Cleaner teeth

My wife wanted an electric toothbrush and we got this one p[...]. Now that I've used it for a few weeks, I'd gladly pay the amazon price. I got a set of sensitive heads because I have sensitive gums and never tried the other heads. I like the sensitive heads. Between flossing and brushing with this thing, my teeth feel almost as clean as walking out of a dentist office. I used to see plaque build-up between visits behind my lower incisors. This brush manages to clean that plaque away. Also, my gums seem healthier. In the past, I'd occasionally see bleeding gums while flossing. I haven't seen that recently.

The toothbrush felt funny to use at first. My teeth felt like they were "buzzing" a little after brushing. I don't notice that any more. The handle feels bulky, but I'm able to maneuver it fine now and I can certainly clean more tooth surfaces with this brush than my old non-electric brush. What's nice is that you simply have to position the brush properly and it vibrates to perform the cleaning. I like the wireless timer that guides me through brushing 30 seconds in each quadrant.

Set-up could have been easier. Instructions were so-so and removing the back cover of the clock/timer was more difficult than it should have been. But, day-to-day use is easy and rewarding.
