A Review: Oral B Professional Precision Is The Bomb!

By Deanna

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 ModernMom.com and Oral B gave me the chance 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 tooth brush, 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 and I didn’t want my first experience to be real clinical or use a too technical toothbrush.

 

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 basically tell me what to do - to switch to another quadrant of your mouth, I didn’t believe it or 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 either. 

 

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 I felt the pulsating of brush change, 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 motor 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 lets you know when your battery is 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 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, and I am buying this for my husband for one of his Christmas presents.....sshhhh don't tell him!  And yes, I'm actually thinking of Christmas!
 

Thanks Oral-B and ModernMom!
