Dentistry fighting talk! Yes. This thing is like a vibrating mouthguard, lined with soft bristles, attached to a svelte body. You turn it on and stick the mouthguard bit in your gob.
You’ll look like a giant baby with a pacifier, surely. Yes, but thanks to 30,000 pulses per minute, you’ll get a “whole-mouth clean, without worrying if you missed a spot”.
