Electric toothbrushes

[Puddingbuks]

What really annoys me, is that electric toothbrushes have batteries that last 3-4 years and then you’ll have to replace the whole thing.

I would pay extra for a model with easy replaceable battery.

Indeed, it is immediately apparent how much better an electric brush than a manual one. There is no going back. I was an instant convert after being very reluctant. I started and continued with a basic model ($40-60) as apparently most functions in the advanced once aren't especially useful.

I used to have an Oral B electric toothbrush and I was pretty satisfied with it until I realized that I was putting too much pressure on my teeth, which caused enamel damage. After hearing about this issue from someone else on this forum, I decided to switch to the Sonic Glow toothbrush, and so far it's been great! As a self-proclaimed lazy person, I find that the Sonic Glow is perfect for me as it helps me avoid putting too much pressure on my teeth while also providing a thorough clean. I've only been using it for three weeks, so I can't speak to its long-term effectiveness just yet, but I'll definitely update you all in a few months to let you know how it's holding up.

first post on an audio forum is about a toothbrush no body heard about. interesting

I love my Oral B iO 7G. I don't use all its functionality daily, but in the evenings it is clear that it's much, much better than a manual toothbrush. My teetch have that clean feel. Also, it warns me when I apply too much pressure etc. With a manual toothbrush, I used to apply waaaay too much pressure - so the Oral B is much better in that respect, too. But I only use it in the evening for the truly thorough cleaning of the day, during the day I use a regular brush.

My previous Oral B lasted over 10 years, so they are a quality product. I recommend it.

exactly - that post raised my eyebrow but did not feel I should report it - we will be watching

To the topic, has been using Philips Sonicare since I started with electric brush and will likely stay with them. Happy with ExpertClean but would be buying DiamondClean next if there is a good deal.

And I would disagree that water flossing is less effective than normal flossing. Yes if you are highly effective at flossing, maybe. But I found my Waterpik is much easier and more effective at removing things in "difficult" corners.

Yeah we get that. But this is a thread about electric toothbrush’s and therefore the post is on topic. We can’t just boot someone because we are suspicious. Well we can, but we don’t

I just bought my wife a Panasonic electric toothbrush to replace her "Supermarket" Oral-B toothbrush. The Panasonic has a high pitched whine which I estimate to be around 1000Hz, while the Oral-B has a lower pitched buzz which I think is around 200Hz or so. I could crack out my measurement setup if you really want. If this post reaches 1000 likes I might do it

Were any dental veils lifted?

With the two of them, you can probably play some basic melodies. :-D

My old Oral-B finally got to the point where the battery could no longer hold enough of a charge to be useful, so per the instructions for recycling, I inserted the designated part of handle into a matching opening in the charger unit, twisted, and ... turns out that the unit screws open without damage, and while soldering is required, the nicad cells are readily accessible - sweet! Current models look more or less the same.

In Germany, we thankfully have a state owned testing agency for consumer goods, insurances, finance etc. You have to pay a small sub fee to get access though or buy their magazine.

Recently, a few weeks ago, there was also a review of electric tooth brushes.

The top of the leaderboard in terms of cleaning performance which is also pretty much the best value leader. The handling isn't really good supposedly.

I own this one and it's like a small prophylaxis. I love this thing. No tooth brush should cost over 100 bucks.

Never thought I'd post about tooth brushes at ASR tho.

I've used a Phillips Sonicare for about a dozen years. I did not go to the dentist for three and a half years because of the pandemic. When I did, it took the hygienist about half an hour of very minimal work to clean my teeth and I had no cavities. I'll stick with what I've been doing.

I was happy with my Sonicare until the drive tang fell out. That soured the romance a bit.

Who'd expected the toothbrushes thread to be suspected of acts of pure villainy, I'd better be careful where I put all those likes

I'm using an Oral-b for a while now, quite pleased with it, but I have become curious about the Sonicare and may give it a go when it's time for a change.
