Philips Sonicare R710 HealthyWhite Power Toothbrush
January 7th, 2010 by admin
This was my first Sonicare Toothbrush that I bought after reading some of some of the positive reviews here. I was replacing an old Braun that I had for over 10 years. This one seems to have more and faster movements of the brush and it does a better job of cleaning my teeth.
You know that feeling after you come out of the dentist’s office for a cleaning where your teeth have that polished, smooth feeling when you run your tongue over them? Well, even after the first time using this toothbrush my teeth felt that way. My old toothbrush never did that. After using it for a few weeks my teeth looked whiter to me. Now I never did a real test, like brushing one half with this toothbrush and one half with the old, but when I look at myself in the mirror, I can see a difference.
I like the timer thingy on this toothbrush. I thought it would be like a bell or a beep, but it’s more like a little pause after each of four 30 second segments. So you do each area of your mouth for 30 seconds and then if you want to do the “whitening” segment, you push the bottom button and it’ll time those segments. This part is a different type of vibration or movement that is supposed to do an even better job of polishing your teeth. I don’t know if it’s this part or just spending enough time on each section, but it works. My teeth feel cleaner and look whiter.
Another thing that I noticed with this toothbrush is that my gums don’t bleed when brushing my teeth anymore. I’ve had that problem for probably the last 30 years, whether I used my old Braun electric toothbrush or whether I brushed my teeth by hand. After the first couple days with this toothbrush it just stopped. I’m not sure if it’s because of the texture of the brush or if it’s just contributes to the health of my gums, but it’s a nice bonus.
The toothbrush is very easy to clean and the brushes snap on and off very easily. It’s lightweight which makes it easy to use and it’s reasonably quiet for a power toothbrush. I’m completely sold on this brand. When I need to replace it at some point, it will be with another Philips Sonicare product. Two thumbs up!
