slo’s WEDNESDAY 6/5 poll - Spinbrush vs Regular Toothbrush

[tony67]

I've been using the least expensive Oral-B rechargeable for well over 10 years. They used to be about $15 - now they are around $30

They do a great job and it was recommended by my dentist way back when.
I see no good reason to buy the more expensive ones.

Regular tooth brush 100% of the time. Didn’t like the way the spin or vibrating ones felt on my teeth when I tried them.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

Just a regular toothbrush and floss picks for me. I have very sensitive gums, and when I tried a spinbrush they bled whenever i brushed. Maybe I was pressing too hard, but I never had that problem with a regular toothbrush so I went back to it.

Used a Sonicare toothbrush for at least 20 years, after it was recommended by my dentist. My new dentist suggested I try the Oral-B because I have a small mouth with crowded teeth, and I prefer that one now. I still sometimes use the Sonicare as well, and also use a Waterpik flosser.

Sonicare since it was introduced 30+ years ago. My dentist when I was a kid made a mess of my teeth filling cavities and they have been breaking apart for decades. With the use of Sonicare the ONLY TIME that I've been to a dentist is after a tooth cracked bad enough that it needed to be pulled.

I use a combo of a water flosser and regular toothbrush

 

[PollyannaMom]

I use a regular toothbrush. I have tried the others, but the sound really bothers me.

 

[georgina]

I voted other. I use a manual toothbrush in the moring, and a Quip vibrating brush at night. It doesn't spin, just vibrates. I have good teeth and few cavities
.

 

[CynBeth]

Regular toothbrush!

 

[Wood Nymph]

I use a spinbrush once in a while and usually at night. I use regular toothbrushes most of the time.

Switched to an electric toothbrush many years ago per my dentist’s advice. It is just a simple, no frills one. I am on my second one now. I think a two minute timer might be the only “special feature”.

I still do use a manual brush on most trips though.

 

[Southernmiss]

We use the $5 battery operated brushes. For a long time, everyone got a new one in their stockings

Since the kids are now adults, I've noticed a few have upgraded to other electric tooth brushes.

Dh and I still use the battery operated.

Had a dental check up yesterday and the cleaning went so fast. I was I and out in under 30 min with bite wings. The hygienist said it was due to my good home care.

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I use a Sonicare electric brush. I even got one of those little ones that use aaa batteries for travel.
