New technology is everywhere, sometimes appearing in surprising and often exciting ways. Things have changed a lot in a short amount of time.
Watching a movie from as recent as the 80’s or even 90’s can showcase how far we’ve come. I watched The Money Pit starring Tom Hanks the other day and was marveling not only at the big hair, shoulder pads and stone washed denim, but also how they were conducting their house (=money pit) search. All the office work and real estate listings were in paper files with physical pictures of the houses and of course no cell phones or computers were around at all.
Toothbrush Tech
Even electric toothbrushes have important and new features since that time, thanks to evolving technology.
Today’s electronic toothbrushes have these features:
- The toothbrush will alert you when you are brushing too hard so that you can adapt your pressure.
- Interval timer – for your mouth. The interval timer will let you know when it is time to move to a different area of the mouth, while the regular timer will alert you when you’ve reached the dentist recommended two minute mark. I’m impressed!
- The UV brush head sanitizer will kill 99% of bacteria. A great feature for germaphobes or anyone who overthinks it.
- A three week battery life! Now if only we can get there for cell phones and electric cars.
- Adaptive cleaning technology – the bristles will curve around the teeth and gums for more tooth and gum coverage and makes even the hard to reach places spots much easier to take care of.
- Settings and modes, oh my! There are 3 intensity settings and 3 cleaning modes giving you lots of options to play around with for those who like that kind of thing. There is a deep cleaning for when you feel a bit more is necessary, Clean mode is great for daily use and there is a stain removal mode called White mode. Try out the different intensities to see which one you like. Mix and match the modes with the intensities to further personalize your oral hygiene experience.
Admittedly this tooth brush technology may not be on-par with personal translation devices that fit in your ear or AI goggles, but the technology is cool and can bring superior dental health to many children and adults.
