While talking to a news channel Mohammad Yasir said, he came across research on the internet that tooth cavities in children have become number one chronic illness in the world. This made him search for the reason, and he got to know it is mostly because children don’t brush their teeth for the recommended four minutes.
And the idea was born. Cavity crusher monitors if the child has brushed their teeth or not and for how many minutes they brushed them and send all the information to the parent.
