Super Teeth

I have a huge minor obsession with teeth. It's the first thing I notice about people, and I appreciate good dental hygiene very much.

I worked hard for my pearly whites -- think FIVE years of braces. So, I try and take great care of them now, i.e. brushing twice a day, flossing, mouthwashing...you know the drill.

Well, the last couple of times I've been to the dentist she recommended getting a Sonicare toothbrush. She explained their awesomeness and suggested it would be a good idea, especially because of my love for coffee and wine.

I smiled and nodded but really thought no thanks. I mean who needs a ridiculously expensive toothbrush and how much better could it actually be?

This is the product description of my new love on Amazon...The Sonicare Essence series rechargable power toothbrush removes 80% of coffee, tea, and tobacco stains. Only Sonicare combines 31,000 brush strokes per minute and extra-wide sweeping motion to create dynamic fluid cleaning action. Sonicare improves gum health by reversing gingivitis and shrinking periodontal pockets. Whiter teeth and healthier gums in 28 days guaranteed.

Michael and I were in Costco last weekend, and they had a Sonicare two pack on sale. Michael's had one of these babies before so he was surprisingly (he's cheap) interested in getting them. So, I thought, whatever, I'll give it a whirl.

I did, and it has changed my life. OK, that may be a tad dramatic, but seriously it's amazing. The first time I used it, it tickled so bad I thought I may have to return the dang thing. I am very ticklish. BUT, I stuck with it and now I couldn't be happier. To say that it cleans my teeth better than a regular ole toothbrush is a huge understatement. It feels like I've gotten my teeth cleaned at the dentist every time I use it.

So, if you are passionate about lovely teeth or if you've been considering taking the leap, I highly recommend it. You won't regret your decision.
