Nap Warden, who commented, “Wow…that is quite a toothbrush! I use the Oral B electric,” is the winner of the Ultreo giveaway!” Thanks to everyone who entered.
Last year wasn’t a banner dental care year for me, so I was intrigued when approached with the chance to review the new Ultreo ultrasound toothbrush, which takes dental care to a whole new level.
Ultreo is the first major innovative development in toothbrushes in more than a decade. It is the only power toothbrush to combine ultrasound waveguide technology with precisely tuned sonic bristle action. Developed at the University of Washington, it’s basically the bad ass of toothbrushes.
Ultreo features:
- an auto shut off timer
- a brushing interval signal that beeps every 3 seconds to help you clean each area of your mouth equally
- a compact charger base and wall plug
- a battery charge status indicator that tells the level of battery power (when fully charged you can use Ultreo for up to 28 brushings without additional charging)
- the ability to remove up to 95% of plaque from hard-to-reach places in one minute. It is also clinically proven to be safe and gentle for everyday use on gums, natural tooth surfaces, and dental work
Ultreo retails for $169.99 and can be purchased from participating dental offices, Ultreo’s website, and online retailers such as Drugstore.com, Amazon.com, and The Sharper Image. Additional brush heads can be purchased so that more than one person can share the toothbrush base.
This is not a product I would normally go out and buy for myself, but the Ultreo is definitely an investment in dental care. My teeth felt considerably cleaner after brushing with the Ultreo, and I’d compare it to that “just professionally cleaned” type feeling you get after an appointment with your dental hygenist.
If you’d like to own the equivalent of the Rolls Royce of toothbrushes, here’s your chance. Just leave a comment telling me what brand of toothbrush you use. I’ll select a random winner from all eligible comments (U.S. and Canadian residents only) now through midnight Sunday, July 20. For two chances, just blog about this giveaway and hook me up with a link.
is the Ultreo Co. still in business? I would like to buy more brushes. The phone number that i have, has been disconnected.
sadly ultreo is out of business and there is no replacement supplier
Frontgate just got a large supply of the Ultreo tooth brushes and brush heads. They are charging $29.50 each for the tooth brush w/ brush head and you can purchase up to 4 additional brush heads at $22.50 each, plus 10% shipping. I am passing this along, so that those on ebay charging $50, $60, and up to $70 per brush head lose out. If you don’t want to lose your original $170 investment, go now to frontgate. I bought 8 tooth brushes and 4 additional brush heads for a total of 12 which should last about 3+ years. The only issue when those 12 brush heads are gone, then I will need to replace the tooth brush, but that’s 3+ years down the road. Good Luck
