I have a crest one, I think -- It's a battery-operated one as well. Speaking of toothbrushes, has anyone tried the crest herbal toothpaste with lemon? I tried it, and it is gross!
I just bought and oral b 3D excel and I really like it! I was wonder if anyone else has one and if they really help your teeth? I should have just spent the extra 20 dollars and got the top of the line one, but I THOUGHT this one was 39.99..turns out I was looking at the wrong sticker and it was 79.99
My better half(LOL yeah right!) got me a Sonic care last year and I absolutely love it! I went to the dentist after using it and he told me I had no cavities! if you only knew how good that felt! I ALWAYS have a cavity or two when I go and that time was fantastic! I truely recommend them!
Yeah - I've got the Braun Oral B one too - and I have to say it's the best investment I ever made teeth-wise.
Us Brits aren't reknowned for having gleaming white teeth, but this goes some way towards me having a clean, healthy mouth (which reminds me, I need to find GBP1400.00 to have the veneers on my front teeth replaced . . .) yikes!!!!
I have the Wal-Mart version of the Oral B, and I love it! It was just a few cents under $10. It's rechargeable, and it has a signal "click" to let you know if you're brushing too hard. It's good because I can get my teeth nice & clean without damaging my gums (I was really bad about brushing too hard, and if you do that too much it will expose the roots of your teeth & make them really sensitive). The replacement heads aren't outrageously expensive, either.
after using it last night and this moring I think my teeth are whiter already! I should have just gotten the sonic though, but I had no idea this one was that expensive!
Soniccare is the best - tried a bunch of them and my dentist has noticed the difference since I've been using it. If you get one, make sure you get the quadra-pacer model - it beeps after 30 seconds so you know that you've gone long enough on a portion of your teeth.
the one i have has some timer thing to let you know when you have brushed long enough. I'm really happy with it, if I keep using it maybe I will ask for a sonic care on for christmas
I finally decided on the Oral B 3D Excel. I think I have the same one you have, Princess Purr. It cost about $75 at Walmart. I decided on this one because it came with 3 brush heads (the Sonicare I was looking into only had one) and was about $30 cheaper.
I did a lot of research since I'm so neurotic, and everything I read indicated that either one would be a worthwhile investment, so the price difference made up my mind in the end.
I really like this one! My teeth feel soooooooo clean after, and I don' gag when I'm brushing my tongue. It has the 2 minute timer, but not the quadpacer thingy. It doesn't bother me though, because I have a tendency to brush my teeth for 4-5 minutes. I used this one for 7 minutes the first time because it felt so cool
