When I was approached to review an electric toothbrush recently, I jumped at the chance. Why? Because I have been using the same electronic toothbrush for over 15 years. I am happy to report I was ready for the new technology offered by the Oral-B ProfessionalCare SmartSeries 5000 with SmartGuide. Some details about this toothbrush are available in my first blog post here.
I love this toothbrush. I did a video to show you exactly why that is. This is not just a toothbrush, it is also a wireless device! When you start the power on the toothbrush a timer automatically starts as well. This helps because it is suggested that you break your brushing into 4 quarters, bottom left and right, top left and right. Concentrating on these quadrants as my dentist calls them, you can focus on a smaller amount of surface area to brush. The toothbrush pauses and the timer screen changes quadrant to remind you to move on with your brushing to the next quarter area or quadrant of your mouth. As I have said before I also love the fact that the brush head is the same shape and motion as the one my dental hygienist uses for my 4 month teeth cleaning.
Using this new Oral B Smart Series 5000 toothbrush increases my time spent brushing, and I feel the technology is mimicking my dentist office, so I feel my teeth getting cleaner!
And, the bonus is, we have a digital clock in the bathroom! In the morning w are like 2 crazed people, we periodically have to run into the bedroom to check the time on the cable box. No more!
