The system and method also treat the mouth when certain substances are detected within the mouth. In some forms, the system includes a holder, a sensor that is attached to the holder and an oral treatment that is secured by the holder. The sensor detects a substance that influences oral health when the system is placed near a mouth. The oral treatment engages the mouth to treat the mouth when the substance is detected within the mouth. The method includes placing the system near a mouth and detecting the presence of a substance that influences oral health using the sensor. The method further includes treating the mouth using the oral treatment.
