Dentists all over the country are recommending the Oral-B electric toothbrush. There are several reasons. It does the work for you, vibrating thousands of times a second, it lets you clean your teeth without scraping your gums with a toothbrush, which can cause them to recede and bleed, and it reaches between your teeth to catch plaque and germs. This is a wonderful toothbrush, and I recommend it. However, if you want a review of a toothbrush, you'll read the toothbrush page. This is a page for replacement heads.

There's a lot of confusion about replacement heads for Oral B electric toothbrushes on Amazon, and I just want to give you all some facts. There are only three kinds of heads for ALL Oral-B electric toothbrushes. Flexisoft EB17, Extrasoft EB17, and Ortho OD17. I prefer Flexisoft EB17, which is what this item is. (The Extrasoft is a little too soft, and the Ortho is overpriced)

The reason I mention this is that the prices are all over the board for what is the same product. For example, this listing is for three Flexisoft EB17 heads for $19.99 (The EB17-3 just means there are three of them). There are other offers through Amazon partners for this exact same item for $9.99. Make sure you find the best deal, because they're all the exact same product, listed multiple times!

The reason I mention this is that the prices are all over the board for what is the same product.

Currently, this listing is the best price for this item, but it might not always be in the future.

I purchased a multi-pack of electric toothbrush heads from USHealth Tests and Products (via Amazon) several months ago. Unfortunately the competitive price of this product did not make up for the poor quality and unsafety of it. During brushing, small pieces of metal came out of the toothbrush heads and shot into the gums and lips, sometimes causing lacerations. After this, the round brushing part of the head would come loose itself.

After 3 of the toothbrush heads did this, I contacted the seller by email and then by phone and explained the problem to them. They apologized and explained that this was a generic product from a chinese manufacturer and although they had never run into this/any problem with their products before, they would send me a replacement (oral B original) product. I agreed.

Unfortunately, over the past few weeks, as I began to use these "original oral B" toothbrush heads, the same problem has recurred with pieces of metal shooting out of the rotating toothbrush head during brushing and hitting the gums and lips. I've been using oral B electric toothbrushes for a few years and have never seen anything like this. I'm not exactly sure if this second set I have received are really oral B products or not.

My point is that low price apparently means poor quality, at least in the case of this seller.

[This price] for three heads may seem pricey given what you can pick up three toothbrushes for, but the Braun electric toothbrush is really very effective, so for good dental hygiene it is worth getting.

I like the colour rings provided in these sets, which allow multiple users to make use of a single electric toothbrush handle. The heads go white with use to tell you when they are ready for replacement.

The number after the dash (for example EB17-3) just means how many toothbrush heads you'll be receiving. You can easily find the best deal by taking a look at all the products offered on Amazon, and dividing the cost by the number of heads.

product was different than picture. please make sure the products number if u want to order from this seller.
if it was a right one, still it was too old and seems like outdated(expired) stuff.

after returning to them, i couldn't get refund; i used the amazon dispute claim services for my refund.

I ordered this item from the seller shown above, but got it from different seller (Mr. Bargain). The description says '3 refills'. The package I got had 4 refills, and none of them could fit my professional care toothbrush.

These brushes are a very effective way of thoroughly cleaning your teeth and gums. The soft bristles clean your teeth and massage your gums efficiently, and the color bands are a convenient way to color-code heads for multiple users. There's even a spare in case you lose one.

Of course you should still floss before brushing, but the small soft brush and the speed of the rotation makes daily dental hygiene easy and painless.

When I ordered this item, it was shipped by an Amazon partner, who packaged it in a HUGE box, filled with plastic packing material. I could hardly find the small package inside the carton.

High marks for the product, huge waste of packing material and postage for the packaging.

Purchased these items a few weeks ago. Already one head has fallen off and the second one is coming loose! These are somehow sub-standard or didn't pass quality control. They look original, but aren't up to the normal standard of replacement heads I have previously purchased.

I purchased this from Mr. Bargain. As some others have noted, the package may have been imported from Germany. The text on the package is in several languages including English.

It is a Braun product, not any imitation. I immediately started using one of the brush heads to test it. It seems perfectly normal and fine, exactly the same as the brush heads that came with the original Braun toothbrush.

Mr. Bargain's service was outstanding. Within about 2 hours of placing the order on Amazon.com, I received an email from Mr. Bargain that it was being shipped. The email included the USPS tracking number. I received the product the next day by US Mail, packed in a nice padded envelope.
