- I'm Andru Edwards and you're watching Gear Live.
I feel like I've started a lot of videos this year
with the phrase I'm a big fan of smart tech.
And it's true.
I like controlling various devices in my home
using my smart phone or voice control.
But hold up.
I was in the Apple store the other day
and I came across this.
This is the Colgate Connect E One.
Now you're probably wondering,
what is a toothbrush doing in the Apple store?
Well, it was in the smart phone section
because this is a smart electric toothbrush
with artificial intelligence built in.
It aims to use technology
to improve your dental hygiene
with its companion iOS app.
Now coincidentally, after I saw it,
Colgate reached out and said they wanted to send one over
for me to check out.
So, let's jump into it.
What is going on Tech Squad?

As I mentioned today, we are taking a look
at a smart electric toothbrush
that has AI built in.
This is the Colgate Connect E One.
Now if you go into the dental hygiene area
of your favorite store,
whether it's an electronics store or a pharmacy, et cetera,
you're gonna see a bunch of different things
to take care of your teeth.
You got your water flossers,
you got your regular floss,
you've got your mouthwash,
you've got the toothpaste,
you got all sorts of stuff, whitening,
all this, but the one thing people don't do
as well as they should out of everything
is brush your teeth.
Now hold on I know a lot of you out there,
what are you talking about?
I don't brush my teeth,
I brush my teeth very well, thank you.
I'm not saying you don't brush your teeth.
I'm saying we learn to brush our teeth as children
and then we just pretty much continue to brush our teeth
the way we learned to do it as children.
That may not be the best way or the best method
of taking care of your teeth.
And listen, I felt the same way when I learned that fact
and I actually learned that fact a few years ago.
So when I went to the dentist, I said,
"Hey I need, I want you to show me,
"what is the proper way to brush your teeth?
"Because I feel like I brush my teeth the right way,
but I hear people don't do it properly."
So, they showed me, and I've been brushing,
it's a little bit of a tweak but I've been
brushing my teeth that way ever since.
Have no problems.
Now according to a study Colgate conducted
users miss over 40% of the surfaces of their teeth
prior to using the Connect E One.
All right, now before we get to testing this guy out,
it is time to open it up.
Inside the box as you can see here you will find
the Colgate Connect E One toothbrush itself.
You get an extra brush head
and the charging base.
The smart toothbrush maps out your mouth as you brush
and it keeps track of exactly where you brushed
and it will even provide feedback on what you missed
and how you can improve your brushing score.
All this information is available right in the app,
which connects to your toothbrush over Bluetooth.
If you connect to the app while you're brushing,
the app will even provide real time feedback
so you can make sure you hit every spot.
The app gives you an overview of your weekly average stats
based on duration, frequency and surface coverage.
You can tap on each item to get a detailed graph
and make sure you're on track with your brushing.
And what's more, you can even share your results
with your dentist to make your appointments
that much more effective and you can even opt-in
to Apple research kit integration,
which lets you share your brushing data anonymously
to help oral health researchers improve their products.
So obviously the app makes brushing a little more immersive
and a little more fun, especially for kids.
But what's even cooler is there is also a companion
Apple watch app as well,
so you do not need to have your phone out
while you're brushing your teeth.
I just mentioned kids,
the Colgate Connect E One is also very kid-friendly.
It features games in the app that'll motivate kids
to brush better and collect coins
based on their brushing habits.
The family mode also allows you to track the entire family,
so the whole group can keep up and compete with each other.
The app also keeps track of when you brush your teeth,
perfect for keeping the kids on track
and reminding them to brush twice a day.
The Connect E One has everything you need
to track and receive feedback on your brushing,
but it's also an amazing toothbrush on its own.
It uses sonic vibrations to provide the best clean
and the small rounded head is able to fit into any
spot of your mouth.
The brush has a 10 day battery life
so if you go on a trip that's shorter than that
there's no need to take your charger with you.
And if you do run out of juice,
it takes about 12 hours to go from an empty battery
back to fully charged.
The brush heads are easily replaceable
and you can buy replacement heads in packs of three
for about 19 bucks.
So went back to my whole love of smart home tech,
even my toothbrush now is smart enough to connect
to my smartphone, to connect to my smart watch
and give me feedback on how well I'm brushing my teeth,
which may not sound like a big deal,
but oral hygiene is a part of health
and when tech isn't just cool but actually helps
keep us healthier and more fit,
I am a huge fan of that.
So there you have it guys,
that was your look at the Colgate Connect E One
smart toothbrush with artificial intelligence built in.

Is this something you'd pick up?
It costs 99 bucks, you can pick it up at the Apple store.

and at Colgate.com as well.
