Get That Dentist Clean Feeling Wherever You Are This Summer Thanks To Oral-B

Summer means road trips, time away at the family bach and island getaways so make sure you wake up to that dentist clean feeling wherever the season takes you with the Oral-B Triumph with SmartGuide.

This clever new power toothbrush is Oral-B’s most technologically advanced, state-of-the-art power toothbrush to hit the market with a wireless display and customised settings to enhance cleaning performance. With a charge that lasts 11 days[i] the Oral-B Triumph with SmartGuide is like having a dental professional with you – no matter where your holiday takes you.

The Oral-B Triumph with SmartGuide was designed to bring together clinically proven technology for twice as much plaque removal than a manual toothbrush[ii] to help promote gum health, with a visible display to help you improve your brushing habits.

The Oral-B Triumph with SmartGuide is embedded with microchips which track what you’re doing and send a signal wirelessly to the SmartGuide remote display which provides while-you-brush real-time feedback.

The SmartGuide lets you know if you’re applying too much pressure, have cleaned one particular area enough and when you’ve reached the dentist-recommended two minutes. It even rewards you with a smiley face on the LCD screen for your efforts!

If you’re one of those people who never seems to know just when to get rid of your old brush don’t worry - the Oral-B Triumph with SmartGuide keeps track and reminds you when it’s time for the brush-head to be replaced.

With four settings to choose from, the Oral-B Triumph with SmartGuide gives you a personalised teeth cleaning experience. Select the Clean mode for superior whole mouth cleaning or opt for the Sensitive function which is gentle enough for even the most delicate areas.
If you want an overall polish then the Polish setting is for you - while the Massage mode is for gently massaging your gums.

With Oral-B Triumph with SmartGuide users have been found to be up to five times more likely to brush for the dental recommended two minutes twice a day than with a regular manual toothbrush.

Kiwi dentist Dr Hisham Abdalla, from Auckland’s Laser Lifecare Institute, says he welcomes the addition of the timer as part of the SmartGuide function.

“In a bathroom setting it can be difficult to look at a watch or clock so it can be hard to quantify the all important two minutes. Now we have the technology to give teeth a thorough clean.”

Dr Abdalla says: It’s important to stick to the two minutes because on average we have 28 (maximum 32) teeth. Each tooth has four surfaces that become coated with a sticky plaque biofilm. Biofilm is a sticky layer of bacteria and food debris that also builds up on the tongue, gum and cheeks.”

The Oral-B Triumph has rotating-oscillation technology, surrounding each tooth to gently remove plaque between each tooth and along the gum line.

“Bacteria that grow around and under the gum line can cause bad breath, gum and bone disease (bleeding gums and loose teeth). The gum line is a very critical part of the mouth to clean as well and we must make sure that we remove the biofilm from the gumline by ensuring we brush properly, says Dr Abdalla.

“Power brushes are more efficient and easier to use correctly. I like to give my ‘guests’ the analogy of a car versus a bicycle. While they are both vehicles, one will get you much further in the same period of time because its engine driven,” he says.

The SmartGuide encourages you to brush thoroughly, gently and for the dental-recommended two minutes. It’s no wonder Oral-B is the brand more dentists use themselves worldwide.

“I have been using and recommending Oral-B toothbrushes for many years and I’m excited by the technology behind the Oral-B Triumph SmartGuide,” says Dr Abdalla.
