Oral B close up

Can you handle the tooth about the Oral-B 5000?

We were asked to try out the Oral-B Professional Care SmartSeries 5000.  As a simple man I sometimes distrust seemingly simple devices with complicated names.  “If any product really was labeled as improved, than the previous incarnation must not have been that good”, is what my inner non-trusting self would say.

To be fair the Oral-B 5000 doesn’t market itself as new or improved, it just is.  It’s the most technologically advanced toothbrush that Oral-B makes and can remove up to twice as much plaque as a regular brush.    I’ve since learned that removing plaque is the key ingredient towards preventing and reversing gingivitis.

My dental habits were good before using the Oral-B 5000.  I used the power toothbrush twice a day and flossed once a day.  I still brush and floss the same number of times, but my brushing is more thorough, my teeth feel better, are whiter and I’m smiling more!  It’s not that I was a non-smiling grouse before, but now that my teeth are visibly whiter, I’ve noticed that I smile more.

I was walking around the block the other day just smiling.  Granted it was a pretty day, but I was full on smiling, ear to ear with my teeth showing.  I know that the Whitening setting I’ve been brushing on is the reason for my teeth being whiter.  It’s the same tooth paste; the only difference is the brush.

The timer and toothbrush work very easily together.  You don’t need to use the timer to look at, at the end of :30 your brush ‘beeps’, which means that you should go to the next quadrant and brush.  During each quadrant just brush the front, top and backs of your teeth.  At the end of 2:00 your brush gives a longer ‘beep’ and the timer has a smiley face on it.

When you don’t brush your teeth for a day or two your teeth feel amazing when you brush them, don’t they?  Your teeth feel that amazing after every time you use the Oral-B 5000.   It’s deep cleaning, gentle on the gums and its effects are immediately felt.

Bottom line:  The Oral-B 5000 is a blessing to my mouth and teeth.  It makes them feel better, cleaner and its effects are evident to others after a couple weeks.   Oral-B is having a $10 mail-in rebate on select power toothbrushes through June 16, 2012, just visit OralB.com.   You can also follow them on Twitter or Facebook

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Dad Central Consulting on behalf of Oral-B and received a product sample to facilitate my review and a promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.  All thoughts are my own.
