Y’all, I have found the BEST toothbrush EVER!
I have always brushed my teeth and gone to the dentist regularly. Ever since I had braces as an adult, I have been much more diligent. Some may even say obsessed. Having to pay full price for braces and then having jaw surgery, I felt as though I didn’t want to waste all that money by having damaged teeth from the braces. I would brush my teeth after every meal, snack, juice, soda. You name it. I always had a toothbrush in my hand.
I have been searching for the perfect toothbrush forever. I have used manual, power, ultrasonic, cheap, expensive, battery operated, rechargeable, every type imaginable. I have used them all. Then one day I was browsing on the internet and came across a review for the Burst toothbrush. Y’all, all I can say is WOW!
The video I saw was a dental hygienist with a few ears of corn covered in coffee grounds. She wet the corn, spread coffee grounds into all of its crevices, and then used different style toothbrushes to clean the corn (manual, cheap electric, expensive sonic, and Burst). I was impressed. I did more research. I couldn’t find anything bad being said about it so I thought I would try it out. I found a coupon code online and ordered my Burst toothbrush for half price ($39.99 instead of $79.99).
One of the things to know about the Burst toothbrush is that it is a subscription service. For $6 every three months they send you a new brush head.
So what is so special about a toothbrush? The first thing you will notice when you see it is that it has black bristles. They are coated in charcoal. No, you don’t taste soot when you are brushing your teeth. Yes, the bristles are super soft. There is a little plastic stopper in the bristles to prevent you from pushing too hard. They are also a bunch of different lengths to help with cleaning all the nooks and crannies of your mouth. Because the bristles are so soft, you can even use it with braces.
It has three different speed settings (whitening, sensitive, massage). You press the button in quick succession to change between the modes. Whatever mode you turn it off with will be the mode it automatically starts with the next time you use it. When you use it in whitening mode it vibrates at 33,000 sonic vibrations a minute. It can tickle your mouth and lips a little if you are unfamiliar with ultrasonic toothbrushes. You do get used to it, though. I would also suggest not turning it on until it is in your mouth as it will make a huge mess of the toothpaste on its bristles.
Not only does it have a two minute timer in which it will turn off, it also pauses or does a double vibrate every 30 seconds. They call it a Quadpacer. This is to tell you when to move to a different quadrant of you mouth.
The Burst toothbrush comes with a USB charger. The brush has a 700 mH lithium battery. If you brush your teeth twice a day it will last FOUR weeks between charges. Crazy, right? This is one of my favourite things. This allows me to take it to work or vacation without worrying about bringing the charger. One less thing to pack and keep track of, count me in!
If you like to brush your teeth in the shower but are worried about brining an electric toothbrush in with you, don’t think twice! The Burst toothbrush can safely be used in your shower!
What about if your toothbrush breaks. It can’t possibly last forever, right? It has a two year warranty if you stop your subscription for the replacement heads. However, as long as you subscribe, your brush remains under warranty!
Why did I just do an entire blog post on a toothbrush? Because I have NEVER found a toothbrush that cleans this well. The only time I have ever felt my teeth as clean as they are every time I use my Burst toothbrush is when I leave the dentist. If you are like me and are obsessed with clean teeth, I urge you to get your own. Trust me. You won’t be disappointed.
