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.

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

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.

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.

Braun is good and lasting. Last one I changed, used for 5 years, not the brush head of course.

Present one is also Braun.

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 [cool]

Wa, u all too pamper your kids liao. Ma chiam making them lazy by using all automated equipments.:D 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!

ok i agree with the logic of the statement you read. but i think i am an exception hehe.....my health is very good.

 

plus i think this dentist a bit yim cheem, last time my other dentist don't give me impression my teeth has bad hygiene.

 

nonetheless, i am seriously considering to buy the electronic tooth brush he recommended. but haven't visited him recently
