I am a wildly fanatical person when it comes to oral hygine.  It’s a problem I have.  There are worse issues to have, I think.  Part of my routine definitely includes the use of an electric toothbrush.  I love it.  I can’t live without it.  I started using one about four or five years ago and have been hooked ever since.

There are two main differences\advantages that I notice when using an electric brush. First is that my teeth are dentist smooth after normal brushing.  I love this feeling.  The other nice benefit is it means much smoother, shorter, less agonizing trips to the dentist.  It’s a quick trip through the pearly whites for my hygienist now that I made the switch.  They know that you are using an electric as soon as they get started, it makes that big a difference.

Kate sent me an email which prompted this little post.  She asked if I had a preference between the various brands of brushes out there.  I have always been an Oral-B user, currently the Oral-B ProfessionalCare® 8000 Series.  The newer models are definitely an improvement as they employ the ultra-sonic care along with the standard agitation of the older Oral-Bs.  The other major contender is sonicare from Phillips.  I don’t personally have experience with these brushes but I would guess they are also fairly effective.  I looked around for some good head to head comparisons but didn’t find much out there.

Next time:  The Reach Access.  awe-some.
