Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The three replacement brush heads in this pack fit all Braun Oral-B electric toothbrushes. They have soft, rounded bristles in the center to protect the teeth from too-firm brushing. Long interdental tips on the edges clean deep between teeth and below the gum line and fade after prolonged use, indicating when a brush head needs replacing. The necks of the brush heads have removable color-code rings to identify individual brush heads for family members. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars An easy, safe, effective way to brush, February 9, 2004

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, massaging your gums, 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 (The Extrasoft is a little too soft, and the Ortho is overpriced)

What worries me about this listing is that it claims to be the Extrasoft EB17, but the picture of the item shows the Flexisoft EB17. Be warned, Amazon might be confused about this item and selling it incorrectly labeled. On the Extrasoft EB17, all the bristles around the outside edge are the same color. If you're looking for Extrasoft, make sure you find an item where the picture matches the description.

This review is from: Oral-B Sensitive (3 Extra-Soft Brush heads) (Health and Beauty)

The extra soft is much more gentle than the standard soft. Noticeable difference, particularly if you have sensitive teeth

They wear fairly well though not quite as long as the regular soft brushes. This is probably because with electric toothbrushes you don't use as much pressure on your teeth.

Another option to get them inexpensively is to use a 20% off coupons at Bed Bath and Beyond which carries all the Oral B heads

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb brush head, this is the same as the ones sold for youngsters, April 23, 2006

Though it might not appear so, these "Extrasoft EB17" brush heads are functionally the same as the "children's" heads sold with various cartoon characters on the package. If you find them listed for about $5 per brush head, that's a good bargain (I've seen 1-2 sold for $18).

Note that the standard adult Flexisoft EB17 has dual colors, while the Extrasoft heads are all blue. Ensure that the description states "extra-soft" and the illustration is the all-blue bristle head.
