| A good toothbrush at a good price | |
| A short while back I tried one of the Crest five dollar electric toothbrushes. I generally liked the brush, but decided it would be nice to upgrade. The Crest just seemed a touch shoddy, so I figured I'd do it right and buy a better brush.
Word of mouth said that this Oral B was the one to get. I've had it for about a month now and must say I'm pleased. First off, it is well styled. It looks rather slick in the bathroom. The battery life on the brush is rather good and recharging is easy enough with the charging base/brush holder. My teeth feel cleaner after using this brush than they did after using the Crest electric, or a manual brush for that matter. My only real quirk with the brush is that it feels like it's putting quite a bit of vibration on my teeth. I'm sure this is a trade-off of the brush's 'Plak Control' effectiveness, but it's worth noting. The small round brush head is easy to get around the back of teeth and most everywhere else. The only place I think this brush can't brush better than an old fashion brush is in between teeth. Due to the fast rotation of the brush head, it seems that the conventional up down brushing of a manual brush would do a better job. This is not to say that the Oral B is bad at cleaning between teeth, but perhaps just not as good. Since I've not had it that long, my opion on this may change. For the most part this brush is doing a better job of cleaning my teeth than any other brush I've owned. Replacement heads aren't the cheapest items around, but they don't seem too overpriced. My only long term concern is battery life, but with occasional draining of the battery before recharging, I don't think it will be a problem. I'd recommend this brush to anyone considering an electronic tooth brush. Odds are you will be pleased and if you're not, this is an affordable way to test the waters. | |
| Great price for clean teeth | |
| I was pleasantly surprised to discover that this toothbrush works really well, given the comparatively low price. It is user friendly, and you can be up and brushing within minutes of opening the package. It doesn't have any fancy features, but you don't need a lot of frills to brush your teeth. You use less toothpaste, and your teeth feel a lot cleaner than when you use a regular toothbrush. Additionally, because of the small brush, you can get to the back and sides without any contortions. The soft bristles do a great job on your gums while you brush. The only negatives are that there is nowhere to store extra brushes, and that it's a bit noisy, but these are not major problems. You also have to remember to discharge it completely every six months. Great economical choice for clean teeth and healthy gums. | |
| Color Coordinated Brushing! | |
| I guess the colors of the Oral-B toothbrushes have always been the reason I buy them instead of other brands, not to mention they seem to outperform all other toothbrushes I've tried. When our last Braun power toothbrush decided to not recharge again (we are talking having it for 7 years!), I had to find a solution. I was very pleased with the price. I was expecting to have to pay way more for an oscillating toothbrush. I didn't realize that they say to maintain the maximum capacity of the rechargeable batter, you have to discharge it at least once every 6 months. I guess you are not supposed to leave the unit plugged in continuously. The base is smaller and there is no room to store toothbrushes. This encourages everyone in the family to own their own oscillating toothbrush, which makes sense. Definitely cleans better than a manual toothbrush! I noticed because between the loss of our old toothbrush and the purchase of the new one, my teeth did not feel as clean. Charge lasts about a week One brush head is included and has the added feature of "interdental" tips. Brushes should be replaced every 3 months. I also soak them in mouthwash now and then. Something like Listerine. No hassle On/Off buttons Removes plaque if you brush for at least two minutes. I would not recommend this "more powerful" version for people with sensitive teeth and gums. This toothbrush really takes control to remove stains and really does seem to remove plaque very well. At least my teeth and gums are happier now! This toothbrush comes with a return form incase you are not completely happy. |
