Power brushing just got a whole lot better

Oral-B has launched the next generation of its highly successful range of power brushes, the revolutionary Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8500 rechargeable toothbrush.


The newest dentist-inspired total care oral system has as its centrepiece a highly intelligent premium toothbrush offering a range of speeds to best meet individual needs and deliver superior cleaning, whitening and rejuvenation of gums for a whole mouth clean.

Coupled to this:

  • A tongue freshener to remove bacteria from the tongue and freshen breathe;
  • ProBright brush-head, which has a special 'polishing cup' to whiten teeth in only 21 days;1
  • Interdental cleaner to conveniently clean between teeth; and
  • Dual Action brush-head to help clean and maintain healthy gums.

The Oral-B Professional Care 8500 features Oral-B rotation oscillation action, the only technology proven to remove up to 97% of plaque from hard to reach places and two times more plaque than any manual toothbrush.2 It also reduces gingivitis more effectively than all manual brushes, in the short and long term. No other powered brush designs were consistently superior.3

The Oral-B Professional Care 8500 features a premium handle and ergonomic grip, a 2 minute sensor to ensure professionally recommended brushing time, a pressure sensor to help promote gentle brushing and the battery that lasts up to two weeks without charging.
