Brushing your teeth is pretty basic… right? The truth is, even though we’ve all been doing it our entire lives, many of us aren’t very good at it. Most people miss 40% of their pearly whites every time they brush. Really, we could all use a little help. That’s why we’re so excited about hum, the smart electric toothbrush from Colgate. And we’re giving three away (one in each color) to SheFinds readers! Just scroll down to enter.
Here’s what we love about hum: First of all, the toothbrush itself is great. Our favorite feature is the adjustable vibration level, which can be customized based on your dental needs: normal, sensitive, or deep clean. It also has a timer to let you know when your two minutes of brushing are up, so you don’t have to try and track on your own. Get it in your choice of three different colors, and battery-powered or rechargeable (which lasts for ten days with each charge). And don’t forget the ergonomic handle! No reason not to be comfortable while you work on your grin.
What really sets hum apart, though, is its smart features. It connects to an app with all kinds of cool tracking features. It tracks how often and how long you brush, in addition to how well you cover your entire mouth. Then, it gives you personalized guidance on how to improve your brushing – things like slowing or increasing your speed, changing the angle at which you hold the brush, or focusing on different areas of your mouth. The more you brush, the more customized the advice you get. The app will give you notifications and keep track of your progress whether or not it’s open, and you can sync your data at any time. It also has the capability to connect with your Apple Watch and the Health app. The other cool thing about hum is that as you keep up your brushing habits, you earn points that can be redeemed in the app shop. Nothing like some positive reinforcement… and some cool swag.
