What Are The Scientists Getting Us Into? New Toothbrushes That Can Be Connected To Your Smart Phone

When I first saw this, I just went 'sigh, now this!'. In this era when every one is going gadget crazy, the toothbrush too has now been fashion into a gadget. They say this is out of concern for your oral health, but really, are such lengths necessary? My grandfather that never used a toothbrush nor even visited a dentist all his life died at an old age with all his teeth intact.

Anyway, this is how the wonder toothbrush works. The Oral-B 7000 SmartSeries is the first toothbrush on the market to connect to your smartphone over Bluetooth, which allows you to track your brushing habits over time, see which areas of your mouth could use more attention, and avoid damaging your gums by brushing too hard.

They say it costs about $150 now. A whole $150 (almost N30,000) for 1 toothbrush, chai! They justify the exorbitant prize by saying it is way less than what you would have to spend to visit the dentist, but who says you won't still need  to see the dentist even after brushing with this? What do you think? Wanna try one?
