Electric tooth brushes...

replicant_argent · 10-28-2008, 09:14 AM

A bit off/on topic, but I am going out to grab one today, any recommendations on brands or models? With the amount of coffee I drink, and tobacco use, I could use all the help I can get between dental appointments.
On topic because oral health care is important to us, or should be, anyway, and I know that some of them also have tongue scraper attachments for our minty fresh kissable breath for our spouses..

What works, what did you get that sucked, what would/n't you buy again?

I have a Sonic Care. Not sure which model, but it still works great. They sell interchangable colored heads/bristles for them, so you can buy one and let the whole family use it and/or replace the bristles evry 6-2 months.

I love it!

We've got an Oral-B Professional Series 8500. Seems to work well. We can take it on weekend trips without needing a charging base and it holds the charge well. Comes with all different kinds of brush heads, etc.

Go with sonicare. My mom is in the dental insurance business and all the dentists and hygienists recommend the sonicare. I have one that has different settings for example, sensitive teeth, massage, go care, max care, and clean. I dont think I'll ever go back to using a regular tooth brush....too much work lol

Oral B Triumph 9000 or higher, best darn toothbrush ever made. Suggested by my dentist. I been making a lot of perodontist visits before switching to the Oral B a number of years ago. I haven't been back since, the toothbrush has some amazing features including a 2 minute timer broken down into 30 second intervals so you can clean top and bottom, inside and out. Mine came with travel case and the adpater is 110/220 compatible. I own 2 of them and got them at Costco which also carries the replacement brushes.

Oral B- tirumph 9400. It feels like you went to the Dentist every morning and evening.

Yup Oral B Proffesional is the way to go, most Dentists sell them in their offices.

Also get a hummingbird flosser, it is a hell of a lot easier than using floss along.

Oral B for me. I have had the same one for over 3 years now and it keeps on ticking. (not the same head
