Brushing is even more rewarding with the new Triumph 5000
Oral-B's best rechargeable toothbrush is now even better. Widely recognised as one of the most advanced toothbrushes ever designed, the Triumph 5000 has earned praise from customers and dental professionals alike. With over 250 five-star customer reviews, the previous Triumph 5000 toothbrush already has plenty of people smiling across the UK. And it's not only Oral-B users who have given top marks to Oral-B's best brush.
The Triumph 5000 is also the only rechargeable toothbrush approved by the British Dental Health Foundation with the highest possible platinum rating for its superior plaque removal, which removes 100% more plaque than a manual toothbrush.
Consumers and dental professionals are justifiably impressed by the Triumph 5000. In this upgraded version, Oral-B has taken the Triumph 5000 toothbrush to the next level, improving its smart technology and adding new advanced features to help motivate and guide you to brush more thoroughly and gently, as recommended by dentists.
Looks as smart as the technology inside
The new Triumph 5000 has also been slimmed down for a more sophisticated look and the ergonomics of the handle have been improved with a more contoured design and a new surface structure, making the toothbrush easier to grip and more comfortable to handle when brushing. Function matches design with an easy to reach finger stop button and state-of-the-art colour LED handle display with better contrast, so you can see the battery life at a glance.
The new Triumph 5000 actively improves your brushing
Building on the superior 3D brushing technology and helpful feedback of the previous model, Oral-B has improved the best features of the Triumph 5000 and added new ones. The end result is a superior power toothbrush that helps you brush thoroughly yet gently, as dentist professionals recommend, while at the same time giving you motivation and guidance every time you brush.
As the Chief of the British Dental Health Foundation, Dr. Nigel Carter, says, 'Having now used the brush for several weeks I feel it is a significant improvement and I have just conformed its position… as the Rolls Royce of brushes and given it a 10/10 mark.'
Brushing too hard is a habit of the past
One of the tendencies people often have when using an electric toothbrush is excessive brushing, or brushing too hard. Usually a habit picked up from using a manual toothbrush, excessive brushing can badly affect your gums if carried on for too long. To help you avoid excessive brushing, the new Triumph 5000 features the Triple Action Pressure Control System. This intelligent system is able to sense if you're using too much pressure when brushing, and it uses three types of signals to let you know you're brushing too hard.
1. Auditory - The pulsating action of the toothbrush is stopped, which changes the sound of the toothbrush, giving you an auditory signal that you're brushing too hard.
2. Visual - An innovative red light band that is integrated into the handle of the toothbrush begins to flash, giving you a visual signal.
3. Sensory - The system takes brushing assistance to the next level by actively switching the brushing mode to the Sensitive mode, reducing the speed of the brushing action, giving you a final sensory signal to help you avoid excessive brushing.
Along with the intelligent brushing assistance of the Triple Action Pressure Control System, the new Triumph 5000 toothbrush has an improved Smart Guide to motivate and guide you towards a thorough yet gentle cleaning every time you brush.
Get extra motivation with the new Star Reward System
One of the defining features of the Triumph 5000 is the digital Smart Guide unit, which wirelessly syncs up with the toothbrush to give you real-time dentist-inspired feedback that helps you brush thoroughly and gently.
The latest addition to the long list of advanced features in the wireless Smart Guide is the Star Reward System. A simple yet effective feature meant to help motivate better brushing, the Star Reward System consists of five stars that light up one by one as you brush, giving a full five-star rating when you brush properly for the dentist-recommended two minutes.
Along with the new Star Reward System and a new brush mode indicator, the wireless Smart Guide includes all of the features available on the previous version, which work together to give you real-time brushing feedback, which includes where to brush, how long you need to brush and if you're apply too much pressure.
Brushing Timer: Guides you to brush for two minutes, as recommended by dentists.
Visual Pressure Alert: Smart Guide sets off a visual warning when you are brushing too hard to help you keep control of brushing and protect your gums.
Quadrant Prompt: Prompts you after 30 seconds to change the quadrant, or area, of your mouth, helping you to brush thoroughly across all four quadrants of your mouth.
Replace Brush Head Indicator: Dentists recommend that you change your brush head every three months when brushing twice a day for two minutes. The Triumph 5000 memorises your absolute brushing time, and tells you when you should replace your brush head, helping to ensure that you are brushing with a brush head that performs at its best.
