Electric toothbrushes

[Andrew Wilmott]

Our Ronson electric toothbrush has died, lasted about 3 years so not
too bad. Therefore time for a replacement.

Which ones do people like and recommend ?

thanks

I think mine's a Colgate - anyway, it was $25 or so at Coles, does the job
just dandy.

Got a Braun ORAL B about 4 years ago and its still working well. At
the time my dentist recomended it strongly, and it hasnt given any
problems. was about $120 at harvey norman.

However I wouldnt say my teeth cleaning is that much better than using
the traditional non-electric brush that you get at woolies for about
$2.

The Braun Oral-B is probably the most popular, and the heads are
compatible across all models, so should be around a long time.
Mine is still going strong after more than 3 years.
Got it for about $30 from Coles.

I've gotta admit that mine are heaps better for the new brush. I fought the
whole idea thinking it was just useless yuppie wank, but it's actually
useful. (The other descriptions may well fit too but at least my teeth are
clean!)

Looks like Coles is the place to buy this particular toothbrush

You may find there is a large range of Braun Oral-B electric toothbrushes on
the market. They range in power source and how well they work.
Consequently, you'll also find they range wildly in cost...

I've had one of the high-end ones for 2 years(How bizarre - we're talking
toothbushes!), and wouldnt go back to a normal toothbrush now. I was given a
noname brand one as a christmas present, and thought it was a real wank
until I'd used it for a few months. Then the bloody thing died, and it was
awful returning to the armstrong version. I ended up getting one of the
Braun models with the second toothbrush (motor etc) included, which I find
really handy. One is always on the charge, and they last a week to 10 days,
so you can throw one straight in your bag when travelling.
The dental hygeinist I attended last year also confirmed an eleccy brush and
one of the toothpastes with the tryclosan (I think) in it is the best way of
caring for your teeth. Dental hygeinist also explained there is a bit of a
technique on getting the most out of them as far as cleaning. She was saying
they are way above how clean you get your teeth compared to the manual
version(if used properly).

My first Colgate lasted just over 12 months. I think too much water was in
it and rusted the metal parts that the battery touches.
Having said that we have another 2 Colgates and they're working fine - we
just take caution - pull the brush out and have it standing upright (narrow
end down, battery compartment up) so that any excess water won't get caught
up in the battery compartment.

I can barely pick my teeth with an electirc toothbrush, let alone brush
them!

Was that all she taught you ;-)
