I go to the dentist annually, brush twice daily and floss 3 or 4 times a week, but man oh man is this electric toothbrush a whole new world…my teeth feel dentist clean each time. By no means was my mouth poorly taken care of, but it feels in a different world now.

If you can, get one ASAP.

        I saw a battery operated waterproof one that suggested you could use it in the shower. Seemed better than trying to keep the sink clean

    For the record, electric toothbrushes are shown to clean better than manual ones, but there is very little difference between a cheap electric or expensive electric toothbrush. The cheapest Oral B the sell at the supermarket is basically as good as the super expensive one.

    I got one as a gift a long time ago and never opened it. Maybe I should try it… Does it take longer or can you brush quickly with it when you’re in a hurry, the way that you can with a basic toothbrush?

      The brush is still being controlled by you. It just shakes its head as fast as a rattlesnake. Most have a timer built in, giving vibrations every 30 seconds and longer vibration when it’s hit the 2 minute mark. But you can always turn it off whenever you want, whether before of after the 2 minutes.
