The Origins of BrushO: Smart Toothbrushes, DePIN, Brush And Earn

Oral health is becoming a significant concern worldwide, with many people struggling with dental issues due to a lack of effective preventive and care measures. In response, the BrushO team is dedicated to improving oral health for everyone. With over 20 years of experience in designing and manufacturing toothbrushes and other smart hardware, BrushO initiated the FSB fully smart toothbrush project in 2021. By 2022, the first smart toothbrush model, FSB100, had completed testing and mass production. In 2023, the trial version of the smart toothbrush, model FSB200, earned certifications from IPX7, CE, RoHS, FCC, SGS, and the FDA (Test Report).

Studies show that electric toothbrush users have 21% less plaque and 11% less gingivitis compared to manual toothbrush users, with a 62% decrease in the frequency of gingivitis and gum bleeding. BrushO’s smart toothbrushes outperform even electric toothbrushes in cleaning ability and brushing experience. Our unique AI Brush (FSB-Full Smart Brushing) technology monitors users’ brushing behavior in real-time, helping them develop good brushing habits and acting as a personal oral health guardian. We believe that BrushO smart toothbrushes make oral care more efficient and professional.

However, the challenge lies in promoting BrushO smart toothbrushes globally, from markets like Europe and North America, where smart electric toothbrushes are widely accepted, to regions like Southeast Asia, where their adoption is low.

Why DePIN?

In 2023, the concept of DePIN (Decentralized Physical Infrastructure) emerged, with successful projects like Helium, Hivemapper, and Dimo inspiring us. We realized that creating a user-driven decentralized ecosystem — BrushO Network — could solve our challenges.

First, it lowers the barrier for user participation. Our market research indicates that price is a significant factor for users choosing a toothbrush. With BrushO Network, users can earn money through healthy brushing habits and contributions to the oral health industry, making purchasing and using BrushO smart toothbrushes both a health and a financial investment.

Secondly, the lack of oral health data in the industry severely hampers its development. While companies like Philips and Oral-B might gather some user data through their products, this data is incomplete, and there are customer concerns about excessive data collection. People are unsure which of their data is being collected and worry about potential misuse or leaks from centralized servers. The only certainty is that the value generated by their private data does not benefit the data contributors. BrushO Network uses data encryption and blockchain technology to give users ownership and control over their data, ensuring privacy while turning data into monetizable digital assets. Industries like daily chemicals, beauty, insurance, and healthcare can access high-quality, real, and compliant oral health data through BrushO Network, accelerating product development, reducing costs, and launching more competitive products. We believe that BrushO Network will transform the industry, elevating global oral health standards.

Lastly, the network effect of DePIN is remarkable. Projects like Helium, Hivemapper, and Dimo have achieved in months what traditional companies take years or even decades to accomplish, with minimal marketing costs. DePIN will accelerate the development of BrushO Network, a topic we will explore in detail in future articles.

Why “Brush and Earn”?

Unlike typical DePIN projects emphasizing the ‘Earn’ aspect, like Move to Earn or Drive to Earn, BrushO introduces Brush and Earn. Brushing teeth is a daily necessity, and the primary goal of encouraging the use of BrushO smart toothbrushes is to maintain oral health, free from pain, cavities, periodontitis, and tooth loss. Earning is a bonus, not the main objective. BrushO Network aims to enable users to earn passive income while performing their daily oral care without extra time, effort, or expensive additional equipment. This is crucial for promoting global oral health equity.

BrushO’s mission is to make every brushing session valuable and meaningful. Users of BrushO smart toothbrushes will experience better brushing results, gain insights into their oral health, and receive professional care advice. The Brush and Earn model helps users develop good oral health habits while earning rewards, enhancing global oral health standards. We aspire to create a global oral health ecosystem where everyone can contribute and benefit, with user participation being key.

Weekly brushing trends can reveal missed molar habits

Weekly brushing trends can reveal missed molar habits

Missed molars often do not show up as a single obvious bad session. They appear as a repeated weekly pattern of shortened posterior coverage, rushed transitions, or one-sided neglect. Weekly trend review makes those back-tooth habits visible early enough to fix calmly.

Sparkling water at night can prolong acid contact

Sparkling water at night can prolong acid contact

Sparkling water can look harmless at night because it has no sugar, but the fizz and acidity can keep teeth in a lower-pH environment longer when saliva is already slowing down. The practical issue is timing, frequency, and what else happens before bed.

Sore throats can lead to rougher tongue coating

Sore throats can lead to rougher tongue coating

A sore throat often changes how people swallow, breathe, hydrate, and clean the mouth, and those shifts can leave the tongue feeling rougher and more coated. The coating is usually a sign that saliva flow, debris clearance, and daily cleaning have become less efficient.

Seed shells can lodge under swollen gum edges

Seed shells can lodge under swollen gum edges

Tiny seed shells can slide into irritated gum margins and stay there longer than people expect, especially when the tissue is already puffy. The discomfort often looks mysterious at first, but the pattern is usually very local and very mechanical.

Root surfaces lose enamel from the very start

Root surfaces lose enamel from the very start

Root surfaces never begin with enamel. They are protected by cementum, which is softer and more vulnerable when gum recession exposes it to brushing pressure, dryness, and acid. That material difference explains why exposed roots can feel sensitive and wear faster.

Morning mints can mask a low saliva problem

Morning mints can mask a low saliva problem

Morning mints can cover dry breath for a few minutes, but they do not fix the low saliva pattern that often caused the odor in the first place. When dryness keeps returning, the smarter move is to notice the whole morning mouth pattern rather than chase it with stronger flavor.

Molar fissures trap more than the eye sees

Molar fissures trap more than the eye sees

Molar fissures look like tiny surface lines, but their narrow shape can trap plaque, sugars, softened starches, and acids deeper than the eye can judge. The real challenge is that back tooth grooves can stay active between brushings even when the chewing surface appears clean.

Live zone prompts can steady rushed evening brushing

Live zone prompts can steady rushed evening brushing

Evening brushing often becomes rushed by fatigue, distractions, and the false sense that the day is already over. Live zone prompts help by guiding attention through the mouth in real time, keeping timing, coverage, and pressure from drifting when self-monitoring is weakest.

Chewy vitamins can keep sugar on molar grooves

Chewy vitamins can keep sugar on molar grooves

Chewy vitamins can look harmless because they are sold as part of a health routine, but their sticky texture and sugar content can linger in molar grooves long after swallowing. The cavity issue is usually about retention time, bedtime timing, and repeated contact on hard to clean back teeth.

Accessory canals can spread root irritation sideways

Accessory canals can spread root irritation sideways

Accessory canals are tiny side pathways branching from the main root canal system, and they help explain why irritation inside a tooth does not stay confined to one straight line. When inflammation reaches these routes, discomfort can spread into nearby ligament or bone in less obvious patterns.
