The Oral-B Triumph 5000 toothbrush was recently ranked the number one power toothbrush by The Gadget Show.

The products were tested under the supervision of Dr Uchenna Okoye, the dentist who does the smile makeovers on the TV programme, 10 Years Younger.

Dr Okoye praised the effectiveness of the Oral-B 5000 and made it her top recommendation.

The Triumph 5000 has various functions to help motivate patients to brush for longer, without applying too much pressure.

A pressure indicator on the reverse of the handle lights up when too much force is applied, and an override mechanism automatically reduces the brushing speed and stops the pulsating motion.

Additionally, an icon on the Smart Guide alerts the patient that they're brushing too hard, and when they've completed two minutes.

The Triumph 5000 incorporates an audible timer beeps after 30 seconds, alerting the user to focus on the next quadrant of their mouth.
