My child, as most do, does not really enjoy brushing his teeth. When I explained to him that a single stroke with this toothbrush equals many many brush strokes with the Oral B, he was sold. It helped him transition to the Oral B. The results....more brushing and less cavities.
I have used an oral b for the last ten years. I love the feel of the electric brush on my teeth and with the deep sweep head I cant imagine going back to a manual brush.
I have this brush, but I had the regular Oral-B 5000 first (they are the exact same brush, the only difference is the brush head). This is my review of the regular Oral-B 5000.
"My wife has used an electric tooth brush for years and has always been trying to get me to use one. I eventually tried it out and honestly couldn't believe how clean my teeth felt. I don't think I could ever go back. When I am camping or something and have to use a manual toothbrush fro a week I feel like my mouth is really nasty and I am happy toy use this brush when I get home. I have had this toothbrush for 2.5 years and it still works great."
When I first purchased the product, I loved it! My favorite part of it was the timer, which influenced me to make sure I brushed for at least two minutes. But now a couple months later, I feel that the handle does not keep a charge as long as it used to, which is disappointing considering how expensive it is. I also feel that the amount of power portrayed during brushing fluctuates. I do not know if I would purchase another one in the future.
I recently purchased this ET and I felt difference immediately. I am a hygienist and I usually brush with a manual brush. But after trying this one, I was sold. I now recommend this power brush to my patients. Great brush Oral B!
