While I have my trusty manual toothbrush that I use daily, I don’t always feel like it is getting my teeth as clean as they could be. I like using electric toothbrushes but never really found “the one” to make me switch.

I just finished using the Oral-B® Professional Precision™ 5000 rechargeable power toothbrush for two weeks and I have to say, I really like it!  No, actually, I tried it and I loved it!

The Oral-B® Professional Precision™ 5000 rechargeable power toothbrush has a smaller head than your standard manual toothbrush. I had a bit of a hard time getting used to that. The smaller size made me feel like I wasn’t going to get as clean teeth. This  It is like a super charged toothbrush with oscillating, rotating and pulsating movements.

After I tried it the first time, my gums felt all tingly. But in a good way. They felt clean! And my teeth felt clean, smooth and were very shiny. It has sort of a safety measure so you can’t push too hard. It will literally bog down and stop spinning if you push even a little too hard. So you really can’t brush too hard. You have to let the spinning action do the work which minimized any irritation to my gums.

I’m a heavy tea drinker so anything that can remove tea stains from my teeth is a winner in my book. And the Oral-B® Professional Precision™ 5000 rechargeable power toothbrush did just that!

Disclosure: I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour by Modern Mom on behalf of Oral-B and received a product sample to facilitate my review.

I recently attending the The Big Toy Book’s Biggest Day of Holiday Play in New York. This was part of my connection with the BloggerConnection Network

During this Day I was introduced to one of the newest holiday electronics the  Boogie Board tablet.

The Boogie Board has to be the coolest new gadget. Anywhere that you would write notes- on the go, in the car, your desk… the list goes on and on. It’s most like a dry erase board, except you don’t need a special pen to use it, and it erases at the click of a button! It is like magic, I have no idea how it works. LOL. But it does, and it’s fabulous. It’s a great writing tablet for kids– would be great for scratch work for homework. I have started keeping it in my purse, so I can use it if I need, but it’s also great for entertaining my boys when we’re out at the doctors or elsewhere waiting. Thanks, Improv Electronics!

Things that are special with this product

• Erase your image with the touch of a button – and a friendly flash from the liquid crystal display – COOL!
