5.0 out of 5 stars I don't know how I lived without it., September 26, 2011

I am one of those people that hates going to the dentist! While I have been blessed with a cavity free mouth, I still hate enduring the scrape of the dentist's tools against my teeth. And I know it's just a matter of time until the dentist breaks out his drill...

It turns out my regular tooth brush (you know, the kind the dentist gives out for free after he tortures you with your regular teeth cleaning) was not adequate for my needs. You can probably chalk it up to "user error".... I wasn't brushing properly, nor long enough to really keep a clean mouth.

I did a bunch of research on electric toothbrushes to see what the fuss was about. Turns out a circular motion cleans a greater surface area of the tooth more completely. hmmm... more research led me to this model - the motorized head rotates in the recommended pattern and the handle buzzes/vibrates in 30 or 45 second intervals to help you judge the brushing time of each section of your mouth. Recommended time is 30 seconds per quadrant. But to be honest, the buzzy feature wasn't enough for me. What really sold me on this model was the digital display that counts down (or counts up) the amount of time you have been brushing. If you look at the picture of the box, you can see the digital display, it's a little bit bigger than a business card, and about an inch thick. As you are brushing, the display will track the quadrant you are brushing, and when your brush handle buzzes, the digital display will move to the next quadrant - giving you a visual que to move on to the next section of your mouth. It will even tell you if you're brushing too hard! When you have completed brushing for a full two minutes (30 seconds per quadrant), the digital display will show a smiley face - and if you brush for another 30 seconds... the smiley face will wink at you! : It's a flirty toothbrush!

My husband and I have been using our new toothbrushes for almost two months now. We absolutely love them. We recieved them two days after I placed the order on Amazon.com. I had to charge them for about 8 hours prior to the first use, but that wasn't a big deal. I never have to wonder if I'm brushing properly or if I'm brushing long enough, and I always feel like I have that "fresh from the dentist" clean mouth. The handle holds its' charge for a long time, I can brush for 2 1/2 minutes twice a day, for 9 days before having to recharge - however, I usually keep the brush handle in the charger when it's not in use.

I was super excited to see this model came with a travel case. The travel case is a hard, sturdy plastic to protect the brush handle, and the detachable brush. It is easy to close and open, and it holds everything securly. My toothbrush will never again travel in a ziploc baggie. :) Yay!

I did have a little bit of sticker shock when I purchased two of these at the same time, and then again when I saw the cost of replacement brush heads. But I feel like I am taking good care of my teeth, and I know my next dentist appointment will be less stressful. Also - I know P&G/Oral-B produced a good, quality product that will last a longgg time. This makes me feel like I've made a long term investment in myself, hopefully reducing costly dental bills in the future. Plus P&G offers coupons on their website all the time, so I know I can save some $$ on replacement heads when I need to get some new ones.

This model isn't just an electric toothbrush - It's quality control for your mouth! I totally recommend it to all friends, family, co-workers, strangers... and to anyone who wants a cleaner mouth, really. Happy Brushing.

My daughter has a simular model that was given to her by her orthodontist,she really likes using it and it works great for her.
I purchased one like this from seller; Alexa's store on Amazon. I was planning to give it to my wife for a Christmas gift,But item was received with the bottom of the box pried open and taped loosely closed with two sided tape,And the contents sound loose inside box.
I could not give it as a new Christmas gift,No one would give a pre-opened oral hygiene product,it may be tampered with or unsafe.
Seller refuses to accept return, And does not respond courteously as expected from Amazon or it's sellers.
I assume these are good products,Be sure to purchase direct from Amazon not site sellers. Amazon cares about their buyers.
A simular model Oral-B was purchased a couple of days before Christmas and my wife is 100% satisfied with this product.
In all it seems everyone is satisfied with this product. Be sure to purchase from a trusted place.

This toothbrush was recommended by my dentist because of continued tarter buildup on my lower teeth between checkups I have been using it for two weeks, and definitely seeing great results. This is a small investment compared to the price that will be paid for gum and or teeth loss do to conventional brushing. I will report back after my next checkup.
