Technology is a fairly large part of my life. I use it daily not only for entertainment purposed like watching shows, surfing the Internet, and streaming music, but also in my home for temperature control, leak detecting, and more. Creating a smart home is important to me because it allows me some freedom while helping me pay close attention to details. When I discovered the NEW Philips Sonicare FlexCare Platinum Connected Toothbrush at Bed Bath & Beyond, I knew I could benefit from having a little extra guidance in my oral health department. A few months back, I was (literally!) knocked on my rear when a cavity abscessed, requiring several dental appointments and expensive oral surgery. I’m not sure I ever took my oral health as seriously as I should have before that painful abscess. Now that I’m aware, I ensure I keep my choppers in tip-top shape with regular care and effective tools including the NEW Philips Sonicare FlexCare Connected Toothbrush. While there are several benefits to using a smart toothbrush, these three reasons why I use a smart toothbrush were my favorite benefits and ultimately helped me decided to make the switch.
Real-time Feedback
The NEW Philips Sonicare FlexCare Connected Toothbrush grants me easy access to personalized, real-time feedback through the free Philips Sonicare app. I can actually see where I’m brushing and where I need to pay more attention. The app gives me real-time visuals and information like how good of a brusher I am, if I’ve missed any spots while brushing, and even if I’m applying too much pressure or using an excessive scrubbing motion. This is so helpful because there are always one or two spots my dentist will have to scrape extra plaque out of when I visit her and she remarks how most people forget those places. I’m hoping that at my next visit, she won’t have to do any extra scraping!
Timing Monitor
I’m going to admit that I never brush my teeth for the full two minutes that’s recommended. It just seems like I cover all the areas I need to in much less time. I love that the FlexCare app times me and lets me know when I’m actually finished brushing rather than when I think I’m done. Two minutes is much longer than I realized!
Goal Setting for Oral Health
Achieving my healthiest smile yet is easy with the FlexCare. I can set and track my own daily goals (whiter teeth, healthier gums) with personalized coaching, tips and alerts to help me meet them. I can also focus on trouble areas that my dentist identified, such as gum recession or plaque buildup.
Using technology for helping me to achieve my goal for better oral health has been a natural next step for me as someone who enjoys applying technology for a smarter life. The NEW Philips Sonicare FlexCare Connected Toothbrush promises up to 10x more plaque removal and healthier gums in just two weeks by using these features to aid in achieving oral health goals. For me, the experience has helped to create better brushing habits by showing me where I’m lacking and where I’m doing well so I can adjust accordingly.
