After a one-minute test drive, my mouth felt brand new! I immediately threw my manual toothbrush in the garbage where it belonged. Who knew!? I haven’t been brushing my teeth all these years!
My wife had the same reaction after her first brush as well. She ran out of the bathroom stating, “THIS is brushing your teeth. I felt like I just had a cleaning at the dentist.”
