The most advanced toothbrush around?

2007-10-28T12:47:00.000Z

We've just reviewed the Oral-B Triumph Toothbrush System - a teeth-cleaning system that claims to be the most advanced toothbrush out there. This is an electric toothbrush with a built-in wireless transmitter that sends information about your brushing session to a separate screen. This ensures you clean all areas of your mouth and counts down to the optimal brushing time of two minutes as recommended by dentists.
