Re: Caring for your teeth

I used to scrub vigorously with an Oral B toothbrush but last Stressmas my daughter bought me the Oral B electric, it's fantastic with all the attachments.

Re: Caring for your teeth

I wouldn't be without my electric toothbrush now, I haven't got around to using all the attachments on it yet though...

Just use an ordinary brush-have never tried an electric one although my dentist keeps recommending them

Re: Caring for your teeth

I didn't particularly care for the electric one I tried, so use the regular.

Re: Caring for your teeth

Has anybody tried the little OralB 'Hummingbird'? It is a tiny little batery powered 'digger and delver' - you get just the equivalent of toothpick attachments, which I really like for getting in amongst your teeth, and a Y shaped flosser, which I'm not so fond of, but I don't enjoy flossing anyway

Re: Caring for your teeth

I have the Oral B Professional Care which has 6 attachments - 1 normal brush, 1 sensitive brush, a polisher brush to whiten your teeth, an interspace brush to get between the teeth, a tongue cleaner and 10 interdental tips.

I really must get around to trying out more of the attachments

Re: Caring for your teeth

Im the one who voted 'other'. I use a baby's toothbrush, well I've got a very small mouth and a small toothbrush helps and recently I have had quite a bit of sensitivity in a certain area of my mouth so the baby toothbrush has helped in that area. I use Pronamel toothpaste, very expensive but very good.
