I have the worst teeth cleaning routine in the world. When I first married my man, he was the ULTRA teeth man, brushing AND flossing twice a day. I always hoped his good habits would rub off on me… alas that was not to be, I’m afraid to say that I’ve corrupted him. The last thing I have the energy for at the end of my VERY long day with four kids and multiple jobs is to brush my teeth. Yes, I go to bed all stinky breathed & icky teethed.

If you know me, I love to smile and it’s not a small, dainty, hardly noticeable smile either. It’s an ear to ear, gums showing, full face smile. I have super crowded teeth and they’re not so white anymore… my love of coffee helped to see that happen. A regular toothbrush has never worked well for me because of the overcrowding – if I had dental benefits… I’d love to get braces! Yes, braces! I’ve found that I’m getting embarrassed much easier in my old age and the more I post pictures around cyber-world – I’d love to have a perfect smile!

So when the opportunity to “Make the Switch” with Sonicare came up, I wasted no time at all and signed up! Especially since this is the very same toothbrush that my dentist recommends and that I’ve been drooling over for the past year or so. 🙂

I have UBER sensitive teeth and receding gums. I’ll let you know how my mouth feels after some time using it!

These are a few of the things that I learned about it:

  • There are five power modes: Gum Care, Clean, Refresh, Sensitive and Massage
  • It has a sleek and modern design
  • Patented Sonic Technology – reaches deep between teeth and along the gumline
  • Has an easy to read illuminated display
  • Reliable battery life lasts up to 3 weeks
  • Angled brush head – makes it easy to reach back teeth
  • UV Brush Head Sanitizer – helps keep the brush head free of bacteria
  • Dynamic Cleaning Action – proven to keep teeth naturally whiter
  • It tickles my gums & lips {in a good way} when I use it! 🙂
  • For more information, feel free to visit www.philips.ca

  79. Well I 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. I need to make the switch!
