low-tech is best for toothbrushes, in my opinion.

Yes I do, Just recently I got one...it was really cheap and I needed a tooth brush so I figured I'd try it. It works pretty good. Now if only I could find some beef flavoured tooth past or strawberry flavoured tooth past to go with it.

No but both my kids do. I have to laugh when they say "Mom, the batteries in my toothbrush are dead -- what do I do?"
Kids these days...sigh...they are just SO spoiled!

Yes, I just bought one a few months ago. An Oral B/Braun sonic one. I like it.

I always thought the same thing before I bought mine, but the sonic ones really do clean your teeth better. The brush stroke count is something like 100/min, faster than you could ever brush manually, and that's why they clean your teeth so much better and make them so much whiter.

Dude, my toy....the Sonicare Elite 7500.... is more expensive than other options, but wins groovy comments from dentists, testers, and consumers. Dr. Kimberly Loos, a California dentist, answers a reader's question about the Sonicare on ParentsPlace.com. Loos says that she noticed improvement in her patients' periodontal disease after they started using the Sonicare, and says the sonic properties of this toothbrush are similar to the ultrasonic cleaning equipment used in dentists' offices. Pretty kewl, huh ?

An electric toothbrush? I never have - although they're supposed to be better than normal ones. I should look into them.

Matty, I cannot believe your response?....... What For?..... It does work very effectively and studies have shown this, the oscillating heads do seem more effective
Matty
(reply to gambler) posted 8-Jun-2005 2:20pm  
ok, but I floss, too. My dentist has told me flossing is far more effective than any of that stuff. So, to me, an electronic toothbrush seems like a waste.

Yes, often I use Sonicare. Never thought teeth could feel so clean. Other times I like a good manual brush.

The soniccare pulses with ultrasonic power even between the teeth. I feel like a commercial here.  * rolls eyes * So even more effective after flossing.

according to whom; though I am not questioning your veracity, I would have to hear that from my dentist.

According to me, altho I am not a dentist with a dentist degree, I am a conscience consumer. Your dentist may not have tried the sonicare. And not to seem flippant, ask a dentist who has tried one if you need to hear it from someone with a degree.
Matty
(reply to cloudhugger) posted 9-Jun-2005 6:14am  
maybe not, tell you waht, I'll ask my dentist

There is a personal satisfaction with doing our own research and not relying on one persons opinion. We all share great knowledge but sometimes the more people we ask the more confused we can be. Trying the sonicare yourself may be the answer you are looking for. If I sell you on this tell me and I will invest in their stock!
Matty
(reply to cloudhugger) posted 9-Jun-2005 11:50am  
satisfaction of personal research can be satisfying, yes. However, possessing requisite knowledge is often more important. I simply can not research every topic relevant to me and appropriately enlist the help of experts like my dentist.

My dentist is the one who recommended I start using a sonic toothbursh...and not for sales purporses, either, he admitted that they sold them at the office, but to go out and look for at Costco (wholesale club) because it would be cheaper.
