Two Canadians invented a new type of toothbrush which wears on your tongue and you brush the teeth with your tongue. You are hands-free to brush your teeth. What do you think? I just wonder whether it will make my tongue tired? Or will it brush my teeth well? Is the brushing strength enough? Is it easy to put on this toothbrush to your tongue?

It sounds too weird for me. The best toothbrush I have come across so far is the electric toothbrush. Not the old type, the new ones come with ultrasonic. It is very clean.

It is worthy to buy an ultrasonic as you know how expensive for the dental fee.

hi youless thats the silliest thing I have heard yet as how the heck is that going to work no I will stick to the old fashioned toothbrush and toothpaste myself.I think it would make my tongue sore and I fail to see any benefit of it al.. I bet that it will not sell well as too many people will be leery of it.It is just too weird.

It is likely to be a failing invention.

Aunt Hatley, same like you i prefer to use the old-fashioned way of brushing my teeth. I don't dare to use this new and weird way of brushing my teeth. Hope you are always doing fine there... Happy weekend, aunt...

Well, I don't know about you but my tongue is not talented in the brushing motions. I think it would be weird to have a brush on my tongue. Who would use it? Maybe you would get used to it after awhile. I don't know. Sounds weird though.

I think it will be so tiring to use a tongue to brush the teeth

And you wouldn't have the pressure on the brush that a hand would give it.

Looks uncomfortable and not good for your teeth at all and they talk about hygene? How dirty and germy this thing will be after just a few uses! and you have to use your fingers to ut it in so if your fingers aren't clean well whats the point? It's a fail to me I wouldn't try it

It uses the tongue rather than fingers.

Yes I know that but how are you going to put it on your tongue if not with your fingers?

I think it's true that very few of us actually take the time to brush our tongues, and yet our tongues can harbor a lot of bacteria and germs! Think of what we use our tongues for on a daily basis! It does feel funny when the bristles of the brush scrape your tongue, but I know dentists do recommend you brush your tongue at least once a day. Not sure about this new type of toothbrush however.

I am not sure it can really brush my teeth well.

I think it is really a great idea, so that we can clean our teeth when we like. In fact, I think tongue is soft and it can reach all directions in our mouth, so the new brush can be more powerful than normal teeth brush. But I doubt how can be keep it on the tongue.

Youless, i don't think that i want to stress my tongue too much. It will makes me loss appetite and felt discomfort. I still prefer to use the old-fashioned way of brushing my teeth. At least, i can brush every areas of my mouth without tiring my tongue. Besides that, i am not sure as how clean will my teeth be by using this new way of brushing.

Maybe I`m too oldfashioned, but I wouldn`t even try the new toothbrush. It doesn`t like something that I`d like to put on my tongue. Ans I don`t even think that this brush will clean our teeth as well as the old one.

I still prefer the old method brushing teeth with a toothbrush and using hand to do it not by tongue. You can't clean some difficult area if you use tongue to clean it for you.

I don't think using the tongue to "brush" the teeth will work well.

I think it is kind of a cute innovation. However, it does not seems like they are going to be very efficient in cleaning your teeth. Even if one does use such toothbrush, it may just be a complement to the common toothbrush and I don't see the market value in making such toothbrush. Perhaps for a short while people will find it cute and interesting and give it a try. But soon they will realize that it does not clean one's teeth that much and it is tiring to brush your teeth with this type of toothbrush.
