why an electric tuffbrush?

 

why? 🤷‍♀️

If youd ever had the pleasure of listening to me gagging brushing my teeth with a old fashioned toothbrush youd know why for me anyhow..

(Cant find a puking emoji 😀)

Because one can buy a stick with bristles in the end. (No not the big ones)

And they don’t need no powering up. 

 

You can say that about all the modern and convenient things you use.

I guess so

maybe I’m just behind the times

but I wonder how much we really need,

when the world goes Mad Max it’ll upset a lot of people who’ll have to learn new skills,

like how to manually open a tin or whisk an egg, shave and brush their teeth of course

A great example of why we use the serial or "Oxford" comma... (either that, or you have really weird teeth)

The teeth and the hairs are grey to avoid confusion

But the how do you recharge those?

I'm pretty sure the aa/aaa charger I used to use (uniross?) Had a mains charger and also a car cigarette lighter charger.

I went to the barber last week and asked him just to cut out the grey bits.

 

I realised my mistake when he got out the Mr Sheen...

I once blew up an electric toothbrush charging it on its waterproof non-contact induction stand from a semi- sinewave inverter plugged into a shaver socket in the bathroom. I'm not sure if the problem was the inverter or the induction charger or the combination?

 

I now have a much better USB plug in charging toothbrush and a pure sinewave inverter and it's fine, I just don't charge it in the bathroom.

Because they clean your teeth much better.  I thought the same as you until my dentist recommended I get an electric toothbrush and I tried it.

same problem we had modified Sine wave inverter saw off the charger....   I also have a cheap Angle grinder that refuses to work off the same inverter ( I don't use that on my teeth before anyone asks) 

 

and My dentist also recommended using an electric toothbrush. On the next check up he said he could see the difference and reduced my checkups from every 6 months to 9 months so the saving paid for the leccy brush.  🙂

For years I had Plaque probs then proper usable electric toothbrushes arrived, better but not perfect, I've never had success with flossing but when interdental brushes appeared my plaque probs disappeared.

Now I can't use them as I keep stabbing my gums due to co-ordination probs so next step I'm awaiting delivery of a cordless water flosser, (fingers crossed)

 

Technology eh? , who needs it 🤣🤣🤣
