Disclosed is a new method, and a system, for increasing the pH of a composition applied on teeth and/or gums. The composition is gelable under the influence of a pH change. The pH change typically is a pH increase in the event of a direct pH-triggered gelation. The pH change typically is a pH decrease in the event of gelation induced by ions, such as calcium ions, released from a pH-sensitive carrier. The device comprises a dispensing unit for the composition, a distal end of which is adapted to apply said substance onto teeth or gums. The device further comprises an electrode system comprising first and second electrodes, the first electrode being adapted to be held against the composition at a location at or near teeth or gums, and the second electrode being adapted to be held against the composition at a location away from teeth or gums, The electrode system is adapted so as to provide an electrical potential difference of 1.5 to 10 Volt between the electrodes.

The present invention provides a smart tooth cleaning device comprises a hand piece having a bearing surface, a tooth cleaning piece, a driving module connected to the tooth cleaning piece for driving the tooth cleaning piece to move, a first camera module comprising a first optical lens and a first image capturing element, and a first light source module comprising a plurality of light-emitting elements. The tooth cleaning piece has a tooth cleaning body, a brush head, and a plurality of bristles. The first camera module is disposed on the bearing surface and is electrically connected to the control module. The first image capturing element receives light along an optical axis of the first optical lens. A first angle θ1 between the optical axis and a first direction, is in a range of 5°to 30°. The first light source module is disposed on the bearing surface.

A toothbrush (10) includes a brushhead (18), a first force sensor (30A) for measuring a first force exerted by the brushhead at a first angle relative to a tooth and a second force sensor (30B) for measuring a second force exerted by the brushhead at a second angle relative to the tooth, the second angle being different than the first angle, and a processing unit (26). The processing unit is structured to: (i) receive first information indicative of the first force as measured by the first force sensor, (ii) receive second information indicative of the second force as measured by the second force sensor, and (iii) determine information regarding a current brushing angle of the brushhead based on the first information and the second information.
