Love it? Hate it? I'm looking at Oral-B's (I liked the Oral B electric toothbrush I had a zillion years ago when I had braces). I'm trying to find a happy medium between my geekyness at gagets, and a good price. I'm mainly looking to get one with pressure sontrol, as I brush my teeth too violently. :rotfl::D:D

Oh man, I would'nt trade my Sonicare for nuthin. I have been using it for about a year and can tell a difference in my gums :D
Dh has been using too and he is a smoker. It has really helped with stains.
PLUS you can get through DRUGSTORE.COM :sunshine:
Also if you go online to Sonicare and signup for emails they will send you coupons for replacements.

Forgot to tell you it has settings for the senistive and violent ( :p)

I was checking out the Sonicare because DS just got an ortho. appliance and the braces are coming on 10/13. I found a $15 rebate somewhere on line (or else it was at the dentist's office?) Search and see if you can find it and save some $!

Dh and I have used sonicare for a few years now and have had a few different models. According to our dentist and hygenist, it has improved the health of our gums big time. Our current model, Sonicare flexcare w/ sanitizer, is amazing. It has 3 settings; clean, sensitive & massage. You can also chose a 1 minute fast brush or a 3 minute thorough brushing. The best part of it though is the sanitizer and the new design of the brush. The problem with our old sonicares was that after awhile, mold would build up under the replaceable brush and would be very difficult to clean. We totally love the new design of the replaceable brush, flat bottom, and the addition of the uv sanitizer. I can't say enough great things about it.

Glad to hear you like that oone. It's pricey, but given what I spend in dental bills, worth it. The sanitizer fills my little germaphobic heart with glee.

Another vote for Sonicare! Definately worth the money... my teeth are much cleaner and my gums are much healthier. I also used to use too much pressure with a regular brush and did some damage to my gums when I was younger. I could not live without it...
