I’ve been a long time sonicare user, just recently bought this model after having the previous model for 5 years. They last a long time and honestly could’ve kept using the one before but I wanted to try the new one and I really liked the brush heads better. I’m not likely to use the app for it, kinda silly rather than useful.
So how long has brushing your tongue been a thing?
My hygienists have actually recommended scraping your tongue with a tongue scraper (sold in the aisle). Brushing your tongue just agitates the grime around. A tongue scraper will eject it off your tongue and out of your mouth.
I can see this, rather than being a "Solution in search of a problem", being a big help -- but to kids.
... Getting kids to brush their teeth has been problem ever since God invented the toothbrush.
But, properly implemented, this can improve the situation in two ways:
1) The integration with an iPad, iPod or iPhone can potentially make it more fun for kids -- giving them various rewards (behaviorists call it "postive feedback") when they do it right. Say, for instance, game points to one of their favorite games.
2) It can give helicopter mom the ability to monitor her kid's brushing and give him some "negative feedback" when he screws it up.
Great - now putting Bluetooth - a listed possible radiating carcinogen - into your mouth. Not for me.
I use AirPods for Bluetooth between my iPhone and both ears, putting my brain directly along that Bluetooth radiation triangle. The way I see it, putting a Bluetooth toothbrush in my mouth is a holistic way of cancelling out any negative effects from all the other Bluetooth. Thank you, Sonicare, for saving me from cancer!
