I’m tired but just thought of an idea. (self.Blind)

Sadly I can’t make this but I think a device should be made where it makes a sound if it sees food particles after brushing your teeth.
Also I’d like a device that does the same for beds.

Mouthwash and eating at a table should do. :\]

Eating at a table?
Mouthwash is good but I don’t see how it would help? Unless you’re thinking of vi people?

Yes, table. Then food particles would stay there.
About mouthwash, i assume it would wash out what's remained. Sometimes, when i don't have time to brush, I just do a quick wash, it's amazing how much stuff it washes out.

There are borescopes for iPhone and Android. A more expensive one might yield good images of the cheek side and tongue side of most teeth.
But the image processing is a problem. You’re more likely to find a good particle with your tongue than someone could write software to do the same. It’s a tough problem.
For beds I’d say it’s not feasible. Lots of little shadows are likely to be misinterpreted as crumbs. Feeling a crumb on your back is probably a more consistently good method. And cheaper.

I was thinking more along the lines of using the device on the sink but I see your point.
As for the crums, yeah I completely agree.

Hahahahaha! So silly why would you want to do this? Hahaha! I think both of these non-tech solutions will help better. Hahaha!

So that you can know if your bed has dirt on it or you could use it for floors
You could just brush your teeth for the first idea.

I love tech but here is where tech is honestly meh. A better job can be done by low tech or your hand or just good practices, don’t eat on your bed and if you do bring a plate along. And if you eat eat at the table or something. Don’t be a slob pretty much and clean up after yourself. Independence skills 101.
And yes toothbrush and dental hygene and your hands if you really need to know what about floss.
Tech is great but sometimes you’re also over doing it.
