| erin5oaks's Full Review: Sonicare Plus Model Pl 3 Sonic Electric Toothbrush |
My daughter now has 5,000 dollars worth of orthodontics in her mouth. I feel like it is a major investment that requires the best care we can find. The Sonicare Plus Electric Toothbrush is part of her new oral care routine.
I really do not think it is possible to get your teeth as clean with a manual toothbrush and flossing. This amazing electric toothbrush goes at an amazing 31,000 stokes every minute. I know that is not possible for me to do by hand.
This toothbrush comes with two different heads so that two people can use it. If you have more people in your family you can purchase more heads. I like the fact that the two that came with the unit were different colors so we can tell them apart.
There is also a stand to place the unit in when you are not using it. It helps keep the sink clean and uncluttered.
I want to save you from the mess I experienced when I first used this toothbrush. You wouldn't think that you would need such specific instructions for a toothbrush, BUT, I had a huge mess the first time I tried the Sonicare Plus toothbrush. You must wet the toothbrush before you put on the toothpaste. I think it makes the toothpaste stick more easily and it is also easier on your gums. Put only a small dollop of toothpaste. When you are ready to start put your toothbrush in your mouth before you turn on the toothbrush. IF you do not put the toothbrush in your mouth first you will have toothpaste all over your bathroom mirror, sink, etc.
I really enjoy the fact that I do not have to scrub my teeth. The Sonic toothbrush just glides across my teeth. It is also easier on my gums than a manual toothbrush. My daughter swears that all of the "stuff" that gets into her braces is easy to remove when she uses this toothbrush vs. the manual toothbrush she takes with her to school.
A wonderful feature of this toothbrush is the timer. Every thirty seconds you will hear a beep that reminds you to do another quarter of your mouth. The whole process only takes two minutes which is the time that dentists recommend you brush your teeth.
If you have not used an electric toothbrush before you will like the feature that for the first twelve uses it gradually builds up the intensity so you are not overwhelmed when you first try use this electric toothbrush and stop using it.
I like the easy grip handle which does not slip out of your hand even when it gets wet. It is also easy to use for me in either hand. There are also little stickers that you can write the date on which the brush head needs to be replaced. I like this reminder.
We are very happy with the results with this toothbrush. I feel like our breathe is fresher and our teeth look cleaner. The dentist has said he noticed a reduction in our plaque.
We bought this toothbrush at our local drug store on sale for seventy five dollars. I have seen them as expensive as one hundred and ten dollars. This may seem a high price to pay but if you consider that I pay twenty five dollars a tooth to have them sealed and a cavity costs forty five dollars a piece at my dentist this is a great investment for our teeth.
My daughter wants to make sure that she doesn't end up with stained teeth when she has her braces removed. This toothbrush is one of the things she is using in conjunction to changing her eating habits to making sure she has beautiful teeth in two years when her braces are off.
The charging unit has a long cord so you have the ability to move it around your vanity. The toothbrush holds a charge for about ten times of use for us. You don't have to worry about ruining the battery if you keep it in the charger plugged in. It has always held its charge for at least two of us when we go away for the weekend. It has a convenient cap to use when traveling.
This is a keeper at our house. The Sonicare Plus Model PL-3 Sonic Electric Toothbrush is one that I recommend to all my family and friends.
