We recently got to try the Radius Intelligent toothbrush.
I gave it to Jordan in the hopes that he would brush his teeth all the time. He’s at the age where he doesn’t get excited about hygiene. He actually told me that he wants to let his teeth fall out so he can get those cool fake ones. *sigh* When I heard about the Radius Intelligent toothbrush I jumped at the chance for him to give it a try! I thought it might be easier than sitting on him to brush his teeth myself as I threatened to do at his last dentist appointment.
Here’s a little about it:
- 2 minute timer — toothbrush beeps once and green light flashes once every 30 sec. to 2 minutes.
- 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.
Jordan thinks it’s really cool. The 2 minute timer made him jump the first time he used it. That made me giggle a little. He’s doing a good job with brushing his teeth when he brushes them and uses it for the full two minutes which means his teeth are getting WAY more attention than they used to.
I love the fact that the handle lasts forever and that you just replace the head of the toothbrush. I also love the 90 day wear meter. I usually know to replace my tooth brush, oh let’s say when the bristles are pushed out flat. That’s bad isn’t it? I’m also kind of jealous. I want a Radius Intelligent toothbrush for myself. It’s on my list of things to get.
Did the Radius Intelligent toothbrush miraculously make Jordan want to brush his teeth? For the first 3 days. He’s 11, I don’t think he’s going to want to brush his teeth until he wants to kiss a girl – when he’s 30! But, with coaxing, he goes in and brushes them, and I know his teeth are getting better attention! That’s a plus! With the full 2 minute brushing, I’m noticing less build up of yellow on his teeth also. I know, gross.
I think the price of the toothbrush is great too! It’s about $7 for the original tooth brush, then around $4.50 for 2 replacement heads. I spend more than the price of the replacement heads on ONE of our toothbrushes.
All in all, this gets a big
for showing Jordan the proper length of time that is needed for brushing his teeth and for just being an awesome toothbrush at a great value!
