Bluetooth Toothbrush?

[stevej37]

Just back from a 6 month dental cleaning.
The hygienist suggested I get a different electric toothbrush...an Oral B because they feature a round rotating head instead of a rectangular head. (I have a narrow front toothline.)

Looking at Amazon, I find that Oral B has at least 6 different models. I don't want to buy 'bottom of the line' so I see this one......

Is it really necessary to have Bluetooth on your toothbrush???

What's the reason for having it in the first place?

I’m thinking about getting an electric toothbrush water pic combo.

Iff'n yer teeth are blue... how good can it be?

according to their description...
"Bluetooth communication allows the brush to connect with your smartphone to give you real-time feedback on your brushing habits."

There's an app for that!!

That's what I need! One more thing to nag me. "Your brushing habits suck! Why don't you brush more often? And for god sakes floss once in a while"

I'm going to need a 'round the neck' holder for my smartphone.
I can't be brushing, punching keys, holding the phone....all at once.

And ya can't talk to google or siri when you're brushing your teeth! "hey Siri... am I brushing properly?"

[Evans, Marv]

I have a wife for that. "You know your electric tooth brush has a two two minute timer. You'r not going your two minutes!"

[Steve Carlton]

She's probably used to that.

^^^ That's funny!

Steve, I've got an Oral B tooth brush and it's got some lights on it that light up if you are pushing on yer teeth too hard. So I don't think you really need an app to tell you off.

Mine is the sort that usually has the round rotating head but I swapped it out for a head that does a left and right movement so it gets between teeth, not just skimming over the highests points.

^^^ Yours sounds like this one...

I would go with that one before the 6000 one. I don't need bluetooth on my toothbrush.

Silliest F***ing thing I have ever seen, If you can't brush your damned teeth without being connected, you have a problem !
