Researchers turn brushing your teeth into a game
Researchers turn brushing your teeth into a game
Kids -- they hate brushing their teeth. Sure, we try and show them pictures of zombie faces and toothless seniors, but it just doesn't work. Finally, someone has come up with a solution to the problem: make it fun. picked by leehblanc 2 years ago

Anybody see the beginning of PeeWee's big adventure, where he uses a house-wide Rube Goldberg machine to make toast and eggs? This is it's hygenic equivalent. WTF?

That is awesome except all the crap you have to put in the bathroom.

I brush my teeth all the time. In fact, I am brushing them right now.

I wonder how many people have enough money to spend on that thing. Probably more than I think. I know I don't...

That's really cool! Of course it won't be used in its current state, but with some development it can become part of the mirror, and you wouldn't need the little box on the end of the toothbrush.

Personally, I'm thinking this is an amazing idea with a lot of $$$ potential.

Kids who tested the system were found to brush twice as well as those who hadn't used it, but were also extremely cocky about their perfect teeth.
Yeah... you got perfect teeth. Now hand over your lunch money!

OK, the webcam sees where the toothbrush is. But how does it know where the teeth are? Do I have to stick LEDs into my child's mouth or forehead?

I stopped at the part where you have to install a webcam in your bathroom... Then I broke out into laughter when I heard they tested it on 24 kindergarten kids..

Where is that guy from dateline when you need him? These people are putting hidden webcams in children's bathrooms!
