Brush smarter. That’s the message from the makers of what is billed as the world’s first internet-connected toothbrush.

Unveiled on Sunday at a preview event for the Consumer Electronics Show, the device from French-based start-up Kolibree aims “to reinvent oral care”, according to co-founder Loic Cessot.

“The technology in the industry has not evolved for years,” Cessot said.

“The idea is not to brush stronger, but smarter.”

The Kolibree toothbrush includes a sensor which detects how much tartar is being removed in a brushing. It also records brushing activity so users can maintain a consistent cleaning each time.
