Oral B Essential Dental Floss

Advantages: A product which did the job well and improved the state of my teeth
Disadvantages: None

...I like to take care of my teeth and am a regular visit to the dentist. I brush twice and day and yet on every visit to the dentist I was finding that I was still needing a scale and polish from the hygenist. I am not a fan of this treatment and find it quite uncomfortable so asked the dentists advice on how i might combat the build up. She recommended using dental floss on a daily basis. It was a common thing but something which I had previously never bothered with but gave it a go. I opted for Oral B Essential Floss when scouring the shelves purely because I know Oral B is a leading name in the dentistry world so assumed their product would do the job well. I was amazed to find that in this little plastic pot you would get 50 metres of floss! Not quite sure how they fitted it all in but I felt I was getting a lot of floss for my...

  I?M COMING OVER ORAL

Advantages: Effective, really clears up bad breath
Disadvantages: Slightly expensive, not available at some chemists

...on eternally and then I would turn very green indeed, as I had to inhale his sour breath. Of course most of us have questioned our own breath freshness haven?t we? How many times have you breathed into your own-cupped hand and then sniffed deeply to see if you are the owner of orally challenged breath just before entering into a session of up close and personal with that someone special. Well do not despair? I have found the answer to this unpleasant problem in the form of Retardex Oral Rinse mouthwash. Supplied in a 500 ml bottle this mouthwash is quite expensive at around £7.95. However, my friend is a dental nurse and she highly recommended this product. Too be honest I would have tried anything, including boiled monkey vomit if it helped with the stinky business of hubby?s pongy breath. At some point we have all suffered from...

Review of Retardex Oral Rinse Mouthwash

Great tasting booze free mouthwash! Oral B alcohol free mouthwash

Advantages: contains no alcohol, reasonably priced, tastes good
Disadvantages: Not quite icy fresh enough to warrant 5 stars but that will appeal to some

...cancer, and nine times if you are a smoker. Sobering facts! At my local Tesco I bypassed my usual brands in favour of non alcoholic Oral B because, well that was the only one available! Serious lack of choice for this product - Dentyl do one but its about £4 a bottle! At £2.50 for a 500ml bottle I thought that Oral B was priced quite reasonably. The packaging is a clear plastic bottle with a white rather large lid which is used as your mouthwash dispenser. As well as freshening breath, the product promises to fight plaque and protect against cavities. So far so good - it compared well to all the other brands I had used. Now for the taste test! I was pleasantly surprised actually. Its not harsh like the other brands containing alcohol but then again its not too weak - you do get that clean feeling, albeit not as strong but I realise...

Shakira's Oral Treats!!

Advantages: Different to the norm, a bit of culture.
Disadvantages: Not as many good songs as I was expecting.

...OK, so I'm assuming that we all know Shakira, from her belly-wiggling 'Whenever Wherever' hit, well, the album that that song came from managed a massive 13X platinum. Shakira has a total of 25 million+ album sales, and has gathered among literally hundreds of other awards, 3 Latin Grammys no less! Shakira is seen as a child prodigy, writing her first song at just 8 years old, and signing her first record contract with Sony Music Colombia at the age of just 13, amazing. So, it should come as no surprise that a lot of people have been waiting a long time for this album, including me!! Fijacion Oral Vol.1 was released on June 7th 2005, and is to be followed up by Oral Fixation Vol.2 in November 2005. This is because Shakira sat down to write, and realised that she had clocked up 200 songs, after windling them down to her favourite...

Braun Oral-B

Advantages: works
Disadvantages: expensive

...Braun Oral-B 3D Excel Pulsating Toothbrush Fresh breath and nice teeth are always something that I pride myself on and I do believe that having nice teeth really is very important. I have been using this toothbrush for a few years now and I am really very happy with the results and the performance of the toothbrush itself, which is why I thought I would write a review of it. I had this toothbrush bought for me as a Christmas present a couple of years ago but I have since bought one for my partner and that cost me nearly 25 quid coming in at £24.99pence. They are often on special offers and they can be found cheaper on the Internet I do believe. The cost of replacement heads is around the £6 mark, which gets you two new heads, and I usually get these from Tesco and my boyfriend and me will change heads at the same...

Retardex and the importance of oral hygiene!

