I find it strange that there is so little innovation in the field of everyday tooth care. Particularly the inefficiency of brushing one tooth at a time. I like the idea of https://blizzbrush.com/ , has anyone tried it? It's a bit suspicious that the single-pack is "sold out", but the 5 and 10-packs are not.

Totally agree there's too little innovation in this field. I hadn't heard of the Buzz Brush and it's fascinating to me, although it does look half-baked and too indie at the moment for me to trust it with my dental health. Also it's too expensive to try as a throwaway test. Any other cool innovative products that replace standard brushing?

If you are in the US, like me, you might not be aware of Novamin toothpastes. They are available in other countries. It is my understanding that it can enclose dentin tubules exposed by enamel loss.

Do you have a reliable source to purchase? I've no interest in purchasing via Amazon, wouldn't feel comfortable trusting the content.

1. Clean between teeth by using an interdental brush
2. Clean between teeth by using a water flosser
3. Clean teeth surface by using an electric brush.
I am not sure how would the sponge replace these 3 steps.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Why not leave your toothbrush in hydrogen peroxide overnight?
Good idea, it's just I never thought twice about the cleanliness of a toothbrush. I guess it's been ingrained in me to think it's normal to run a toothbrush under water to "clean" it.
Wait so, what do these microrobots actually look like? Are they just small black bristles that you put in your mouth?
If you're young, don't laugh. Once I turned 40 my dental hygienists really spent a lot of time educating me on how to properly brush my teeth. It really requires delicate care. (Remember, most of our ancestors didn't live to be old enough to need delicate dental hygiene.) If something like this works, it'll be wonderful. Carefully cleaning my teeth when I'm half asleep is not fun.
Ultimately an electric is similar to a human but I like that it's consistent. Consistent pressure on my teeth and consistent time in each quadrant as well.

Last year, my dentist warned me I have quite severe receded gums. This was due to me pushing my toothbrush too hard.
So, after doing some research I bought an ultrasonic toothbrush. These have a static head (it does not oscillate/rotate) which emits ultrasonic waves to clean your teeth. Same principle of an ultrasonic parts cleaner. The head is still a traditional brush, though very soft. The brush is used to transfer the sound waves, you do not use it to 'scrub' your teeth. There is not friction involved.
From my experience, I can highly recommend an ultrasonic toothbrush. It takes some time to get used to, but personally, I will never go back to a traditional 'friction' type brush (manual or electric).
The model I have is the Silkin' ToothWave. Prices have come down significantly since I bought mine (I paid >€200 IIRC, now they are ~€90).
Note that some vendors sell traditional 'friction type' oscillating electronic toothbrushes with ultrasonic as a feature. In my opinion, these do not offer much benefit, it is better to go for a fully ultrasonic model.
