Guess What? I’m making the switch… back to Philips Sonicare! Yep, I used to be an exclusive user of a Philips Sonicare FlexCare toothbrush, and loved it. Why the stray? Due to much traveling, I opened a couple fresh manual brushes and the frugal {?} me decided to just use them until it was time to toss them. Really, is my dental health worth $3-$4? What was I thinking?!
After all, even my dentist complimented me on my tooth and gums after switching to a Philips electric toothbrush. My own dentist saw the results and was so impressed! Not only that, I loved that clean feel that I got from using an electric toothbrush, there’s just nothing like it. So, these manuals just aren’t cutting it, it’s not the same and my dental health has suffered. Thanks to Mom Central Canada, I am so excited {my teeth are too!} to be switching BACK to a Philips Sonicare FlexCare+ toothbrush, and will report back in a few weeks with my final thoughts.
About the Philips Sonicare FlexCare:
- There are FIVE power modes: Gum Care, Clean, Refresh, Sensitive and Massage
- UV Brush Head Sanitizer – kills up to 99% of bacteria found on brush heads
- Patented Sonic Technology – reaches deep between teeth and along the gumline
- A cool, and sleek design plus easy-to-read illuminated display panel, reliable battery life of three weeks.
- Angled brush head – makes it easier to reach back teeth
- Dynamic Cleaning Action and broader contact which is proven to keep teeth naturally whiter
- For more information, feel free to visit www.philips.ca

MissT says
07/20/2011 at 7:12 pmI just was at the Dentist for a cleaning on Monday. My teeth were so bad especially my gums. I found out I have gingivitis ! My gums were bleeding like crazy she only cleaned with the ultrasonic cleaner and couldn’t finish with the pik. I have to go back in August for another cleaning and one small cavity. I bet if I had this toothbrush my gums would be much tougher and I wouldn’t have tartar (which starts off as plaque). Oh yea My Hygienist ended up lecturing me on my gums. I feel so guilty about my mouth. I was in serious pain when she did my cleaning too.
