Oral-B Professional Care 3000


Product retails for £99.99 (Boots.com)




"The Oral-B Braun Professional Care 3000 Electric Toothbrush removes twice as much plaque as an ordinary manual toothbrush*, and has received the British Health Foundation GOLD endorsement."-Online product description.


You must think I am off my nut spending £100 for a toothbrush. I'm not going to lie to you, I picked it up for £44.99 last Christmas (2013) after hearing some great reviews about it. I picked it up from Boots (for the points) with some money I had left over from Christmas. I wasn't going to do it considering it was only a toothbrush, like I could have bought a fab pair of shoes or a cute jacket in the sale.
      Any who, I picked it up and I don't regret it for one second. It's amazing!! My teeth have never ever ever felt so clean. I don't wanna sound cheesy and annoying but you do truly get a dentist clean feeling!! 


It comes with this cute, handy stand, where you can hold up to four toothbrush heads and it's where your toothbrush can live when you're not using it. The charging dock clicks in to the stand (as shown above) or can be taken out if you don't want the toothbrush holder part, if that makes sense. The charger is this little plastic waterproof thing that your toothbrush stands nicely on. Only trouble is, the plug is one of those shaver plugs, so it won't fit into the normal plug sockets. However, you can easily pick some adapters up at some larger Boots stores or you can pick them up at Argos (I paid £5 for two at Argos).


 When I purchased this toothbrush it came with the three brush heads shown in the little piccy above. To my knowledge there is also a sensitive brush that you can purchase that also fits this toothbrush. The FlossAction brush head (far left) is "for deep cleaning between teeth" and boy doesn't it mean it!! This is probably my favourite brush out of the three!! After using it, it feels as if I have been to the dentist for a good polish. My teeth feel all clean and fresh and fabulous after I use it!! The 3D White brush head (middle) is for "advanced cleaning and whitening". This, sadly, is my least favourite out of the three. I currently have braces:( and the little metal buttons on my teeth stop the little plastic thing in the middle of the brush head from touching my teeth. Really it defeats the object of the brush, so I can't really give a good review of this head. However, I can tell you that this brush head is not for you and it pretty pointless for any other poor little sufferers of braces. The Precision Clean brush head (far right) "cups each tooth for cleaner teeth, healthier gums vs. a regular manual toothbrush". I love this brush head too!!! This gives me a super clean feeling and it sooooo much better than a standard manual brush. It gets rid of any plaque that you may have on your teeth and it just fabulous on a whole!! The only problem I have with all the brushes is that I find they don't last as long as a standard toothbrush head and they can be pretty pricey, but they are amazing!!



A big problem with manual brushes is that you have no idea if you're brushing too soft or too hard. It's a pain, right? Brushing too hard can cause some serious gum damage and can lead to gum problems later in life, and we don't want that!! Another simple, but genius idea Oral-B has added is a little pressure indicator light. If you're pressing too hard on your teeth while brushing, this light gives a bright flash to let you know you need to calm down. It's your gums bestie and is genius!! What I tend to do is increase the pressure when I brush and keep that pressure just before the light flashes. That way I know I am brushing hard enough to get rid of all those nasty germs but I am keeping my gums in tip-top condition too. Amaze all around really!!


This essential gizmo also comes with two more snazzy lights! The top one (in the picture) flashes when your toothbrush needs a good sleep on the charger. The one below it flashes when the toothbrush is on charge on and just stays alight when the toothbrush is fully charged and is ready to make your teeth pearly white again!! The great thing is your brush can never ever over charge, so you can leave it on charge all the time and it won't have the slightest negative impact. Fabulous!! Only thing I find a slight problem is that it takes a good while to fully charge. It isn't essential that it is fully charged each time but I find it's most powerful and gives the cleaner feeling when it is used with a full battery.

This brush also has three modes: daily clean, sensitive and polish. I obviously use daily clean twice daily, and I also use the polish mode once or twice weekly. I kind of neglect using the sensitive mode as my teeth on't really need it, but I am sure it is just as wonderful as the other two modes! 

Oral-B also claim that it removes surface stains for naturally cleaner teeth. I agree that it does make teeth whiter but don't expect a Hollywood smile after using this brush.

They also say it will remove " twice as much plaque as a regular manual toothbrush". I 100% agree with this. Obviously, I don't for sure if it is twice as much but it is hell of a lot more!! I done a little test shortly after buying this miracle and found that my teeth felt and looked 10000 times cleaner when using this toothbrush compared to a standard manual toothbrush.

Finally, it also comes with a 2 year limited warranty and if you're not completely satisfied after 30 days of use, you can get your money back. Obviously terms and conditions apply but it's pretty amazing, right?

Overall, I would completely recommend this toothbrush to anyone! It's amazing and I don't think I will ever go back to a manual tooth brush again! I sometimes have to use a manual brush if I am over a friends or on a flight and you can seriously feel how much better this electric toothbrush is  compared to my manual brush! Honestly, I could not speak any better about this brush and how much a of a god send it is for your teeth. Your dentist will love you for using it!! It's almost always half price too!! I've been having a little nose on the web and I have found that it is currently half price in Argos and I am sure it will be half price else where too!

While on my little wonder on the web I came across some amazing reviews about it too!! I could easily say that over 90% of the reviews I read where positive ones (fabulous), so don't only take my word for it, take theirs too!! This is probably one of my favourite little beauty must haves and I would completely recommend you getting yourself one too!

Thanks for reading guys!
