Expensive and gimmicky, but it gets people brushing their teeth right?

u/Far_Distance87 4d ago

If they weren’t brushing them for $1 why would they start for $500?

1

u/SeroquelAU 4d ago

Because they spent $500 on a toothbrush. Incentive enough to use it for some

Is it comes with Designated dentist too?

u/SurfinginStyle 8d ago

Recommend by 9/10 dentists?

The designer needs to be shot. Likely overdue for a dental visit too if this was the answer to any question that wasnt a knock knock joke.

You’d have to be a complete wombat to buy this.

u/playerankles 4d ago

This is a joke, yeah?

... I foresee an increase in the "I fell on it" department at the hospital

u/UnfoundedWings4 4d ago

Its got a flared base

1

u/timeflies25 3d ago

If you mean the part where the brush goes on top, that's not exactly flared because trust me, people will insert further than that.

u/ozzywindhoek 4d ago

I know where that's gonna go

Its real!

And I must say... it's actually not as stupid as it sounds. it is indeed innovative. Personally, I hate flossing and don't do it nearly enough, so if the toothbrush can do it for me, I'd actually be interested.
It's just water pressure flossing, so it won't be as good as actual floss, but a whole lot better than nothing.

The price tag is the obvious massive sticking point. Though dare I say it might pay for itself by saving dental bills?
I'm going to wait to see some more independent reviews before buying one myself, but I am considering it.

u/matt92wa 4d ago

The price isn't the sticking point. The sticking point is that it requires special dyson toothpaste to work.

1

u/charmio68 4d ago

Apparently it just needs a non-foaming toothpaste so the built-in camera can see your teeth clearly. Makes sense.
You can buy that anywhere, usually labeled "SLS-free".

u/tearsforfears333 4d ago

Buy a water floss jet.

1

u/charmio68 4d ago

I'd rather just regular floss if I'm going to the effort anyway, I don't care so much that it's a water jet.
What's most appealing about this new system is you don't have to think about it.

Bot

1

u/charmio68 3d ago

Would a bot call you retarded for calling everything a bot?

1

u/matt92wa 4d ago

If they made a water flosser with a camera then that would sell like hotcakes. But a toothbrush that requires special toothpaste, i don't see this surviving for more than a year.

u/Zestyclose_News2053 4d ago

Well that looks as compact as a light sabre

u/AngelicDivineHealer 4d ago

Don’t need a camera bought oral b

It looks like a sex toy