Customised brushing with five unique brushing modes
Your daily cleaning routine doesn't have to be the same every day. The Triumph 5000 has five different brushing modes available at the push of a button, so you can easily choose between Daily Clean, Massage, Sensitive, Polish or Deep Clean. Along with a visual brush mode indicator on the wireless Smart Guide unit, the Triumph 5000 toothbrush handle now has re-designed brushing mode icons that light up with a state-of-the-art LED display, so you can choose your brushing mode at a glance.
- Daily Clean: Exceptional cleaning of teeth and gums
- Massage: Gentle stimulation of gums
- Sensitive: Gentle yet thorough cleaning for sensitive areas
- Polish: Polishing and natural whitening of your teeth to remove stains
- Deep Clean: For that thorough, dentist clean feeling
Brush like a dentist, wherever you are
Similar to its predecessor, the new Triumph 5000 gives you the convenience of a dentist clean feeling when you're at home or on the go. Its innovative, dishwasher-safe charging station stores the handle and up to four brush heads. You also have the sturdy travel case to safely store the Triumph 5000 when you're travelling.
Compatible with a wide range of brush heads
The Triumph 5000 toothbrush is compatible with a variety of Oral-B brush heads, including Precision Clean, Floss Action, Dual Action, Sensitive Clean and 3D White. The only exceptions are the Pulsonic and Sonic brush heads, which are only compatible with the Oral-B Pulsonic power toothbrush range. The new Triumph 5000 comes with three interchangeable brush heads in the pack, including Floss Action, 3D White and Sensitive Clean. All of these dentist-inspired round brush heads cup each tooth to remove up to 99.7% of plaque in hard to reach areas when used in Deep Clean mode.
Why use a rechargeable toothbrush?
Over 75% of dentists now recommend using a rechargeable toothbrush as they help to eliminate human error during brushing, which can lead to more serious gum problems. And Oral-B is the number one most dentist-recommended rechargeable toothbrush brand worldwide. Oral-B's 3D brushing technology found in their rechargeable toothbrushes is clinically proven to remove 100% more plaque as an ordinary manual toothbrush. And, in a recent survey of 5,140 Oral-B power toothbrush users, 9 out 10 said they were so happy with their power toothbrush that they wouldn’t go back to an ordinary one.

The toothbrush itself has five modes covering regular cleaning, sensitive, massage, deep clean and polish. It's easy to switch between these and if you are pressing too hard the brush will alert you with beeps and light up a large red light on the back that you can't really miss in your mirror. Keep pressing too hard and the brush will automatically set itself to Sensitive mode to save your poor gums.
The included Smart Guide is a bit of a gimmick, frankly. It connects to the brush wirelessly and includes a timer to show how long you have been brushing and indicators for each quadrant of your mouth to ensure they get 30 seconds each (to reach the magical dentist-approved 2 minutes brushing time).
The monitor also has icons to show which mode the toothbrush is in and warns if you are pressing too hard. You also get a star rating if you do two minutes of brushing (well done, you). It's all very clever and I admit I quite like it, but I don't think it's essential.
As my gums are rather delicate, the action of the toothbrush is important. Previous electric models I have owned have been a little too aggressive, and although different brush heads make a big difference, a smooth action on the part of the motor itself helps no end. The Triumph 5000 (although going at some rate), is surprisingly gentle, especially with a Sensitive brush head. I have found it to be very comfortable, and it's not that noisy either. I am very pleased with the level of cleaning, even without using the annoying and uncomfortable `specialised' heads (I don't think they are really going to floss that well). I just stick to standard or sensitive.
The brush takes a good while to charge, but then I usually run it down to a virtually flat battery. One charge keeps it going for nigh on the ten days promised by the box though.
This is as good as it gets for an electric toothbrush, so if you want the best and have the cash, I highly recommend it.
The Oral-B Triumph 5000 addresses all of these problems and is a far better toothbrush for it. I don't know if it was the way in which I used it but I seem to remember that the old toothbrush had a habit of spraying toothpaste everywhere as well - again this Oral-B brush does not have that problem.
