Bommii Neutral Newbie November 19, 2010 Share November 19, 2010 I use the Oral B electronic toothbrush, very satisfied with it, which ever brand you buy make sure it got some good motor installed (e.g Braun). Change bristles about once in 4-5 months...bristles cost about $20(3 pieces) while the toothbrush itself cost around $35 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carpinion Neutral Newbie November 19, 2010 Share November 19, 2010 (edited) I'm a convert. It cleans much better than normal brushing. the teeth feels much much cleaner especially around the area near the gums where plaque tends to accumulate even with normal brushing. The replacement brush heads are not cheap though but definitely worth it. I started with the circular action round brush heads: now changed to double action heads: the double action heads feels more like the standard toothbrush because of the larger brush contact area. It cleans better because of the combined circular and up-down action. Edited November 19, 2010 by Carpinion Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vextan 1st Gear November 19, 2010 Author Share November 19, 2010 acemundo, i read that a person's health is corelated to one's dental well being, so do look after your mouth ok ? actually, i want to buy it for my 2 yr old daughter, cos she doesnt know how to brush teeth yet, we taught her but she just bite it. so i think of buying one to clean her teeth. but myself also thinking of using one.

Mazdaowner Moderator November 19, 2010 Share November 19, 2010 Braun is good and lasting. Last one I changed, used for 5 years, not the brush head of course. Present one is also Braun. Am thinking of buying one. Is it effective in cleaning ? What brand is good ? How often to change the bristles and anything to take note of ? Thanks.

Carpinion Neutral Newbie November 19, 2010 Share November 19, 2010 ok, i am definately buying one. no, two ! i will advise consulting the dentist first if using for a 2 yr old though....their gums may be abit more fragile and may bleed easily. There may be electrical toothbrush just for kids...i'm not sure...uou may want to check Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLZT 6th Gear November 19, 2010 Share November 19, 2010 The lazy part about brushing your teeth is to shift and brush other teeth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinydog Clutched November 19, 2010 Share November 19, 2010 Wa, u all too pamper your kids liao. Ma chiam making them lazy by using all automated equipments. My personal take is that it is a matter of teaching. Kids are very intelligent, I'm sure they will learn not to bite the toothbrush in the end!
