We initially purchased the Ultrasonex toothbrush to replace a rotating head electric toothbrush that we didn't like. We were so impressed with how clean it got our teeth and how easy it is to handle because of the ergonomic handle that we bought another one for our kids to use while wearing braces. The flosser is just an added bonus. We didn't realize it but this item is from Salton who makes the George Foreman grill. No wonder it is such a great toothbrush.

This toothbrush and flosser combo has lead to healthier gums and more comfortable cleaning at the dental checkups. I no longer have any visible plaque.

Two things to consider:
This is a single user brush. Even though it comes with extra brush heads, the manual warns against its constant removal and replacement so as not to weaken the fitting. (I change the brush head every month.) So, each member of the family will need to have his or her own SC500U.

The vibration is VERY powerful. One must develop a precise technique of navigating the brush within the mouth without having plastic part of the brush head or stem contacting the teeth. You'll see what I mean the first time you hit a tooth - it'll rattle your skull. I have since become well practiced in moving the handle so only the bristles touch my teeth.

I no longer use dental floss as this flosser is great, although the tufts are difficult to insert between the teeth. The bristles bend and scrunch up easily. I wish Salton would come up with monofilament versions in various thicknesses. A rubber gum massage tip might be nice, too.
