So, I’m just going to throw this out there: I didn’t go to the dentist for six years. On paper this is because I moved three times and had two kids—but the truth of the matter is that I also felt it couldn’t be that important. I floss and brush every day, what can go wrong, right? Turns out, a lot, I learned once I found myself back in the reclining chair about a month ago (ahem, plaque buildup, cavities, gum disease). Mercifully, genetics and commitment to my dental routine mostly spared me, but my dentist did have one recommendation: get the Philips Sonicare Diamondclean 9000 and a Power Flosser, stat.
Okay, these weren’t her exact words, but she did recommend that I invest in an electric toothbrush like a Philips, because my primary issue is receding gums due to overly aggressive brushing (an electric toothbrush offers a softer experience). In doing my research, I landed on the Philips Sonicare Diamondclean 9000 plus the Philips Sonicare Cordless Power Flosser—which is 35 percent off today only—as my new smart, upgraded oral-care duo. And a dentist backs this up—read on to find out why.
