It brushes, massages and checks out your mouth

Good news for all you germophobes out there! It seems that even the toothbrush is being networked as "intelligent" nowadays. And with Oral B's latest invention it's hard to admit the contrary.

The manufactures created this type of toothbrush which not only offers different brushing modes for polishing, massaging and cleaning. Believe it or not, it can wirelessly connect to a mirror-mounted LCD display which tells you when to keep brushing. The LCD display is ingeniously timing your brushing to make sure that you don't miss a single spot in a 2-minute daily routine.

Moreover, it has a "quadrant" display to inform you to move between different areas of your mouth. A real GPS for your mouth, I'd say. Even if you move out of the wireless range, when you step back in the bathroom, the LCD display automatically catches up with your physical position. Smart move, huh?

In addition, it sports an Advanced FlossAction Brushhead and a dentis-inspired powerful polisher. So it helps you achieve the dental-recommended 2 minutes brushing and displays the information you need in 13 different languages. Not to mention the professional timer signals every 30 seconds to encourage perfect brushing of the four quadrants, while a pressure sensor stops pulsations when you brush too hard.

The Oral-B Triumph comes with a useful SmartGuide, which should be available imminently with a "generously" price tag of around, let's say...$150.

With the latest trend of inserting all sorts of high tech devices in one that has a main purpose, I wouldn't be surprised in one of these days, I'll buy a toothbrush that would have an mp3 player attached to it, a voice recorder, or even a small digital camera integrated into the system. Even better, how about playing music straight to my teeth!
