Sonic toothbrush question.....

Mom2Dogs — Fri, 20 Nov 2015 19:01:47 GMT

I have used a SonicCare toothbrush for years....I am thinking about an Oral B toothbrush this time around. Does anyone know if one is better than another?

Thanks!

@Mom2Dogs, I have used Oral B for several years, with the deep sweep brush. My dental visits have been super and along with flossing, gum pics, I've had great results.

I think they are both excellent.....as long as you use them daily.

My daughter recently switched from Oral B to Phillips Sonic Care, she says the Sonic Care is much better and really can see and feel a difference.

We have an Oral B... and I don't think it does a very good job. The dentist recommends this brand... the hygenist couldn't believe that I had just brushed... she said maybe I need to "press harder."

I am looking for alternatives.

Oh wow, @LTT1, and here I am the exact opposite with my Oral B. My dental office recommends them too. Reason I switched, several years ago, from Sonic to Oral B cause the Sonic was way too aggressive, if that makes any sense. But that's why we are all so different... Long as our toofers are purdy, we are Ok!

@Suziepeach

I wonder ... What do your brushes look like? Maybe I have an older style?

@LTT1, it's the Oral B 1000 and I use the Oral B deep sweep replacement heads...

The Cybersonic is my favorite sonic toothbrush. I've used that brand for many years. One of the things I like best is that, believe it or not (hehe), I have a pretty small mouth and the Cybersonic brushes are a fairly small round brush.

You get a lifetime warranty when you have the quarterly replacement brush program. It costs VERY little and you get a set of two new brushes every quarter. So, if anything happens to your unit, they will replace it for you free of cost.

For all these years (I have one and my husband has one) we've only had to request one replacement unit.

I just bought a new Sonic - but ended up with one of the more expensive models from BBB......I tried a less expensive model of Sonic from Best Buy and it was terrible.

My dentist and hygienist recommend Sonicare, but give the manual Oral Bs after cleaning. They also recommended a WaterPik, so I discovered a new type called JetPik on Amazon. This unit has floss cartridges that are used in combo with the water stream. Love it! I also do "oil pulling" with coconut oil. Can't wait for my next cleaning, and I'm always the one who says I would rather have a colonoscopy than get my teeth cleaned.

@LTT1, you are very welcome! I so hope you'll be holiday happy with your new Oral B. I love the 30 second timer so I can spend 15 seconds on each 4 sections plus behind my front teeth, where most of the tartar seems to gather.. Honestly my dentist was so impressed.. I don't miss a day either of flossing or using a gum pic plus I use the orginal Listerine.. Happy teefers are pretty teefers!!

@MaggieMack

Been doing a little bit of that too (oil pulling) and may be getting better at it!
