Electric toothbrushes Anyone

Oral-B here too. What is an electric water pic, mentioned upthread.

Oral B for me too, I have used an electric one for quite a few years now very easy to get replacement heads. Seems we're all loving the same brand from the preceding posts, Oral B, we're your people

I wouldn't want to go back to an ordinary toothbrush now.

Winter white - a water pic is an electric water flosser - it squirts water between your teeth to help clean between each tooth. There are air flossers ( squirts air jet between the teeth) too. However, I was roundly told off for using an air flosser (I floss as well) apparently they are far less good at cleaning between the teeth than good old floss! Don’t tell my hygienist but I still find mine very useful to dislodge bits the toothbrush and floss misses!

( sorry WW-misread your post - can’t see well today!
I use oral B - (we have a couple and rotate the handsets on the charger) and have a travel case so I can take one with me if away. Battery seems to be best on the more expensive one.

I’m a hygienist and I’m an oral b fan . They have a large range with different price points . I recommend the IO range or the Pro range . You don’t need to spend silly money . Some of the top range ones have all bells and whistles which you never use . The important thing is a pressure sensor to stop over brushing and a timer and change the heads when the blue bristles go pale .
Mine has a travel case and I take an adapter plug when I go away

I think my oralB is one of the originals, it’s really old but going strong. it doesn’t do anything other than whizz round my teeth.

I have the sonicare and the battery lasts for weeks. My husband has the Oral B but battery life was less than a week. Reflected in the price.

I've used oralB electric toothbrushes for about 20+ years and am on my third
Can't believe the difference to my old one speed wise it feels its cleaning much better. Backed up by this week's visit to the dentist as apparently my gum health has improved in last 6 months
Also have a waterpik my advice remember to shut your mouth and don't turn on before in said shut mouth!! 😁

We had oral b and found it good, but when we wanted one with dual voltage to take when visiting Canada we could only find a sonicare one. I prefer the sonicare, but yes if you don't keep your mouth shut it does spray! Battery life is really good, and it has a travel case which doubles as a portable charger. It does have loads of options we never use, we just stick to the deep clean 3 minute option. If I could have got dual voltage with less bells and whistles I would have.

I use a Philips Sonicare but they don't seem to last very long. The last couple have develpoed problems just over the year's guarantee period. They have also become much more expensive over the last few years compared to Oral B. When this one dies I'll be looking for another make.

I bought a replacement electric toothbrush for my dh last week. OralB in boots. The prices ranged from £25 ( reduced from 50£) to £350 plus for top of the range OralB. I got the £25 one which has 3 speeds. There may be other things but he hasn’t spotted anything else. He is happy.

This is his third electric toothbrush, while my original one, with one speed, brushes on, it’s years old but does the job.
I can’t believe that people would pay up to £500 which some are, for a toothbrush however many bells and whistles it has.

My hygienist recommended Oral B and I've been using one for years. The charge lasts for several days and the replacement heads are easily available. I haven't tried a sonic toothbrush but I read some reviews where people said they felt nauseous using one so I've stuck with Oral B.

I've also got a Waterpik but I can't get the hang of it at all.

My ancient OralB needs charging once in about 10/12 days, I notice it slowing so know it’s time to recharge. Simples.

Over the last year, I have bought 3 different electric toothbrushes, and not one of them would charge after the initial charge ran out! I am completely mystified! As my daughter says, it must be me that is the problem, but I cannot work out what I've done wrong.

I read that damage can be caused by dropping the charger, which I haven't done, and I wonder if they've maybe got dropped while in the post. Has anyone else had an experience like this?

No, thanks! I tried an electric one when I was in my early 20s, it was like having a roaddril in my mouth!

Never again!

Manuals only for me!

Funny this should come up, this morning I was reading about the best electric toothbrushes. One of the ones was an Ordo Sonic Electric brush(available at Boots, Argos etc) the reviews seemed good.
I have always used Oral B but need a new one so tempted.

Philips Sonicare seem to be good quality brushes, and you can often find them in half price offers in Boots or online. The brush heads are also on offer regularly. They do clean your teeth a lot better than the standard toothbrush, and if you use a water pick too you will be amazed at the tiny food particles that are forced out from between the teeth.

my dentist recommended oral b and I have used this brand for many years. It has been good for my teeth, much better than the sonicare I used to have

Inexpensive Oral B battery. DH had a rechargeable one, but decided battery was easier. Always use a tepee afterwards.

My Oral B ones last for weeks! They aren't the fancy ones, as I really don't want an app or more things to monitor. I keep one at home, one in the caravan and have one in a grab bag in case I have to go to hospital or George Clooney suggests a last-minute weekend away.

They do take ages to recharge, but I only need to do it now and again, and the units are quite old now. I change the heads every 6-8 weeks.

My hygienist is always happy each time I see him, that I use an electric brush. He recommends the ones which go round, like my ancient OralB.
I recharge every other day or so, but it is very old…

BTW he recommends the teepee first, before brushing

Used a Philips Sonicare for many years but find they don't last as long as they used to. The last couple I've had have gone caput after just over a year of use - once the guarantee has run out! Still persevered with them as they do a good job but they are much more expensive than the Oral B ones and I may try one of those the next time.

I have a Sonicare that I’m very happy with. I am with “My Dentist“ which apparently have a deal with the company. That made it pretty cheap to purchase. I think I paid about £20 for the basic model. It is easy to use and cleanse very well. Can’t fault the battery life either.

I’ve always used the Oral B but changed to SURI early this year because I was using the Oral B so hard I was making my gums recede too much. The SURI is good if you want a much gentler brush (still thorough) but you cannot go as hard with it also it’s battery lasts a good 3/4 months I’ve found!
