Abstract:
This paper explores the integration of IoT devices, data analytics, and education techniques to enhance pediatric dental health outcomes. By leveraging real-time data collection, analysis, and personalized interventions, IoT can empower both caregivers and children to adopt proactive dental hygiene practices. This comprehensive approach not only improves oral health but also establishes lifelong habits for overall wellness. Pediatric dental health is a vital but often overlooked component of overall well-being. Despite its significance, it frequently lacks the attention it deserves. Integrating Internet of Things (IoT) technologies into pediatric dental care presents an opportunity for substantial improvement in early prevention and education strategies. This comprehensive approach not only enhances oral health but also establishes lifelong habits conducive to overall wellness. Pediatric dental health is a crucial determinant of overall well-being, yet it frequently remains overshadowed by other health priorities. Addressing pediatric dental health requires proactive measures, including early prevention and education strategies. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies presents a promising avenue to revolutionize pediatric dental care and enhance health outcomes. This paper delves into the potential of IoT devices, data analytics, and education techniques in improving pediatric dental health. By harnessing real-time data collection, analysis, and personalized interventions, IoT empowers caregivers and children to adopt proactive dental hygiene practices. This holistic approach not only enhances oral health but also fosters the development of lifelong habits conducive to overall wellness. Through a comprehensive examination of IoT integration, this paper underscores the transformative impact it can have on pediatric dental health, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing innovative approaches to address this critical aspect of childhood well-being.