This brush comes with three different toothbrush heads: 1) Floss-action, 2) Sensitive and 3) 3D White. There is a fourth type available to buy which is the Precision Clean Brush Head. I started off using the Sensitive head as I was a bit concerned that the more aggressive brushing action of a power toothbrush might cause problems. Initially, as the instruction booklet advises, my gums did bleed slightly the first couple of times that I used the brush but that soon sorted itself and now it is a real pleasure to feel that extra freshness/cleanliness that using one of these brushes provides. As to the cost of replacement heads they work out roughly the same as buying a half-decent toothbrush - I've seen a pack of 4 priced at round about the eight pound mark.
With the digital guide that comes with the brush you can set the length of cleaning time that you want and it will tell you (via audible and flashing light signals) how long to brush each zone of your teeth - a visual guide divides your mouth into 4 quarter zones. It also warns you if you are pressing too hard on the brush (red flashing light and beeping sounds) and when the allotted time that you have set has passed and cleaning is complete you are rewarded with a smiley face (great for kids).
There are a couple of things worth noting. If you don't have a shaver socket in your bathroom you will need to buy an adaptor ( about 80p - £1) as the charging unit comes fitted with a two pin shaving plug. Charging of the brush is not described very well in the accompanying booklet; you are told that when you connect the unit for charging the brush, a green light on the brush will start flashing (which it did) and that when charging is complete, the green light will stop flashing - I had mine on charge for 24 hours and the light was still flashing!! However I guessed that it must be charged and started using it - the charge lasted well over the ten days quoted in the booklet.
So, all in all this brush is a huge leap forward from the last time that I'd used one and I am now fully converted to the use of a power toothbrush.
I don't know, but looking at the state of my teeth today and the hundreds of pounds I've wasted on dental treatment, perhaps I would have saved money in the long run if I'd invested in a better toothbrush earlier on.
The Triumph 5000 is, according to the head of the British Dental Health Foundation, "the Rolls Royce of brushes". That seems a bold claim to make and when I first switched the brush on, I was underwhelmed. The motor seemed to grind slowly compared to my Omron Sonic Style Electric Tothbrush 458, which had a superfast mode that scoured my teeth, leaving them feeling as if I'd just been to the dental hygienist. I was also underwhelmed by the five different modes, which didn't seemed to differ that wildly from each other. So far so bad.
But once I'd worked out how to use the 'Smart Guide' device, which wirelessly synchronises with the toothbrush, I began to change my mind.
In short, the 'Smart Guide' device supervises the user, telling them how long they should spend on each part of their mouth. If you press the brush too hard - with the potential risk of bleeding gums - a warning sound and light begin until the pressure is relaxed. One each quadrant is complete, a simple LCD image tells the user to move on the next section.
I was very impressed by this function. In hindsight, I had probably been attacking my gums too vigorously with the sonic toothbrush and this device is far more kinder to the gums. The timer also prevented me from cutting corners - so easy to do when you're in a hurry.
The kit also comes with three different brush heads that cover a range of needs, from sensitive gums and teeth to a vigorous plaque remover. It's very useful having a facility that allows the user to have a go at the plaque without endangering the gums and enamel.
Like the Omron, this toothbrush takes ages to charge and I whilst I only have to recharge my electric razor every month or so, the charge on this is supposed to last for ten days - so if you're going on a two-week holiday, bring the lead!
To summarise:
PROS:
* Sturdy and well-built
* A built-in warning system to prevent damage to gums
* Three separate heads for different functions, plus five modes
* A glowing recommendation from the British Dental Health Foundation
* An electronic 'Smart Guide' which wirelessly connects with the toothbrush, guiding the user through the cleaning process
* Brush heads are easy to clean - no build-up of 'gunk' around the base of the brush
* Good carry cases for both the toothbrush and brush heads
CONS:
* The price
* The lack of different speeds
* Not a sonic brush (if that matters)
* An instruction booklet that could be a little clearer - it takes a little while to learn how to use the device
* It takes a long time to charge the battery. People without a 2-pin socket in their bathroom may want to think twice.
Overall, it's an impressive product and my teeth (and gums) already feel better, but for the price, I'd like to see more speeds. However, if the professionals think so much of this toothbrush, that's a serious selling point for me. Hopefully it will save me from a lot of expensive dental treatment in the future!
NB - Since writing this review, Amazon have dropped the price and I would now say that this product is good value for money, as my dental health has continued to improve.
