Titanium Toothbrush

[4lec]

I read a couple of months back about a titanium toothbrush in Japan, where no tooth paste is needed, u just need to brush ur teeth with your mouth open, so sunlight can, in effect, charge the titanium on the shaft of the toothbrush. The electrons, im guessing, emitted from the titanium then dislodge and food particles etc.
Is this toothbrush actually in existance, i didnt read it on April Fools Day did i?
and anyone use it? I'd love a real review, not one that newspapers have made up.
cheers

There's more detail about how it works, together with clinical reviews, on the firm's US website:

Doesn't everyone clean their teeth with their mouth open? Otherwise, how would get the brush in there?

If it works from sunlight, then how would you brush your teeth at night time?

Bet the designers never thought of that one!

Ace: it works with light, including sunlight. So unless you brush your teeth in the dark, you'll have no problem.
