Phillips Sonicare Flexcare Toothbrush with UV Sanitizer: Product Review

Sonicare has outdone themselves with this toothbrush! Not only will you get superior cleaning, stain removal and overall improved oral hygiene, you also get a built in UV sanitizer that kills up to 99% of certain bacteria and viruses that lurk on your toothbrush, and a rechargeable battery that will last for the lifetime of the product. A travel case for the toothbrush is also included.

Sonicare is already the #1 recommended power toothbrush brand by dental professionals, and this latest Sonicare model, Flexcare, features even more effective, innovative technology.

The Flexcare tooth brush features five brushing modes, allowing you to brush the way you want to brush. The first brushing mode is 'clean', it is the standard mode for superior cleaning. Next is the 'sensitive' mode, for a gentle and thorough cleaning for sensitive teeth and gums. The 'massage' mode offers gentle gum stimulation to promote gum health. The 'Go Care' mode offers a one minute brushing cycle in the 'clean' mode, and the 'Max Care' mode is the best of the best, which offers a three minute cycle which alternately combines 30 seconds of brushing and 15 seconds of massage.

The Max Care mode leaves your teeth and mouth feeling like you just left the dental hygienist chair after a cleaning.

The vibrations of this power brush are much different than any other electric or battery operated brush that I have used in the past. It is a very gentle sensation, in each of the five brushing modes. The Flexcare does not leave your gums or teeth feeling as though they have been assaulted with steel wool, it just leaves a tingly clean, fresh feeling in your mouth.

Now that's the features of the power toothbrush, let's look at what the UV sanitizer is and what it does.
