May 13, 201412 yr So the sonicare toothbrush takes a little getting used to. I got the one that's about $40. Feels very weird.
May 13, 201412 yr I've been thinking of getting one of those myself. Did your dentist recommend it? You'll have to let me know how you like it after using it for a week or two. :)

Others here have the more expensive one. I will let you know.

May 14, 201412 yr I bought the $100 one 6 years ago and still works great. Only brush about once a week though...
May 14, 201412 yr I use the Sonicare Diamond Clean and love it. My dentist uses it and she told me to get it so I back in Feb 2013 so I did. It took me awhile to get used to but now it feels strange to use the SOS pads that I had always used. As it turned out, the steel wool wasn't too good for the enamel on my teeth but I got them sprayed at the local body shop pretty cheap and they even through in some metal flake for no extra charge.
May 14, 201412 yr Author I keep forgetting to turn it off when I take it out of my mouth. Keep getting toothpaste everywhere!

May 14, 201412 yr My brother and twin sister are dentists, and the recommend Rotadent. Good Lord - did a google search on Rotadent versus Sonicare...people take dental hygiene VERY seriously..one review likened the debate to PC versus Mac! I may even pull the trigger on one to see what all the fuss is about...(although as an Islander - I'm clearly a lost cause already ;) )
May 19, 201412 yr I love my Sonicare. :D I was wondering where you were hiding! I should have known you would be in the toothbrush thread!
May 21, 201412 yr WYE - I have crossed to the dark side... Research indicates that in the UK - the battle is between the mighty Sonicare (Phillips) and the equally butch Oral B (Braun) I finally pulled the trigger on the Oral B Triumph 5000 http://www.oralb.co.uk/en-GB/productdetail/oral-b-triumph-5000-rechargeable-toothbrush/ I shall report back!
