All I want for Christmas are my two front teeth

Luckily, I have them!  I can attribute this to my parents, always reminding me to brush and taking me to the dentist every six months for a check-up.  I’m not saying that my teeth are perfect but I do know the importance of brushing.  We’re trying to get our three year old into the good oral hygeine habit now.

As you know, with the holidays comes snacking, snacking and more snacking.  Cookies, candy canes, fudge, you name it.  If you go to someone’s house around the holidays, there is sure to be something to snack on.  All the more reason to remember to BRUSH. YOUR. TEETH.

That being said, we’d like to help.  Oral-B has teamed up with us to offer two lucky readers either an Oral-B Pulsonic Sonic Toothbrush or an Oral-B Triumph

Here are the details of the Oral-B Pulsonic Sonic Toothbrush:

  • Sonic technology: With more than 27,000 vibrations per minute to drive them, Pulsonic’s bristles clean and promote naturally whiter teeth
  • Thin Precision bristles: Promote naturally whiter teeth by gently polishing off surface stains
  • Professional timer: Subtle two-minute timer with 30-second intervals makes it easy to track how long you’ve been brushing each quadrant of your mouth and helps you reach the dental expert-recommended brushing time
  • Two customized brushing modes
    • Clean: Provides effective plaque removal and cleaning of your teeth
    • Sensitive: Offers gentle care of your gums and other sensitive areas
  • Exclusive custom brush head design
    • Pulsonic Brush Head: Contours your teeth to provide an effective clean while remaining gentle on teeth and gums
    • Precision Tip Brush Head: Cleans between teeth in hard-to-reach areas—where stains start—and is also ideal for cleaning around dental work with its Interspace® design
  • Rechargeable: No need to replace batteries

With more than 27,000 gentle sonic vibrations per minute, Pulsonic’s bristles clean and promote naturally whiter teeth while allowing maximum maneuverability and control with the slim and lightweight handle design.

Here are the details of the Oral-B Triumph with SmartGuide Toothbrush:

  • Improves gum health: Helps prevent and reverse gingivitis
  • Provides ultimate plaque removal
  • Delivers superior teeth whitening and polishing action in 21 days*
  • Penetrates between teeth to sweep away plaque for a floss-like clean**
  • Helps reduce excessive brushing force, which can lead to gum recession, by up to 88% in only 30 days†
  • Helps you brush for two minutes

The Oral-B Triumph with SmartGuide is the first and only power toothbrush that uses a wireless digital display to help improve your brushing habits. It also has sensor to tell you if you’re brushing too hard and alerts you when it’s time to change the brush head
