Yeah, it's not like there's money in dental products... Oh wait.
Tooth brushes are under one euro. Tooth paste is around one euro. Both last like a a couple of months. Floss and inter-dental brushes are a couple of euros.
Not everything is implants and high tech drills, the consumer products to take care of your teeth are cheap as fuck. Unless you volunteer to buy the toothbrush with leds, Bluetooth and timer, but that's a tech toy, not a dental product.
An over engineered toothbrush is a dental product just as much as a very cheap one and there are for sure greedy people interested in trying to get people to log their brushing data on a corporate cloud and later link together their insurance and their dental habits at some point and there are for sure people willing to pay for detailed brushing data. It's just the very beginning of it all still. Give it 20 years, your insurance company or dentist will ask you how come you're not logging your brushing.
I disagree, I've heard the same thing about many other things and haven't seen any of those happen. I guess we'll see in years?
Have you ever seen how expensive braces are?
That's not the product that's expensive, it's the dentist salary you're paying (and I don't thing you are going to buy braces online).
