I just wanted to tell those of you who are interested in a Phillips Sonicare, Amazon has the Essence toothbrush for $34.95 and 6 replacement heads are $53.13. This is an older model. It is the one that I use and I love it. You should know that when you use it, you should unscrew the top and rinse it out. I had the opportunity to get the expensive new model when I bought this, but I didn't like some of the reviews on the newer one. Even though I have a small mouth, I prefer the larger brush because I feel it covers more area and is therfore more thorough. Also, the battery life of the Essence is very good in my experience. I bought mine and my husband's about 5 years ago and they both perform just like new. And like I stated in an earlier post, I've owned a Sonicare for 22 years now and I just cannot say enough positive things about them.

I used to say cleaning my teeth felt better than an orgasm......it really does make them shine......I use a Sonicare and have for 30 some years.....have also used the WaterPik for about five years in concert with the Sonicare. Love them both and what they do for my mouth. I use a bit of a Listermint or Scope or whatever is on sale in the WaterPik. Just tastes good!

Along with your electric toothbrush, get the little brush picks. Oral B and Den-Tec are 2 brands, but there are others. They come in different sizes depending in how far apart your teeth are spaced. I actually have several sizes.

I forget which brand we used for a number of years. First one quit quite soon after purchase. Called the company. They asked what toothpaste we were using. At the time, Crest baking soda/peroxide variety. Was told by the toothbrush company to switch toothpaste brands to one with a lower baking soda content as that was damaging the electric toothbrush. Switched to Colgate brand, same variety and did not have issues with breakage again.

If the type of toothpaste was an issue it should be in the instructions. If not a caution about it then I wouldn't use that brand, why are they trying to hide that fact? My maxillofacial surgeon recommends anti bacterial toothpaste. Listerine toothpaste is the only one that is antibacterial.

Well I guess I am the only cheap one here, I use the battery operated SpinBrush. Got my first one free from a dental hygienist, just bought my replacement at Dollar General for less than $6. I like it because it has the round rotating part, great for getting around the back of your back teeth.
Pre-bedtime regime is getting quite extensive - Brush with electric toothbrush Floss Water pik Mouthwash Night cream under eyes. Sigh....life was easier when I was 40 years younger!! |
