Several weeks ago, I was selected to review an Oral-B Professional Care 1000 Rechargeable Toothbrush. Reviewing a toothbrush was not #1 on the list of products that I’d “love” to try, but I use one everyday – so after thinking about it … I decided to see what the “big difference” was.

The toothbrush I received was an electric toothbrush. I’ve never used one in my life, so I was excited to try it. However, upon doing some initial research, I discovered that this Oral-B rechargeable brush retails for around $80. As thrifty as I am, I absolutely could not EVER imagine spending $50 on a toothbrush. Since starting The Grocery Game, I’ve stocked up at least 30 toothbrushes and I haven’t paid more than a quarter for any of them!

I’ve been using the toothbrush for about 3 weeks now. Since they sent two different brush heads, Don has been using it as well. We both LOVE it. The charger is relatively small and sits on our vanity without being obtrusive. I haven’t left the brush off of the charger yet, so I can’t comment on how long it stays charged.

You know how your teeth feel after the hygienist cleans them during an office visit? That’s how your teeth will feel after using this brush. Both Don and myself have commented that we are brushing longer. I don’t know why that is, but we are …

If you are in the market for this type of toothbrush or if a dentist has recommended that you go to an electric toothbrush, I HIGHLY recommend this model. I have a dentist appointment in a couple of weeks and I can’t wait to see if my dentist notices anything different.

My gums feel fabulous … and I guarantee, I’ve never said that before!

Disclaimer: I was not paid for this review, however I did receive the product free of charge. This is my true opinion of the Oral-B Professional Care 1000 as of 1/9/2010.
