Electric Toothbrushes

Two Heads Really Are Better Than One

Advantages: Dual action prevents plaque build up, timer to ensure you brush for 2 minutes, versatility
Disadvantages: Battery life is poor, can be expensive to buy if you don't shop around

I have a thing about dual head toothbrushes, having got my first one several years ago, an Oral B battery operated one. Sadly I was finding it increasingly difficult to locate replacement brush heads for it, so when I was out shopping a few weeks ago and noticed Superdrug were selling Oral B Vitality electric toothbrushes for £9.99 I decided to see if the Dual Action version was included in the offer. Upon seeing it was, I duly snapped it up and ...
...shut clear thick plastic packaging that I feel is a blight on civilisation and needs industrial strength scissors to open. What You Get Included in the box is the toothbrush, electrical charging base and a spare head. The RRP is £29.99 so I got a bargain. The charging base is designed for use with a two pin shaver plug, so if you want to charge it elsewhere you will need to get a shaver plug adaptor but these can be picked up in the likes of ...

Review of Braun ORAL B Vitality DUAL Clean (D 12 013 )

  What's the buzz?

Advantages: Lightweight electric tooth brush - easy to use and a very effective cleaner. Prevents over brushing.
Disadvantages: Lack of indicator to show battery power is running low. Expensive replacement toothbrush heads.

...the cheaper version of the Braun Oral B Sonic Complete, as it seemed to offer everything I needed, at a reasonable price, and without too many unnecessary bells and whistles. This brush is quite common and can be purchased in most high street shops selling electrical goods. You can buy it at Boots for £99.99 or at Comet for around the same price. However, you will pick up a better bargain online to be honest. I purchased mine through Amazon, where ...
...all noisy to operate. Braun recommends that the brush is moved gently over the teeth in a slightly circular motion, as this will allow the brushes to reach both between the teeth and around the gums. You should only use a very light pressure, as the electrical pulses of the toothbrush should be doing the hard work for you. It really is very simple to use, and being so lightweight to hold makes cleaning your teeth feel somewhat less of a chore. ...

Review of Braun ORAL B S 18 Sonic Complete

The best around so might as well buy it! A Great toothbrush

Advantages: Great looking, powerful, clever brush
Disadvantages: You will end up using the brush more than you need to!

I had this toothbrush for over 8 months now and it's still going good obviously as 8 months is not actually not that long! Before then I had a normal manual brush, so now my energy is much less wasted than before! This is definitly the best around at this time, this brush stands out the most than others, one of the reason is that it has an extra modern technology in this case the little bluetooth screen which comes with the brush, instead of other ...

Review of Braun ORAL-B PC 9900 Triumph Smart Guide

Oral B PC9500

Advantages: good sized head and bristle stiffness
Disadvantages: price

Working in the Dental field myself, I am regularly asked which toothbrushes, electric and manual are best. the first thing I will say is the size of the toothbrush head is probably most important. The pc 9500 uses a perfect size head to make brushing a pleasure. I was able to reach all of the areas of my mouth that people tend to miss due to difficult access. Also the firmness of the bristles is perfect as it is unlikely to cause any abrasion. In ...
...miles, there is something more convincing about the movement of the oral b's brush head it put's in a lot more effective work in my opinion and I have seen many patients oral hygiene improve by miles when switching to these brushes! another fantastic product from the true market leaders! ...

Review of Braun ORAL-B PC 9500 Triumph D 25.546.4

Brilliant clean. Superior to standard toothbrush

Advantages: Deep Clean. Massages Gums. Makes teeth healthy and whiter
Disadvantages: Expensive replacement heads

...anyone. I first bought a sonicare toothbrush in 2004 and then upgraded to this model in early 2007. I have been so impressed; to the point where I actively recommended it to friends. Firstly, brushing with this toothbrush leaves your teeth feeling so clean, smooth and polished. You can really feel the deeper clean around the backs of your front teeth, which I think is the most common place for plaque and tartar build-up. When you first start using ...
...the dental hygenist for a clean-up Since it gives a deeper and more powerful brush - powerful but not aggressive - it also leaves your gums feeling massaged and healthier too. Thirdly, it does begin to make your teeth look a shade whiter and brighter. I mean, it's not going to make your teeth white-white like bleaching would, but for a toothbrush to achieve a touch of chemical-free whitening I think this is impressive. The battery life is good. ...
