Reddit mentions of Oral-B Pro 1000 Power Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush Powered by Braun

The replacement heads are relatively cheap. It's cheaper to replace a warn out head than the whole toothbrush. And it's frugal to spend a little more on a better toothbrush to avoid dental bills. Oral B is only $40 on Amazon I've had mine for years

If you rinse your mouth, or drink water after drinking tea this helps.

Brushing is even better than rinsing.

Drinking tea faster, and rinsing or brushing sooner (rather than later) after drinking tea minimizes the time the tannins are exposed to the teeth and mitigates staining.

Drink green or white tea, like you said.

Use a peroxide based pre-brush whitening rinse if your dentist says it's OK for you to do so.

Use an Oral-B electric toothbrush like this one if your dentist agrees (https://www.amazon.com/1000-Rechargeable-Electric-Toothbrush-Powered/dp/B003UKM9CO?th=1)

Professional cleanings every six months . . .

The difference is not clinically significant. Evidence shows that both clean better on average than manual brushing, but they both work roughly the same.

Kind of stinks most people can't try em both, because they both feel different. FWIW, personally, the Sonicare's buzzing gives me a nails on chalkboard kind of feel while the Oral B is more of a physical rumble.. however, my fiancee prefers the opposite so YMMV. Tons of people go with either Sonicare or Oral B and in the end it doesn't matter.

[here is a quality oral b pro 1000 for $40 on amazon](https://www.amazon.com/1000-Rechargeable-Electric-Toothbrush-Braun/dp/B003UKM9CO/ref=sr_1_3_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1541814378&sr=8-

here is the most basic sonicare for $20 on amazon; my fiancee used to use it before I gave her mine, but it still worked fine for her.. just the heads are bulkier than the more expensive ones

Or get more expensive ones if you like things like quadrant timers, sensitive/low power settings, bluetooth capability (why?), etc.

Is this toothbrush good?

Or should I end up investing in a "Pro" one?

For those interested, the Oral B 1000 is on sale for $20 after rebate on Amazon right now.

It's similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Oral-B-Professional-1000-Electric-Toothbrush/dp/B003UKM9CO

This one looks like a new, space-agey version of mine.
Also, They recommend that you replace the TB heads every month or so, I think. Those are pretty expensive. However, I bought a lot of them online from Germany for about $10.

Just make sure to be lazy with it, hold it on the surface you are cleaning and move to the next surface without scrubbing as this will damage your gums far more than a manual toothbrush.

I got the Oral B Pro 1000 from Amazon about a month ago. It has been the best toothbrush I have ever had. The reviews agree with me too.

http://amzn.com/B003UKM9CO If you want to KNOW that you're not using too much pressure, this model of Oral-B (and up) will stop pulsing when you press too hard. I usually recommend this.

Hello and thank you for the contest! :)

1. This amazing crockpot. This bad boy is easy to clean, dishwasher safe parts, and is programmable!!
   
   
2. This toothbrush - this thing is rechargeable and removes 100% more plaque than regular brushing - and sensor tells you when to switch areas of the mouth. Sweet!
   
   
3. Wildflower by Drew Barrymore - I've been dying to read this and it's supposed to be a really good memoir. :)
   
   
4. Macintosh Apple Candle - this smells SO good and fills up the whole house with yummy-ness.
   
   
5. This chenille blanket - so soft and warm! I love blankets and throws and this one will be so cozy.

Use an electric tooth brush. I found sores are caused by knocking/stabbing my gums with the hard plastic of a regular toothbrush and nothing to do with the actual bristles of the brush. An electric toothbrush doesn't involve jabbing and the friction of the head is unlikely to cause sores.

Since I've used one, I've not had a single sore.

I'm using an Oral B one (like this) and I've payed quite a lot for the replacement heads, buying in bulks you could say, and trying to find the right one, but none to my satisfaction. The battery life is very poor.

I didn't know UV is controversial. Was thinking of getting an ultra sound one, where you use a kind of a gel on your teeth and the actual brush has no bristles. I'm looking into the ones you named as well.

Is it this one? I got that one after reading this nice comparison review of various models.

Wisdom. I do all of this, and my teeth feel the great. If you shop around you can get good deals:
