Summer Beauty: Philips Sonicare FlexCare+

By

Note: The following giveaway is open to Canadians only. 

I’m MAKING THE SWITCH to Philips Sonicare FlexCare+!

Since this is a beauty event, and an integral part of beauty is a gorgeous, healthy smile, it makes sense that I should lead by example and do something great for my oral health. And I’ve taken a huge step by making the switch to Philips Sonicare FlexCare+, the most advanced power toothbrush on the market.

(Not one to mince words, I just threw away my old electric toothbrush.)

Some of my favourite features of the brush:

– Removes up to 83% of plaque in hard-to-reach areas
– Improves gum health in only two weeks
– Helps remove tea, coffee and other stains
– Includes a UV brush head sanitizer (WOW!)
– Slim ergonomic design plus an easy-to-read illuminated display panel

Click here to see full specifications of the Philips Sonicare FlexCare+.

Today, I’ll be putting the toothbrush together and charging it overnight – and then, I’ll embark on a two-week journey with hopes to see whiter teeth, healthier gums and fresher breath.

(My husband, who was incredibly jealous when the toothbrush arrived, just found out about the UV Brush Head Sanitizer that kills up to 99% of bacteria and viruses. “Perfect!” he said. “We can share the toothbrush!” Um….)

I’ll circle back in about two weeks with a vlog entry – I’m hoping to report some big changes!


The Philips Sonicare FlexCare+ retails for $219.95 in Canada. Visit Philips.ca to find a retail store near you.

  44. Marz

    I've been wanting this tooth brush for such a long time. I went all over New York city trying to find it! I've wanted to make the switch to this brush because of the UV sanitizer. I get cavities galore because of the spacing of my teeth and I know this will help me save some time and money at the dentists chair!

  46. Linda Kish

    I have an Oral B toothbrush that is worn out and needs to be replaced so this would be perfect timing for me to win this and move up in the world. I could improve my dental health.lkish77123 at gmail dot com

  62. roswell

    i have very sensitive teeth and gums and dread going to the dentist so anything that keeps my teeth and gums healthy and less visits is great for mestaceyx at telus dot net

  68. D.Calvert

    I want to switch because I am old and want to keep my real teeth and am a fanatic about my teeth, a smile is our first impression!calvert0 at telus dot net

  80. tumyii

    i would love to make the switch for general overall improvement to dental health in comparison to a standard toothbrush. i also love that it has a UV sanitizer for the brushhead and whitening benefits!tumyiix at gmail dot com

  86. renee

    I would like to make the switch bc i have such dental problems all the time and this might help mereneetaylor at sympatico dot ca

  93. Maple Leaf Mommy

    I would like to make the switch to help out my gums. I would love to try this out and see improvement in my gum health!(And the UV head sanitizer is way cool! I am betting my husband would say the exact same thing. Ugh.)

  99. Tania B

    I would like to make the switch to Sonicare because I have inherited poor teeth from my mom's side of my genes along with being prone to gingivitis. So I could really use a top grade electric toothbrush to keep my mouth in the best health!

  116. nicolthepickle

    I'd like to make the switch because I just went to the dentist and they PULLED a tooth and said I had to take better care of them. Shoot, and I thought I was doing a good job.

  122. jonandjules

    I'm passionate about oral hygiene and, as a consequence, tend to be a little too aggressive when i brush. My dentist has recommended the Sonicare because it will give that clean teeth feel while being gentle on the gums. Enough said! I'm ready to make the switch!jonandjules (at) hotmail (dot) com

  136. jann

    I would love to give this electric toothbrush a shot, I have the oral b one with the teeny brush head and I totally use manual everytime cause the oral b is so small.

  139. Shauna MacKenzie

    I've always wanted to swich to an electric toothbrush. Having two children literally killed my teeth! Not a single cavity until my first pregnancy :( I simply can't afford to purchase a good one, and don't want to settle for a cheap one!

  143. Nicole

    I still use a regular old manual toothbrush! Would love to switch to this one and see the difference in results!sunshine_279 at hotmail dot com

  149. MissT

    Well I just was at the Dentist for a cleaning on Monday. My teeth were so bad especially my gums. I found out I have gingivitis ! My gums were bleeding like crazy she only cleaned with the ultrasonic cleaner and couldn’t finish with the pik. I have to go back in August for another cleaning and one small cavity. I bet if I had this toothbrush my gums would be much tougher and I wouldn’t have tartar (which starts off as plaque). Oh yea My Hygienist ended up lecturing me on my gums. I feel so guilty about my mouth. I was in serious pain when she did my cleaning too. I need to make the switch!

  157. Jen

    I would love to switch because using an ordinary toothbrush definitely doesn't get my teeth clean enough and I don't brush long enough with it!

  167. pamalot

  429. alyssa_p

    I would make the switch because I would love an easier way to have a clean toothbrush and a fresh mouth. I used to have a sonicare but I killed it and never replaced it. I loved it though, and will probably buy this one even if i don't win!

  645. rasilla

    the funny note would be that Im lazy, and this reduces the effort on my part.the serious answer, it is vital that we keep out teeth healthy, as we use them everyday, for nearly everything we do.rasilla012[at]gmail[dot]com

  655. Shana

    I LOVE that I can share a toothbrush with my hubby! I also like that the toothbrush heads seem to last longer than the average non-electric toothbrush.

  664. nM*

  687. PaulineMilner
