Seriously - this is interesting tech but it seems like a mostly solved problem. Brush your teeth when you wake up, then floss and brush them again before you sleep.

Once it's routine (hopefully established in youth) it seems extremely easy to maintain.

It's evidently not a solved problem- 80% of Americans have had a cavity by their mid thirties. I very much doubt even 5% of them were never told to brush their teeth.

Then on the other hand, a dingle cavity isn't a big deal, and might be enough to scare people into better oral hygiene. It did for me, at least.
