Too Much Information: Toothbrush Live-streams The Inside Of Your Mouth

Because apparently we lack the ability to keep track of where exactly our toothbrush is doing its job, a company called Onvi has created the Prophix, a ‘smart toothbrush’ that packs a 1080p camera (and a small light) with the ability to send its footage in real-time to your smartphone. In this way you’ll apparently be able to get a definitely non-disturbing view of the inside of your mouth, with all the specks of food and tartar you may have missed while performing a regular, non-techy brushing. If you’re able to stomach the sight of such an activity, perhaps you’ll choke on the asking price instead: $400. That’s right, for the price of two perfectly capable Oral-B brushes, you’ll get one that does pretty much the exact same thing, with the addition of a dubious-use camera and a few attachments. It ships in Q1 2017 and if you pre-order now, you’ll save $100 on retail.

Activated Charcoal Toothbrush Cleans Your Mouth Better Than The Competition

So it seems there’s a bunch of people who believe that activated charcoal does some pretty magical things.

Binchotan Charcoal is a highly porous activated charcoal from Japan that naturally removes unpleasant odors from the air, regulates the humidity, absorbs chemicals, dissipates the electromagnetic field, generates beneficial negative ions, and is used in everything from cooking to water purification to household deodorizing.

since it allegedly does so many great things, it’s no surprise to see it integrated into the bristles of a toothbrush, an implement tasked with cleaning some of the dirtiest parts of your body. The Morihata Binchotan Charcoal Toothbrushes are black and apparently will “help remove plaque, stop bad breath, and even prevent harmful bacteria and viruses from growing within the brush itself.” Maybe it’s true, maybe it’s snake oil, but either way the toothbrush is all black, which is kind of cool. It’s $10 for one.

Oral-B’s Connected Toothbrush Might Make Brushing More Fun

Oral-B_SmartSeries_Bluetooth_Toothbrush

Connected devices are all the rage these days, and the toothbrush appears to be the latest to receive the treatment. The Oral-B Smart Series are a line of electric brushes that connect to your smartphone through Bluetooth 4.0, and give you the ability to track a number of brushing-related metrics. From how often, to how long, to how well you brush will be instantly visible on the app, and perhaps serve as a visual encouragement to practice better oral hygiene. The brushes themselves feature all of Oral-B’s abilities, such as 3D cleaning action and visible pressure sensor lights that warn you when you’re brushing a little too vigorously. Price and availability are unclear at this point.

Rinser Toothbrush Turns into a Drinking Fountain

rinser toothbrush Rinser Toothbrush Turns into a Drinking Fountain
Turn your toothbrush into a drinking fountain with the Rinser Toothbrush from Amron. The toothbrush has a special channel cut into that thrusts the water upwards so you can drink. The heads are replaceable too, they just pop right out. While it’s a neat trick there a few little problems with this: it costs $22 per brush and doesn’t come out for 6 months and most dentists recommend that you do not rinse after brushing so that the toothpaste continues to coat and clean your teeth.
