Bossy Toothbrush Tells You How to Clean

If an electric toothbrush isn't high-tech enough for you, then you could kick it up a notch with the Triumph with SmartGuide. The brush monitors how you are cleaning your teeth - time, area and pressure, and sends that information back to a base station. This base station, which can be stuck on a bathroom mirror, then tells you where and for how long you should be focusing in order to get a thorough and even brushing.

This gadgetry doesn't come cheap though, costing as much as a trip to the dentist at $280. It will be available in the UK from next month.[Spuch]

Then it dials Santa to tell him if you've been naughty or nice.

Does it degrade you and call you names if you don't brush properly? My kid is getting a little too cocky and I'd like to take him down a notch.

I got one of these for free from my dentist - minus the external display. It's pretty sweet but not sure if I would spend that kind of money normally. It does a good job regardless, even if you happen to have more than five teeth...

If you need some device to tell you how to brush your teeth properly, you probably haven't got any teeth to brush from that time you had the great idea of using a hammerdrill as a toothpick.

Next-up - shoes that tell you how to walk properly!

I already own one of those since 5 months. I got me one at a Dental Show called IDS here in Germany.
They told me it'll be sold at a retail price of 160 € o_O
I got it for 30 € lol...

I've already used about EVERY Oral B electric toothbrush but this one really kicks ass ^^
You get all clean teeth and you don't hurt your gum applying to high pressure.

That truly is the best toothbrush I've ever used (+ it has this geeky display :D).
