your mouth, all of 66 get 20 seconds of brushing over a 2-minute period. The sensors tell the app if you're pushing too hard or too 67(violent). The location sensor also tells you if you reached every spot and brushed it well enough. There's even a children's version of the software __68(call) Playbrush. It doesn't end there. After your 2-minute session, the app signals you 69(brush) again, if necessary. Then it asks if you've flossed, rinsed with a mouthwash and cleaned your tongue. Previously, the only way you'd get such feedback is by 70(visit) the dentist every six months or so, and nobody enjoys that particular trip.