Advantages: Tastes good and it works
Disadvantages: Bit expensive

...as a part prevention for decay and disease as a matter of course. In the meantime my husband, Steve, had been battling with bad breath. I had always been very sensitive in dealing with him on this issue, but in end gave an ultimatum that it was either the bad breath or me that needed to go. Steve spent a fortune having his teeth done, thinking that this could be the cause of the problem, and in changing his diet but eventually he followed the advice of his dentist and started to use this product. The problem was cured immediately. In short then: What Retardex is and what it does ************************************* retarDEX is a mouthwash. Having said that I understand that they have now bought out a toothpaste, an oral spray, and a specific mouthwash for gingivitis, all of which claim to also help with reducing decay...

More Chuck-Cake (Rant: The Oral History of Buster Casey )

Advantages: forgotten now
Disadvantages: pseudo-transgressive pseudo-art

...of the cyberpunk toolkit (people have ports via which they can 'boost peaks' or peruse neural records of others' experiences which replaced all other forms of entertainment; the society is a bit dystopian and divided into Nightimers and Daytimers, with Daytimers culture seeming to be staunchly neo-con Christian). There is also the notion of time travel and accompanying paradoxes. The book is a pastiche of 'oral history', with the life and times of Rant described, deconstructed and reconstructed by multiple voices of his contemporaries, from mother and childhood friends to fellow Party Crashers, private investigators, anthropologists and theologians. The formula works well, and it fits one of the themes of "Rant" which is an exploration of celebrity and becoming a legend. There is some effort at differentiating the language between different voices...

Review of Rant: The Oral History of Buster Casey - Chuck Palahniuk

The ultimate oral experience

Advantages: Very easy to set up and use, cleaner and healthier teeth and gums
Disadvantages: Cost of replacement heads, no charging meter

...As I have mentioned previously, I am not a big fan of the dentist. I know going there is supposed to be good for me, but he scares me. Or rather all those big, shiny metal pointy hurty instruments do. I am only surprised that I haven't left my fingernails in the arms of his treatment chair before now! And hands up anybody who enjoys having plaque forcibly removed from their teeth by something the size of Excalibur? No, me neither. So, in partnership with my trusty Dentyl ph mouthwash (see earlier op if you can be bothered), I have recruited a Braun Oral B plaque remover (that's an electric toothbrush to you and me) into my arsenal. Mwah ha ha! :-) - Hmmm, Ok, plaque? I do hope that none of you are eating at this moment, as this might get a little unsavoury. Plaque is basically nasty stuff that lurks in your mouth, and can...

Review of Braun Oral B Plak Control Ultra Power Toothbrush

Braun Oral B Sonic Complete

Advantages: Cleaning and Ease of use!
Disadvantages: Price - to begin with!

...Up until approximately eight months ago, I was using your normal, everday toothbrush, no electric to improve clean, no tongue cleaner and no 'feel good factor' if you like, as the toothbrush circled around my mouth. I'd use to saunter into the bathroom at about eight o' clock in the morning and eight o'clock in the evening and give my teeth a nice hammering for about a minute or so. One day, in January time, I went to my dentists, and I complained to her, having being told that my teeth were reasonable, that for the last month or so, I had being experiencing gum problems! Having discussed the issue with my dentist for a good period of time, she strongly recommended using a Braun Oral-B Sonic Complete electric toothbrush, which could be purchased from the dentist surgery for a great price of just £50. You may initially think that that...

Review of Braun ORAL B S 18 Sonic Complete DLX

Oral-Brilliance

Advantages: Cleans thoroughly and quickly
Disadvantages: Expensive

...I had a nasty shock recently. I'm a bit useless when it comes to packing for trips away, and always forget one essential item. Usually it's my contact lens solution, but last weekend I arrived in Manchester only to realise I'd forgotten my toothbrush. My initial relief at having forgotten something so cheap was eroded quickly when I arrived at the relevant stand in Boots. Having converted to electric toothbrushes three years ago, it's some time since I've had to buy a manual one. And so here was the shock - boy, are they expensive! I eventually selected the Oral-B CrossAction toothbrush. It was the most expensive of the bunch, but it looked impressive and I've always been happy with my Oral-B electric toothbrushes. They're available in 8 colours, and three head sizes, with Soft or Medium bristles, although I've found that most...
