Oral-B® Professional Precision™ 1000 Review

I hate the dentist, not my actual dentist I love her I just hate having to go to the dentist.  A tooth ache is probably the most painful thing a human can go through, well maybe not the most painful, but certainly worse than my c-sections, in my opinion anyway.  I guess I’ve had just too many dentist visits, way too many root canals, too many teeth being pulled, and my fair share of oral surgery.

So, when the chance came to review the Oral-B® Professional Precision™ 1000 electronic toothbrush I literally jumped at it – if there is a tool out there that will get me to a place of great oral health, I needed to check it out.  I was nervous and hesitant to try such a sophisticated toothbrush, I’ve been using the standard toothbrush for so long, I really didn’t know what to expect, and since I’m not a fan of the dentist, I was nervous that my first experience with an electronic toothbrush would be real clinical or too technical.

I have to be honest; I was a little skeptic, especially after thoroughly reading the directions, twice! The warnings of possible bleeding gum, and that the toothbrush was going to “signal” me and tell me basically what to do - to switch to another quadrant of your mouth,I was lost, I didn’t think there would be any way I could distinguish the sounds of the motor on this toothbrush, and truth be told, I didn’t think I’d feel the change of the brush rotating as well.

BUT I WAS WRONG! 

This toothbrush is fantastic!  Using the toothbrush is easy, the instructions are based on the dentist recommendations that you should brush for 2 minutes, which equals 30 seconds of brushing for each quadrant of your mouth; the toothbrush actually hesitates a little to signal you that it’s time to brush the next quadrant, and you can actually feel the pulse of the toothbrush change, these signals are great because most times I brush in the shower to save time, and sometimes I’m in la-la land, so when the feel of the brush changed, I knew it was time to brush another quadrant of my mouth.  In the shower or out I was able to easily distinguish when to move to the next section of my mouth, I really couldn’t believe how easy this toothbrush is to use!  The motors is not too loud, and the head of the toothbrush is a smaller than what I am normally use to but the way the head rotates and pulsates it actually takes the plaque off your teeth and whisks it away, giving you a far better clean than a traditional toothbrush.

The charger/recharger base is a small unit that can easily fit on a sink counter, or in a medicine cabinet, it hardly takes up any room, which is great, especially with my limited space. I loved that a warning light let me know when the battery was starting to fade,  although the directions are comprehensive, the toothbrush is really easy to use, it’s also easy to handle, and not heavy at all, it’s basically dummy proof!  

With every brush I feel like my teeth feel are as clean as they are when I get out of the dentist hygienist chair, which is the best feeling ever!  I absolutely love it, I love is to much, I am buying this for my husband for one of his Christmas presents. 

Thanks Oral-B and Modern Mom!
