$300 Electric Toothbrush?

[SubLGT]

The last time I bought an electric toothbrush, I paid $80, and I thought that was expensive.

I had the 100.00 one and enjoyed brushing. I bought a water pick and some other dental goodies. After I quit smoking cigarettes, I got into the oral hygiene care as most heart issues come from lack of dental maintenance. Plus a 300.00 tooth brush is still better than 300.00 in chew,beer,etc

My wife's dentist retired and gave her a couple cases of toothbrushes. We'll have to outlive our expected life expectancy to use them all. If we run out of candy next Halloween, we'll have to dip into them.

"most heart issues come from lack of dental maintenance "

care to elaborate?

I spent good money on an electric toothbrush and didn't care for it.
My wisdom teeth came in without issue but I need to use a toothbrush with a small head or
otherwise it is hard for me to brush without throwing up.

I use a toothbrush with a compact head. This one in particular. I also floss daily using flat floss.

There's conflicting data, but most seem to agree there is a link.

Periodontal Disease and Heart Health

Does a healthy mouth equal a healthy heart? WebMD talks to heart and dental experts who debate whether there's a connection.

I prefer the vibrating kind.. yes they are gimmicky but I like them. usually cost around 4- 4.50

kind of distracts me from the nasty foaming toothpaste.. I have really bad gag reflex.

For $300, that toothbrush better pick its ass up from the stand, apply the toothpaste, and brush my teeth for me!

No need to spend 300$ on a toothbrush.
All it takes is brushing your teeth for at least 2-minutes,twice a day. Also flossing and avoid all the sugars,etc.

Your teeth and your heart: What's the connection?

Taking care of your teeth hasn't been proved a key to heart disease prevention.

Sonicare was recommended by my dentist. Your teeth will feel cleaner once you start using one. I also have a Burst which is a Sonicare clone.

Agree, my dentist too.
Both wife and I have Philips Sonicare. Less then $100. Love it, what's more, when I am at the dentist, cleanings are more pleased, little tarter for them to scrape.

 

[terry274]

Another Sonicare user here. And genuine replacement heads, the generic replacements were a disappointment. The bristles fell out.

I bought mine in 2010ish from Braun $100 and it was Made In Germany and still works and holds charge.

I went out and purchased a Philips Sonicare and it truly is better than any regular toothbrush I've ever used.
