 Sonicare Toothbrush delivery November 8, 2003
I ordered this toothbrush close to 2 weeks ago and I have not received it yet. The info read that they would ship within 1 to 2 business days.
I am very disappointed!
 Excellent for Perio Disease and General Healthy Tissue October 2, 2003

I am a dental hygienist and have seen many results from the use of various electric brushes. Sonicare far outways its competitors especially for helping to stabilize periodontal disease in conjunction with a 2-4 month visit for perio maintenance. If the tissue is healthier with normal 'pocket depths,' then the Braun products, or manual toothbrush used with good technique are fine; but overall, they still do not leave the tissue as healthy (firm) as the Sonicare. In all cases, the areas between the teeth need regular attention, ie floss, go-betweens, proxybrushes, stimulators, or other effective tools which stimulate the gums and break down bacteria. The main ineffectiveness of the brush has NOT to do with the brush, but with its inconsistant use, or poor technique by its user. The main patient complaint I have gotten is that the brush is too vigorous for them, but those complaints are few compared to those who are pleased. Hygienist's opinions vary, so ask yours for an assessment.
 I am happier with the Braun. September 15, 2003
I purchased the Sonicare as my first electric toothbrush and liked it. When it died after about a year and a half I got a Braun, the original model. I thought it was pretty comparable to the Braun. When Braun came out with the newer model that pulsates against your teeth I got one of those. The first time I used it I felt like I just came from the dentist. Of the three I've used, the braun pulsating is the best by far. One good thing about the Sonicare is that it cleans very gently if you have sensitive gums. And they have brought down the price from the original $100 bucks.
Major Disappointment September 15, 2003

I purchased this toothbrush for my family in December. We enjoyed using it but when we went to the dentist for our checkups this summer we were shocked. My 23 year old daughter had her first two cavities in her life. I had two cavities. And my husband had five cavities, soon followed by an abscess and an emergency root canal. I was extremely disappointed and called the company. They agreed to refund my money ($99.99) if I returned the unit. I did and I'm still waiting for the refund. In the meantime I bought a new Braun, which was the toothbrush we'd used for the two years before the Sonicare, with much better results. What a costly disappointment the Sonicare turned out to be!!
Buying this machine was an excellent choice! July 4, 2003

I love my Sonicare, it really gets my teeth clean and white. They give you 28 days to see results, but I started getting results in 7 days. My dentist was real pleased that I bought this Sonicare. I highly recommend it to anybody, the Sonicare does all the work....
