Quotes:
“The first thing that sets this toothbrush apart from other toothbrushes is, it's not the AI, but it is the way it was redesigned and re-engineered from inside out.”
“Green is good. I have to maintain this color throughout the mouth. If I apply too much pressure, it turns red.”
“The studies have shown that using an electric toothbrush, you're able to get all the areas that you will be missing with your manual because of that mechanism, but the vibration disrupts the biofilm, and that helps it break it down. So that is why anyone who uses an electric toothbrush brushes better than anyone who doesn't.”
“I will suggest everyone should use an electric toothbrush because it's not a luxury tool. It's actually a medical device.”
“Invest in yourself. Your oral health is the gateway to the systemic health.”
“Get an electric toothbrush because your oral health determines everything.”
“From this podcast, if you will take anything, please invest in your oral health because that is what's important. Buy that $200, $300 toothbrush. It is going to last you ten years.”
