I told you recently about our family’s teeth trouble and how I was especially concerned about my daughter’s infected tooth. She was on a round of antibiotics on our vacation to help keep her comfortable and in hopes of healing the tooth.
Faith is twelve now and it didn’t hit me quite so hard about her growing up until our vacation to Branson. At most of the attractions and restaurants she was considered and adult! Well that of course means that I have to pay more, but she really is more interested in grown up things and less in childish things. Sniff. I wanted to encourage her as I know she is concerned about her tooth too. The dentist kind of freaked out on us which didn’t help. So I purchased a Sonicare PowerUp Toothbrush for her. Getting something new is always fun and I figured a better toothbrush would also help her take care of her teeth. We want to keep as many as we can!
When we got back from our trip, I made a quick trip to Walmart to find a Soinicare PowerUp Toothbrush for her. This is a brand new, affordable battery powered toothbrush for under $20. I’m always looking for a great deal! To read about my entire shop please check out my Google + album!
I brought home the Sonicare PowerUp toothbrush and gave it to her. She began using it right away. At first she didn’t like the tickle that she felt. She’s been using a manual toothbrush. I felt the exact same way when I switched to a battery powered toothbrush, and I assured her that she would get used to it. In just a week she already says that the tickle doesn’t bother her anymore! Using the Sonicare PowerUp toothbrush is “Like getting a month’s worth of strokes in a day!”
My husband has been repeatedly telling our children to “Brush two minutes morning and night.” He has said it over and over. I was so excited to find out that when the toothbrush is turned on it automatically shuts off after two minutes! How fun is that!
Faith has been loving her new toothbrush! I took her back to her dentist this week. The tooth is still infected though it looked a little better. She has been referred to an endodontist. Our appointment is this morning so we would appreciate your prayers on any decisions that need to be made!

I love my electric toothbrush. We will be praying for the dentist appointment today! May the Lord give you both peace, and the dentist kindness and wisdom.
Us parents use an electric toothbrush and want our kids to use it too! Such a better clean and love that it stays on for two minutes!! Good luck with her appt tomorrow. 🙂
I love that the Sonicare power toothbrush is timed ~ no more guessing if you’ve brushed long enough!
Praying that the appt goes well and that God gives you wisdom/discernemnt in regards to any decisions that need to be made.
My husband and I have been wanting to try these out! Maybe I’ll win! 🙂
If I won this, I would give to my daughter. Thanks for the opportunity!
I think this toothbrush would give my child a better cleaning and help them remove the plaque.
I love that it has an automatic timer! Perfect for the kids. 🙂
Endodontist, see I told you. I knew it sounded about as bad as my girly’s teeth. Sorry to hear she has to go through that and I hope they can find a solution that will not scare her.
How did the appt go, Esther?
I Use A Manual Toothbrush Right Now, I’d Love To PowerUp My Dental Routine!
I think it would help my kiddos to brush longer!
I think it would help my daughter to brush better & longer!
I want to set a good example for my students!
@Deb, Thanks for asking! We didn’t find anything out. He refered me back to the dentist. Basically she needs to determine if the tooth is worth saving or if they should just pull it. 🙁
I would love to see the difference between a power toothbrush and the manual one that I have been using.
I always need a better way to keep my teeth clean – this looks like it would work great!
I would like to try this because I think it would give a nice deep clean and help whiten my teeth.
kids would brush longer
I have the orange one and love it!! I’m hoping when I go back to the dentist they can see an improvement!
I’d like for my teenage son to try it and see if it improves on cleaning his teeth over a manual toothbrush. Thanks.

I have really sensitive teeth and a tendency for gingivitis. I could definitely use this.

because even though I have an electric toothbrush, I still get cavities occasionally and maybe this would work better at getting my teeth cleaner.

This would be perfect for my daughter
I want to get this for my teenage son and see if this would help him with his teeth because his teeth our a little close and hard for him to floss. Maybe the Sonicare toothbrush will help clean his teeth better.

I have a manual toothbrush but would love to try the Sonicare Powerup toothbrush!

I’m a broke grad student who can’t afford dental insurance or visits right now (gross, right? ha!), so I’d love to own a brush that would amp up my current routine until I get back out in the working world again!
I think powered toothbrushes are much better at cleaning teeth than manual toothbrushes. I would like to try this one because of the price point.
I use a regular toothbrush now, but would like to try a powered one to get a better cleaning!
I would be interested in the toothbrush because the Irish Girl tshirt is awesome! and my girls also do not brush as long as they are supposed to so the 2 minute timer would be a great help.
Would love one because I can’t find an electric one that I seem to like.
I have heard great things about Sonicare toothbrushes. I would love to try this.
I, too, have lots of frustrating tooth issues. I think a better toothbrush would help keep my teeth healthy.

I want to win this for my granddaughter. She had not been encouraged to brush her teeth properly and had to endure a lot of dental work because of it. She is better about brushing now and I think a brush like this would help her get cleaner teeth than a manual brush. Let’s hope she keeps up the good work.
It would help my oldest daughter brush her teeth more often. She hates regular toothbrushes.
I have never tried it before. Would love to have cleaner teethe!
Because I can never brush accurately while I’m pregnant – it seems like hormones are taking over and my gums are inflamed 🙁
Because It looks like it works great!
I like the two minute shut-off
I have never used one butI have really been wanting one. Thank you
I would love a toothbrush that might help for better brushing
With all my traveling – this looks fabulous

I have always used a manual toothbrush. If it really does perform as it says it does, it makes perfect sense to make the switch.

I would like to win it for my granddaughter. She could get a better cleaning with each brushing.
Someone always needs a tooth brush and my family always uses battery operated brushes.

We only have manual toothbrushes, so it would be an upgrade!

I think it would get my daughter to brush longer.
So great that you got her the PowerUp…I never considered it before, but it’s a very grown up thing to have a powered toothbrush. My own kids still haven’t ever had one (oldest is 23!), but I am planning on getting them one for their Christmas stocking.
Nice job! Thanks for participating in this campaign! #client
