Globally, the prevalence of dental ailments, such as dental caries, tooth decay, and periodontal diseases are increasing at a concerning rate. This can be attributed to rising alcohol consumption, smoking, and unhealthy eating habits. As per the WHO, the treatment of dental caries accounts for about 5 to 10% of the total healthcare expenditure in developed countries. As per the CDC, in 2015–2016, the prevalence of total caries was around 45.8%, and untreated caries was about 13.0% among the people aged between 2–19 years. In the U.S., about 91% of the adults aged 20 and above have dental caries once in their lifetime. According to the study published by the American College of Prosthodontists, in the U.S., above 120 million people are missing at least one tooth, out of which, around 36 million people do not have teeth. As per the FDI World Dental Federation, in developed countries, over 60% aged 6–19 are suffering from dental caries. Whereas, in developing countries, India, Mexico, and Brazil have a prevalence of about 80%.

Technological Developments in Toothbrushes

The rapid technological advancement in toothbrushes has given rise to the development of technically advanced and easy-to-use oral care products, such as electric toothbrushes, vibrating toothbrushes, and artificial intelligence-equipped toothbrushes. The growing demand for technologically advanced toothbrushes is grabbing the attention of emerging and leading players that are actively working to develop innovative products to sustain in the cut-throat competition.
