“I
can’t
shut
up
about
this
toothbrush,”
writes
a
reviewer
named

Susanna,
who
took
the
words
out
of
my
mouth.

The
toothbrush
in
question?
The

Mouthwatchers
flossing
brush.
Reviewers

can’t
believe
they’re
waxing
eloquent
about
a
manual
toothbrush,
and
I
can’t
either.
But
this
isn’t
your
run-of-the-mill
dental
product.
It
even
earned
a

HuffPost
Shopping
Award
in
the
wellness
category.

Designed
by
Boston-based
dentist

Dr.
Ronald
Plotka,
the
brush’s
genius
lies
in
its
top
layer
of
extra-thin
bristles,
10
times
thinner
than
typical
bristles.
This
feature
helps
clean
deeper,
yet
gently,
into
grooves
and
gums.

The
result
is
a
super-clean,
“like
leaving
the
dentist
clean”
feeling
after
every
go-round
—
so
much
so
that
reviewers,

to
their
surprise,
are
getting
excited
about
brushing
their
teeth
and
describing
the
toothbrush
as
“magic.”
Same
here.
I’d
been
eying
this
brush
for
months,
putting
off
trying
it
due
to
my
intense

dislike
of
spending
money.
Once
I
finally
did,
I
wished
I’d
done
so
sooner.

Rarely
does
an
item
elicit
an
actual
wow
from
me.
Yet,
as
a
reviewer
named

Christie
writes,
“Here
we
are.”

Within
about
a
week
of
switching
from
a
regular
brush
to
this
one,
my
previously
coffee-stained
teeth
looked
markedly
whiter,
my
plaque
was
less
visible
and
my
gums
looked
healthier.

My
mouth
also
feels
remarkably
cleaner,
a
result
that
reviewers
echo.
I
can’t
help
but
feel
that
this
model
is
toothbrushing
the
way
it
should
be.

One
reviewer
named

Cole
sums
it
up
nicely:
“Ever
since
I
started
using
Dr.
Plotkas
I
simply
cannot
tolerate
another
brand
of
toothbrush
…
I
recently
traveled
and
did
not
switch
out
my
travel
brush
with
this
product.
I
felt
like
I
was
brushing
my
teeth
with
rubber
spikes.
It
was
the
longest
week
ever.”

Reviewers’
families
are
a
little
taken
aback
by
this
fervor
(as
may
be
my
editor,
whom
I’ve
pestered
about
this
life-changing
toothbrush
for
longer
than
I’m
proud
of).
But
no
matter:
It’s
only
a
matter
of
time
before
everyone
else
becomes
stalwarts,
too,
reviewers
say.
“I
have
converted
everyone
in
my
family,”
writes
Cole,
and
another
person

says
they
plan
to
gift
the
brushes
to
family
members
“so
they’ll
stop
looking
at
me
like
I’m
a
little
bit
off
for
talking
about
my
toothbrush.”

It’s
a
clear
new
staple
for
me,
and
more
than
worth
the
extra
few
dollars.

Grab
a

two-pack
of
the
flossing
toothbrushes
to
try
for
yourself.
Still
thinking?

“I’ve
tried
various
types
of
toothbrushes
over
the
years,
both
electric
and
manual
and
this
brush
is
by
far
the
best!
It
does
feel
bigger
in
my
mouth
than
most
others,
BUTTT

it
cleans
SOOO
well!
Dare
I
say
better
than
any
electric
brush
I’ve
ever
tried.

My
teeth
feel
like
I’ve
just
had
a
professional
cleaning!”

“Ok,

I
never
leave
reviews,
but
this
one
is
worth
it.
I
almost
returned
these
toothbrushes
before
using
them
solely
based
on
the
fact
that
they
don’t
look
very
special.
My
name-brand
toothbrush
looks
fancier.
But
I
read
the
reviews
again
and
decided
to
keep
them.

To
my
surprise,
this
is
the
best
toothbrush
I’ve
ever
used.
I
have
severe
plaque
issues
and
had
a
dentist
appointment
a
few
weeks
ago,
so
I’m
trying
to
keep
my
teeth
as
clean
as
possible.
I
use
special
toothpaste,
special
mouthwash,
and
brush
and
floss
twice
a
day.
I’ve
tried
every
toothbrush
under
the
sun.
Seriously,
I
will
be
ordering
these
frequently,
as

the
bristles,
clean
my
teeth
so
well
and
are
gentle
on
my
very
sensitive
gums.
My
partner
even
commented
how
clean
his
teeth
felt
after
the
first
brush.
So,
there
ya
go.
That’s
my
honest
review
of
an
ugly,
yet
highly-effective
toothbrush
that
I’ll
be
purchasing
again
very
soon.
Cheers!”

“Amazing,

even
better
than
an
electric
toothbrush.
My
teeth
feel
cleaner
and
my
gum
irritation
is
calming
down
and
I
have
only
been
using
this
toothbrush
for
a
day
and
a
half.”

“This

cleans
so
well
yet
is
gentle
enough
for
my
older
lightly
receding
gums.
The
bristles
are
very
fine
and
cleans
between
teeth
a
bit.
Don’t
know
how
deep
so
I’m
continuing
to
use
my
floss.
It’s
got
a
good
bigger
rubberized
grip
which
makes
this

comfortable
to
hold.
Does
not
slip.
My
gums
love
the
brush
too!
I
don’t
travel
much
but
if
needed
can
slip
it
into
a
plastic
travel
case.

I’ll
be
stocking
up
on
these!”

“I

never
thought
I
would
write
a
review
for
a
toothbrush,
but
this
is
the
best
toothbrush
I
have
ever
bought.
It
feels
sturdy
and
yet
so
soft
and

makes
my
teeth
feel
so
clean.
I
will
definitely
buy
more!”
