 Elite Brush Heads - Fair Price, Good Product August 13, 2005
HIgginspug
Less expensive than buying at the dentist or the drugstore. Arrived quickly and works great.
Convenient refills August 3, 2005

This is a terrific toothbrush. You will never go back to a regular brush. My dentist recommended this because I was getting receeding gums and "deep pockets". It really made a difference.

I ordered my item expecting it to take 5 days to receive. But to my surprise, it arrived 2 days later. I was very impressed with the speed of shipping. Plus it was the same prices, if cheaper, than going to the store. Nice not to have to wait in line in some discount store forever.
 Small and expensive heads June 10, 2005

Dear Amazonians,
The brush-head that came with my toothbrush is starting to get frazzled, and it's time to start looking for new heads. (My father always said he wanted to see me get a head...)
I'm completely unhappy about having to spend $10 per head. I don't believe I'll be getting what I pay for, because:
· The heads are small. I've never chosen a "compact head," but that's all that's available for the Sonicare.
· The bristles are a combination of soft, extra-soft, and uselessly-soft bristles. I assume that extra-soft bristles have a shorter lifetime than normally-soft bristles, which aggravates the megaprice problem. Maybe the first couple of days using the Sonicare delivers an overwhelming experience (not really) that's best overcome with extra-soft bristles, but at this point, I would be happy to have a head full of normally-soft bristles. Unfortunately, dissatisfyingly extra-soft bristles are all that's available for the Sonicare.
· The fat bottom of the head disallows putting the Sonicare far enough into my mouth to brush the back of my tongue, so I wind up having to keep a real toothbrush around, anyway. Even if I could fit the head back there, it would be too small for the job, due to my big tongue. Pardon my tangent.
Because the Sonicare is so effective, neither the head's softness nor smallness is much of a drawback. By leaving the scrubbing motions to the device, I'm able to spend more attention to aiming accurately and evenly, to avoid overscrubbing, to avoid falling asleep from boredom, and it does a better job than I could. If I could do it all over, I would choose the Sonicare again over the old method, but I'm still sickened by the single-option of expensive, minimum-value and minimum-lifetime heads.
(The real sticker-shock will happen when I have to throw away the Sonicare because the integrated Ni-Cad batteries cannot be replaced, but only mutilatingly removed for recycling.)
I give the heads 2-out-of-5 Amazonian stars because although they work, they take undue advantage of the customer.
Best luck,
-Neil-
Sonicare More Effective Than Oral B in NWU Study February 19, 2005

My best friend has been raving about his Sonicare Elite for over a year now-- encouraging me to try it. I did a little research and saw that OralB had a similar product and wondered which had a better product-- Sonicare or Oral B. My friend finally convinced me that the Sonicare product is superior, and then I read a review on Amazon from a hygenist who said that she went to a continuing education seminar and learned that Oral B was found to be superior...
At that point, I decided to do some research. I found a Northwestern University study conducted over a 6 month period. Patients with the Sonicare did much better, but don't take my word for it. Read the study results for yourself on the National Institute of Health web site:
[...]
"Overall, this study demonstrates that long-term use of these two electric toothbrushes improves periodontal health in adult periodontitis patients, and that the Sonicare brush is superior to the Braun [Oral B] brush in reducing gingival inflammation and probing depth. Moreover, 6 months' use of Sonicare led to actual improvement in probing attachment levels of periodontal pockets."
