Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- A new high-tech toothbrush can keep tabs on your brushing habits and tattle to your dentist.

It's called the Beam Brush, and it contains a Bluetooth chip that wirelessly reports your brushing habits to an app on your smartphone.

That data can then be sent to your dentist.

The toothbrush can also connect to other smartphones and play music while it times your brushing.

All that technology in one small device comes at a price -- the Beam Brush costs $50.
