Recommendation for electric toothbrush

[Born2bwire]

I realize that I'm in the minority opinion here. No, I've tried electric toothbrushes before. They work okay, but I didn't feel that they justified the price increase over a regular one. Besides, I do have a tendency to brush too hard sometimes, a problem that is exacerbated by an electric toothbrush. My dentist told me to switch back to a regular one because the combination of this tendency and an electric caused a minor recession of my gumline on one side. (Left side...I'm right-handed - go figure) When I switched back and paid more attention to that tendency of mine, everything returned to normal within a few months.

The brush in the OP warns you if you are pressing too hard.

I like this one: http://www.amazon.com/Brushpoint-Vit...dp/B002H0KZ6K/

It's about $7 for a whole kit and comes with 3 brush heads. I didn't even bother with it's other accessories. You can sometimes find it at Wal-Mart but it's frequently sold out. Only down side is the speed is very dependent on the battery voltage. Rechargeable's don't work very well. Lithiums work great but are expensive.

or you can get the oral B model 3000 from costco for $85 after a $15 instant coupon; than apply the oral b $50 MIR, a net cost after the MIR is $35 plus taxes. Instant coupon for costco valids from 7-14.

If you have lots of crowns or fillings, the sonic or vibration tooth brushes will sonically cause the glue to fail. They are just finding out that the same sonic vibrations that cause plac removal also cause the glues to fail. Stick with a regular soft toothbrush if you have crowns and fillings.

I think your info is wrong or outdated. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9791789

Just get a dremel multi tool with brush attachment.
