Now what the F is with toothbrush technology. It’s a toothbrush – it doesn’t need new technology – just some soft bristles and a handle. Every time I watch TV there is an ad for some new thing – a hole to make your thumb more comfortable (why does you thumb need to be comfortable?), bristles that are different sizes or are arranged in a pattern on the brush head, bendable necks on the handle, a brush for whitening, a brush for acid wear and it goes on. None of these things are going to make your teeth any cleaner than a regular toothbrush.

I must admit though that the kid’s toothbrushes are pretty impressive – they don’t get new technology just Spiderman and Winnie-the-Pooh handles.
