Do you have one? Do you love it? I want to get one, but they all look the same to me. Any recommendations?

What can I do next?

I have the sonic care and I love it. My teeth get so much cleaner. The only downside is the replacement heads are expensive and you have to replace them whenever you would a regular toothbrush.

We have SonicCare and we LOVE it!

It's always nice when your dentist asks what you have been doing differently!

My MIL bought all of us adults one for Christmas a couple years back, after her and FIL bought them and LOVED them. They are VERY pricey but work great and last a long time, so far.

Our has a timer function, and you basically break up your mouth into 4 grids and brush 1 grid at a time till it pauses then you move on to the next grid.

I have already decided that when my kids get a lil' older and have most of their adult teeth, we will buy them one too!

Have one.
Love it.
Called Oral B.
Feels like it gets teeth cleaner and it's set for 2 mins (the recommended time dentists say we should be brushing our teeth).

My husband and kids do. I have stuck with the standard manual version, lol.
Theirs are oral B. I think the ones they have run about $30. I bought the kids' with coupons. The ones for the kids are hard to settle on, b/c the brush heads on some of them (particularly the kids' ones- which I totally don't understand) are too big for a kids' mouth!

My husband first started using them years ago, when our dentists office suggested that they are better than manual. He seems to love it. I just don't like a lot of junk on the bathroom counter, and they can be noisy to run and hubby is often asleep when I am needing to use mine (he has a weird work schedule).

We got an Oral B earlier this year when my son got braces. It was reasonably priced at Walmart and came with a variety of heads. Picked up a pack of replacement brushes at the same time. It does have a timer.

I really like it - my problem with manual brushes, according to my dentist, is that I brush too hard - damaging the enamel, but, the electric brush takes care of the issue. Since it does the work for me. LOL

Happy Brushing
God Bless

Some have a built in timer, which our dentist recommends because it's the length of brushing time that is apparently an issue with most people.

I've had Oral B which was great. My kids also have electric toothbrushes recommended by our dentist to ensure a better clean for them. Now I've read all the answers I'm keen to try a Soniccare!

The SonicCare is simply amazing! I feel like I got a thorough cleaning every time I use it. Expensive but SO worth the money.
