    One of the rare cases where this is a serious option: just don’t buy it. People say that for phones that spy on you, but that’s ridiculous because that is quite hard for some people. This is not. Use a regular toothbrush. Duck tape a vibrator motor to the handle if you really feel like that helps. You don’t need the ai, and it is unlikely that you will only ever be able to buy ai toothbrushes.

      As a man with ADHD and poor oral hygiene, I need to get one of these just so that the assistant in my toothbrush gets lonely and depressed.

      Just when things are starting to get their most bleak, I’ll use it to scrub my toilet.

        I fucking hate brushing my teeth. I cannot understand how so many people seem to just willingly do it like multiple times a day. How do they deal with the feeling of open revolt that washes over every cell in your body when thinking of teeth brushing?

          Try different toothpastes. The very popular ones (Crest, Colgate) I find treacly sweet and disgusting, and I fucking hate mint anything. Arm and Hammer is my go to for that bland goodness. YMMV.

          After my first cavity and filling, and the pain of chewing on that side again it was all the motivation I needed to brush and floss first thing every morning, and then brush before bed no matter how much I hate it.

          Take care of your teeth. If you get problems, it hurts like a bitch, it can ruin you day, every day for years. It’s also expensive as hell. Take care of them, the best that you possibly can.

          You are a disgusting person who no one wants to be around. We deal with it by avoiding people like you
