Clean mode is standard for a deep cleaning. The three modes go with three different intensities, Clean, White, and Gum Care. Then I use the water flosser and feel like I end up with the same all over clean I get from the dentist’s office. I like the fact it uses sonic technology that pulses between your teeth to get everything that might be tucked in there.

It helps break down plaque build-up, it’s gentle on sensitive areas, orthodontics & dental work like the fillings I have, you can choose between three modes which I like, and is supposed to improve gum health up to 100% over a manual toothbrush.

Make sure you go to their website here to get the full spectrum of what it can do, but here are some of the top benefits to using this electric toothbrush. Those were factors in my decision to buy this one, but from a hygienic standpoint it only made sense to go with the 5100 series. Not only does this say it holds a charge for 14 days and I swear it’s more like 30 days, but it comes with a hard travel case that holds the toothbrush and two heads. It does come with one plastic head that I used first and worked fine, but after that I used the Pl us Ultra heads moving forward. I was also looking for something that was available to buy here in town to save on shipping and was lucky enough to find this one at Walmart for cheaper than the Philip’s website. I had a budget of under $100 and was looking for something with several positive customer reviews and features I couldn’t get from a standard toothbrush. Once I found Pl us Ultra and found out they currently only have Philips Sonicare compatible heads, I knew what brand I was going to narrow it down to.

It just made sense to get a toothbrush sanitizer with all we know about leaving your toothbrush exposed in our bathrooms, but I get into its other benefits below.īefore I could find an electric toothbrush to buy, I had to find the compostable heads first. They are the same company I got my ONA Diamond Facial Brush and multi pack of brushes that I reviewed in my Face Cleansing Products and Tools blog post found here. Lastly, to go along with the new toothbrush, heads, and water flosser, I ended up getting the Germ Shield UV Toothbrush Sanitizer from TAO Clean. I am confident I have found long lasting, quality products I plan on using for years to come. I finally came to terms with the fact that my oral care was more important than the potential plastic waste. Even though it is made from plastic, it is rechargeable and comes with an extended warranty if needed. Below I will review the one I have and why I think everyone should get one. Awhile back I invested in the DuraPik which I talk about here, and even though I like using it, there is something about the clean feeling I get from the water flosser that reminds me of the trips to the dentist. On another recommendation from my dentist and hygienist, I also got a water flosser since I have issues flossing with my small mouth and getting to the back teeth without a floss wand. It feels great knowing that my toothpowder is plastic free, cheap and easy to make, and actually works. Since making the switch to using these heads and my Philips Sonicare electric toothbrush, my dentist visits have come up with zero issues! They also gave me the stamp of approval on my toothpowder recipe found here, just like my last dentist in Minnesota. It’s not 100% zero waste but is as close as I can get it right now and my teeth and gums don’t suffer.

Just like a bamboo brush, once you take the bristles and metal from the head, you can compost the rest of the toothbrush head. After some research, I quickly found out about Pl us Ultra and their amazing electric toothbrush head replacements are made of eco-friendly, biodegradable cornstarch. I mentioned that to my dental hygienist, and she thought there were eco-friendly toothbrush head replacements that would be a good swap out. Now this was exactly what I was trying to avoid when it came to waste, with plastic toothbrush heads that just get thrown in the landfill. I have always used medium bristles and after a dentists visit earlier in the year where we found I had a couple of cavities, the dentist recommended I get an electronic toothbrush.

I quickly found out that for whatever reason, bamboo toothbrushes only come with soft or extra soft bristles. I even did a blog post about my favorite brand which I still love and use many of their other products I have talked about before. Early on in my vegan/plant based journey, I knew I wanted to use bamboo toothbrushes so I could compost them.
