Product Review: Oral-B ProfessionalCare SmartSeries 5000 with SmartGuide Electric Toothbrush

The Oral-B electric toothbrush provides professional care that will most likely make going to the dentist for tooth polishing and whitening obsolete. It is beautifully packaged with an electric toothbrush, three power heads with storage cases, a wireless SmartGuide timer (which also doubles for a digital clock), travel case, holding base, a portable chargeable with a rechargeable battery.

Oral-B electric toothbrush provides 5 cleaning modes: Daily Clean, Sensitive, Whitening, Massage, Deep Clean, and promises to remove 99.7% plaque even in areas regular toothbrushes cannot reach. Oral-B power toothbrushes are ergonomically shaped for easy use; this was perfect for me because of a wrist injury and pain. I was able to perform each mode, for the recommended time, pain-free and with ease.

Oral-B professional care is perfect for smokers who have tar stained brownish teeth and discolored gums. I am a smoker and I can definitely tell the difference after using my electric toothbrush for the trial period. Not only does Oral-B power toothbrush whiten teeth and clean tongues, it also helps with bad breath. The massage function feels great for the gums, it promotes increased circulation, which also decreases the discoloration and improves gum health.

The cleaning action provides an astonishing 40,000 pulsations and 8,800 oscillations per minute! You don't have to worry about brushing too hard because this smart electric toothbrush has a pressure sensor that will actually warn you by stopping the brushing action. In addition, in order to assure you have spent enough time on each area of the mouth (four quadrants), the wireless SmartGuide timer will prompt and guide you with 30-second intervals.

With regular toothbrushes, people tend to use them until they fall apart but with the Oral-B SmartSeries 5000 electric toothbrush, you will receive signals to replace the brush head every 3 months. It gives you a signal when the need to replace the head is within 10 days. Now, that's smart! The 3 attachable brush heads are Pro White for whitening teeth, Oral-B FlossAction for excellent cleaning, and Oral-B Sensitive which is great for those who have to use soft toothbrushes due to bleeding gums or other dental diseases. Other types of brush heads may be purchased separately.

I went to an Italian restaurant and ate a nice meal laced with garlic but I did not worry about my breath because my Oral-B power toothbrush comes with a travel case and rechargeable battery that fits into my purse. With the timer set at 3 minutes, I was able to go perform my brushing technique without being missed. Once home, my electric toothbrush goes into its base and the heads in their storage case. The battery life is 2 weeks but the SmartSeries comes with a portable charger and charging station.

The Oral-B ProfessionalCare SmartSeries 5000 with SmartGuide Electric Toothbrush comes with a 2-year warranty and because of the company's commitment to its product; there is a 60-day full refund guarantee if you are not 100% satisfied. I am keeping mine, anything to avoid too many trips to the dentist.
