Review: Oral B SmartSeries 5000

I recently started using the Oral B SmartSeries 5000 Rechargeable Toothbrush. And I promise you, unless you too are using this toothbrush, my teeth are healthier than yours.

Bold statement I know. But I have to tell you, IT ROCKS.

For those of you who don't know, my mom is a dental hygienist, and she keeps me up on the latest and greatest oral health products. So if you don't like to floss, buy REACH Ultraclean from Johnson & Johnson, it slides easy.

So what's so great about my toothbrush, that I feel the need to tell the world about it? It comes with two brush heads (gentle and "FlossAction") and a clock. The clock times your brushing for the dentist-recommeded 2 minutes (now when was the last time you brushed for 2 minutes?). It also has a visual guide for while you brush, and shows which quadrant you should brush and when to move on to the next. When I'm done, I feel like I just got my teeth professional cleaned.

Other Features

• Deep Clean mode removes up to 99.7% of plaque from hard to reach areas
• Gentle on teeth and gums
• Improves gum health better than Sonicare FlexCare
• Outstanding whitening and polishing in 3 weeks
• Flossaction technology for superior overall clean
  

It retails for $105.99. Your teeth are worth it. It can save you a painful visit at the dentist's office,  and it's a whole lot cheaper than the cost of a sealant, cavity or root canal.
