The Sensonic Professional features an advanced design, a bristle speed that is 25-percent faster, and, according to the Journal of the International Academy of Periodontology, is clinically proven to remove significantly more plaque than the Sonicare Elite and Oral-B Sonic Complete toothbrushes. You get superior stain removal for healthier gums, whiter teeth, and a brighter smile.

The Waterpik Sensonic Professional features a new ergonomic handle design with a non-slip grip, recharge indicator light, 2-minute brushing timer, 30-second quadrant pacer, and dual speed control--"low" for sensitive areas, and "high" for optimal plaque removal. It comes with two standard brush heads, one interdental brush head, and a charger base.

5.0 out of 5 stars Like a dance party in my mouth, March 20, 2008

(What's this?)

I had never used an electronic brush before, so I can only compare it to manual brushing, something I'll never do again. The Waterpik does all the work for me and leaves my teeth and gums with that slick, firm feeling I associate with leaving the dentist's office. Programmed to stop after 30 seconds of brushing, the device also has a built in reminder of how long you should brush each quadrant of your mouth. So, there's really no excuse for not giving your teeth the attention they need.

The Waterpik comes operates on two vibration levels, low and high. The high setting is a little too close to the dentist's devices of torture (I have sensitive teeth), so I only use the low setting. It seems to work just fine. I can't imagine any brushing on high, but I can only imagine that a person's gums will become very tough and healthy if they can handle the top setting.

There may be a psychological benefit to using this product. I'm pretty sure I focused more on brushing my teeth (and spent more time doing it) with the Waterpik than when I used to brush manually, but I don't think that will simply be a "trend". The 30 second timer, the professional design and the financial investment will ensure that I'll be more motivated to give my teeth their proper attention at each brushing.

(What's this?)

Waterpik has long been a respected name in the oral care industry, so when I saw this product I jumped at the chance to try it out. Having said that, the Waterpik Sensonic Professional Toothbrush is not all I had hoped for. Let's start with the positives:

It's got a wall-mountable base which is GREAT for cutting down clutter around the bathroom sink, and keeps it up and out of the way of small hands looking to "help clean the bathroom." It also has the prototypical "30 second timer" which has become so popular with sonic brushes as of late. On top of that, it comes with two seperate brush heads (one for him and one for her), along with an interdental brush. Lastly, unlike the Ultreo which has been my brush of choice, it has two seperate speed settings, one low and one high. Overall, it is an attractive set-up and good value for the price.

The negatives:

This brush is VERY harsh on the gums for some reason. I've used Ultreo with no problems for a few months now. When I tried this for a week, my gums bled something awful every time, even on the low speed setting. On top of that, the high speed setting just doesn't work with this brush. You end up splattering spit and toothpaste all over the place, no matter how proper your brushing style is. It's really unfortunate too, because if it weren't for these issues, this would be a wonderful 5-star brush.

As it is, this is still priced decently compared to other "sonic" brushes on the market, but if you're looking for the ultimate brushing experience, I would have to recommend Ultreo over this Waterpik.

Amazon Verified Purchase

This is my second Sensonic toothbrush, it took me a lot of searching to find it again. I purchase my first one from K-Mart and it lasted for so long. But K-Mart closed in my hometown and i finally found it at Amazon. I love the feeling of going to the dentist everyday. It is a great product, and i am glad to have another one. The brush I used in between this one and my first one was not up to the quality of Waterpik.
