... and the latest is a toothbrush with an "onboard computer" and an LCD screen. Even by my standards, that's excessive gadgetry...

Does this include a camera like they have in cellphones?

Are our Dentists going to be reviewing surveillance footage, now?

Hmm. You're probably right -- but a toothbrush which had a stroke counter and wouldn't beep until you'd reached 100, would be very, very useful for everyone from kids to adults.

It would be more useful if it didn't stop beeping until you'd reached 100....

Either way would work -- I think something constantly beeping would lead me to want to interface with it using a hammer.

That said, the current ones (as far as I've seen,) only have timers. Something that counts the strokes, as a pedometer does, would be far more useful.

Better idea

How about one which counts the strokes and, when you reach the target, releases some reward—say, it notifies your video game console that you're allowed to play for 5 minutes?

A Sonicare goes for two minutes once you turn it on (stroke count isn't really applicable with them)

Yeah... I was thinking for the cheapie market -- under $5, say. Character toothbrushes for children, for example. They have powered ones, but my kids still don't use 'em right.

The latest Oral-B gizmo signals every 30 seconds so that you can divide the mouth into quarters, or if your a redneck be sure that each tooth gets the time it deserves.
