Internet-connected toothbrush makes

 Consumer Electronic Show debut

From Yahoo! News:

Brush smarter. That's the message from the makers of what is billed as the world's first Internet-connected toothbrush.

Unveiled Sunday at a preview event for the Consumer Electronics Show, the device from French-based Kolibree aims "to reinvent oral care,"

"The idea is not to brush stronger, but smarter."

The Kolibree toothbrush includes a sensor which detects how much tartar is being removed in a brushing. It also records brushing activity so users can maintain a consistent cleaning each time.

How does it work? The device conveys the information wirelessly to a smartphone app.

"When you use a normal toothbrush you never really know what you've cleaned. It might be 30 percent. The only person who really knows is the dentist."

But the app can tell users if they have missed hard-to-clean areas or are not getting a thorough brushing.

Orders will be available initially through Kickstarter from $99 to $200, depending on the model and will include a free mobile app.
