17. Smart Toothbrushes
What It Does: Tracks Dental Hygiene
Expected Rollout: Currently In Stores
If going to the dentist was a dreaded experience before, thanks to Oral-B and the smart toothbrush that it’s developed, lying to the dentist about one’s brushing frequency will be a thing of the past. Through the use of Bluetooth, Oral-B’s smart series electric toothbrushes are able to track each and every brushstroke that a user takes via an app, and, if programmed to, send the brushing info to the user’s dentist.

Smart toothbrushes not only track brushing data for the dentist but also give their users real-time advice on how to be more effective and more efficient at brushing. Found in stores and online, the latest in Oral-B’s smart series brushes are sold for (a pretty reasonable) $130.
