Readers of my blog know that I am no stranger to reviewing toothbrushes and pastes with my family. Most of them were for my kids. The people at Radius asked me to try this adult toothbrush, the Radius Intellegent toothbrush. I gave it to hubby since he doesn’t want any automated brush.
What makes this brush different? For starters it has a timer built in timer that beeps every thirty seconds and flashes so you know you are spending the right amount of time cleaning the quadrants of your mouth. Here are some pointers from the site:
- 90 Day wear meter – after 180 uses the light changes to red to indicate time to check bristle wear. Depressing the button for 5 seconds resets the meter to zero.
- Lightweight unbreakable replacement heads made from surgical-grade nylon.
- Dramatically increases softness and efficacy of brushing with 65% more bristle tufts than ordinary toothbrush.
- Reversible for both Right or Left handed brushing – Available in soft or medium bristles.
- Handle lasts forever – the head can be discarded as you would a razor blade!
- KID FRIENDLY! Great for children 6 years and above.
What else? The actual head of the brush is a lot wider than any manual toothbrush I have ever seen. The bristles were soft which is a plus for me. I like the idea that there is a timer on the brush and from what I can tell it does a pretty good job. The only drawback if you can call it that is that the person using it has to actually remember to push the button to get that benefit from it. If you have someone who doesn’t remember things like that, its really not useful. Of course it becomes habit when you do it enough and really does help promote correct brushing. And the price tag is nice too. Only $8.99 and just $5.49 for replacement heads. I have to say its the most comfortable in the hand and most different manual brush I have seen in a long time.
