    “I can’t shut up about this toothbrush,” writes a reviewer named Susanna , who took the words out of my mouth.

    The toothbrush in question? The Mouthwatchers flossing brush . Reviewers can’t believe they’re waxing eloquent about a manual toothbrush, and I can’t either. But this isn’t your run-of-the-mill dental product.

    Designed by Boston-based dentist Dr. Ronald Plotka , the brush’s genius lies in its top layer of extra-thin bristles, 10 times thinner than typical bristles. This feature helps clean deeper, yet gently, into grooves and gums.

    The result is a super-clean, “ like leaving the dentist clean ” feeling after every go-round — so much so that reviewers, to their surprise , are getting excited about brushing their teeth and describing the toothbrush as “ magic .” Same here. I’d been eying this brush for months, putting off trying it due to my intense dislike of spending money . Once I finally did, I wished I’d done so sooner . Today’s a perfect time to get in on the collective glee; the toothbrushes are 35% off for Amazon’s Fall Prime Day !

    Rarely does an item elicit an actual wow from me. Yet, as a reviewer named Christie writes, “Here we are.”

    Within about a week of switching from a regular brush to this one, my previously coffee-stained teeth looked markedly whiter, my plaque was less visible and my gums looked healthier.

    My mouth also feels remarkably cleaner, a result that reviewers echo. I can’t help but feel that this model is toothbrushing the way it should be.

    One reviewer named Cole sums it up nicely: “Ever since I started using Dr. Plotkas I simply cannot tolerate another brand of toothbrush ... I recently traveled and did not switch out my travel brush with this product. I felt like I was brushing my teeth with rubber spikes. It was the longest week ever.”

    Reviewers’ families are a little taken aback by this fervor (as may be my editor, whom I’ve pestered about this life-changing toothbrush for longer than I’m proud of). But no matter: It’s only a matter of time before everyone else becomes stalwarts, too, reviewers say. “I have converted everyone in my family,” writes Cole, and another person says they plan to gift the brushes to family members “so they’ll stop looking at me like I’m a little bit off for talking about my toothbrush.”

    It’s a clear new staple for me, and more than worth the extra few dollars.

    Grab a two-pack of the flossing toothbrushes to try for yourself while they’re discounted for Fall Prime Day. Still thinking? More reviews below:

    “I’ve tried various types of toothbrushes over the years, both electric and manual and this brush is by far the best! It does feel bigger in my mouth than most others, BUTTT it cleans SOOO well ! Dare I say better than any electric brush I’ve ever tried. My teeth feel like I’ve just had a professional cleaning !” — amanda.park

    “Ok, I never leave reviews, but this one is worth it . I almost returned these toothbrushes before using them solely based on the fact that they don’t look very special. My name-brand toothbrush looks fancier. But I read the reviews again and decided to keep them. To my surprise, this is the best toothbrush I’ve ever used. I have severe plaque issues and had a dentist appointment a few weeks ago, so I’m trying to keep my teeth as clean as possible. I use special toothpaste, special mouthwash, and brush and floss twice a day. I’ve tried every toothbrush under the sun. Seriously, I will be ordering these frequently, as the bristles, clean my teeth so well and are gentle on my very sensitive gums . My partner even commented how clean his teeth felt after the first brush. So, there ya go. That’s my honest review of an ugly, yet highly-effective toothbrush that I’ll be purchasing again very soon. Cheers!” — Shaye

    “This cleans so well yet is gentle enough for my older lightly receding gums . The bristles are very fine and cleans between teeth a bit. Don’t know how deep so I’m continuing to use my floss. It’s got a good bigger rubberized grip which makes this comfortable to hold . Does not slip. My gums love the brush too! I don’t travel much but if needed can slip it into a plastic travel case. I’ll be stocking up on these !” — Babs

    “I never thought I would write a review for a toothbrush, but this is the best toothbrush I have ever bought. It feels sturdy and yet so soft and makes my teeth feel so clean . I will definitely buy more!” — Katie McPheters
