Get kids excited to brush their teeth with this smart, music playing toothbrush
Regardless of age, teeth brushing isn't usually something most people look forward to in their day. Kids who resist brushing their teeth is nothing new — parents everywhere have experienced the battle.
For adults, crashing on the couch in front of your Netflix queue may distract you from keeping those pearly whites clean.
BleepBleeps is a tech company with a crazy neat focus: they create a range of cute, app connected gadgets that make life easier for families. Their most recent gizmo is a Kickstarter project that has already surpassed its goal: it's called the Benjamin Brush and it's about to make nighttime and morning routines a whole lot easier.
What's different about this little guy? Well, a lot. The smart base is what houses the unique technology — the motor for a high-frequency sonic cleaning and waterproof speaker. This high-speed motor uses Sonic Vibe Technology that makes teeth cleaning easier than ever, and what makes the brush stand out from competitors.
High-intensity pulses sweep away plaque and push fluid between the teeth, which is way more effective in preventing tartar buildup and cavities than a regular old toothbrush. Though this cleaning may sound intense, the motor is gentle.
If you remember Tooth Tunes (the toothbrush from the 2000s that played small clips of pre-downloaded songs), Benjamin is similar, but with some insanely smart technology added to it.
The Benjamin Brush is the world's first electronic toothbrush with an integrated music store. BleepBleeps hopes to get the whole family brushing for the suggested two minutes and make oral hygiene something to look forward to. Whether you're into Bieber or Beethoven, the BleepBleeps music store has a huge selection of tracks to choose from. The library is updated with the latest hits daily and new songs are only $0.99, so every teeth brushing session is different with whatever you're in the mood for.
With Benjamin, the menial task of dental hygiene is turned into a game. By connecting brushes to the BleepBleeps app, each person's data on how long they've brushed is saved and earns them points. Friends and family can turn teeth brushing into friendly competition, which will turn the nighttime routine battle into something kids look forward to. Last one to brush for two minutes is a rotten egg, right?
