Best electric toothbrush?
07-22-2016, 01:13 PM
Had my Braun electric toothbrush for a while and looking to change. Hesitating between:
-Philips Sonicare DiamondClean
or
-Oral B Precision Black 7000
What are you guys using? Please dont suggest the cheap old manual toothbrush, i got no problems against them but really enjoy electric toothbrush.

I've been using a Phillips Sonicare electric toothbrush for years and really happy with it. I'm actually surprised it still works after all this time! I just went and grabbed it, but I don't see a specific name on it other than "Sonicare".
Some important thoughts- be sure to brush really light. If you brush hard, you can brush away your gums. They don't really grow back. Also, change your toothbrush regularly. For a regular toothbrush, after about a month the bristles on the end will start to bend over like little hooks, and you will brush away your gum cells. Change them frequently.
If you don't have one already, get a water pick. It will really help your gums. It doesn't replace flossing, but it really helps clean the pockets between your teeth.

Lots of dentists are saying these days that the Oral B style rotating brush with its mechanical force are bad for teeth and gums.
I have the Phillips and happy with it.

I've been using the Sonicare for 2 years, and would never go back to anything else.

I have a basic Oral B (can't remember model number, but it's black), my dental health improved hugely within a few weeks. To the point where I evangelise against those who haven't gone electric.

Another vote for the Sonicare DiamondClean, though I've never used another brand of electric so I can't compare to the Oral-B.
The replacement brush-heads are expensive (I stick with OEM Sonicare), but they have the bristles on top that change from blue to white to let you know it is time to replace the head. I also like how it shuts off automatically after two minutes so you know you brushed long enough.

I brushed for years with an Oral B moving brush device, after I got a free Kolibree from work (works like a sonicare) at my next dentist checkup I asked how my teeth were and it turned out that they had never cleaned so little plaque off my teeth (they looked at the records) so FWIW the sonicare sonic vibrating toothbrushes seem to be the best.

Is there a USB charger available for the Sonicare?
