Teeth

[bertine]

I have to say that every penny I spent on my electric toothbrush was worth it. For the last two years I have been told that my gums look great and I haven't heard anything about flossing. Also, no cavities. I love 15 min dentist visits.

what kind of toothbrush is it?

what kind of toothbrush do you have? jake & i have been considering one. i despise flossing, so i think it might be a good option.

The $20 oral-b rechargable electric toothbrush. (It is the toothbrush heads that cost all the money.) I love it, I can take it in the shower and it pulses when I have brushed long enough.

this one

this one. The tooth brush wasn't much but the heads are like $4 a piece. That adds up pretty fast. However, I also hate flossing and rarely do it. It takes a few days to get used to it and you learn quickly not to open your mouth while you are brushing but once you get used to it a manual toothbrush doesn't clean as well.

I like it because it is water resistant and can go in the shower.

awesome! it's cheap! all the ones i've seen are bajillions of dollars. i e-mailed it to jake, but i think i might be ordering one of these babies!

I just notice that you can buy 10 heads for it for pretty cheap.


Yeah, I didn't want to pay a lot for one so I bought the cheapest one that looked durable. I like the little head because it makes it easy to get to the back teeth.

I feel like a salesman now. Ha!

I had one similar to that and it did a great job cleaning my teeth, but the design had only the brush part of the head being replaceable, and the there was a hole further down (but not far down enough to stay out of your mouth) that got really nasty and I had to throw the whole thing away. This looks like a nice replacement!

This one is completely contained and is easy to clean. I had one where you had to replace the batteries and it was so gross after about a year that I just got rid of it.

Wow, I gotta get me one of those. I, too, despise flossing. The sensation of floss on tooth sends chills up and down my spine just thinking about it.

Brrrrr.

I don't know why I hate it, just I do. Anyways, I went to the dentist today and they said "Good job on flossing" when I haven't in a long time.

$20 electric trickery! I approve entirely.

BTW did I tell you I went back to Robotskull for a few minutes the other day? I see some things never change.

I love it!

No, I don't have much interest in it anymore. I only login to get and respond to messages now. It is a little weird to see everyone out of college and growing up.

Maybe I should get an electric toothbrush. I hate flossing, and I love my chocolate. I brush a lot, but I can tell, from time to time, I get weak spots.

I started using it when I got a crown a couple years ago and since then the only work I have had done is a replacement on a filling that was 20 years old. Before that I would get get the talk about flossing every time I went in. I have never had such nice dentist appointments.

Bleh. The "flossing talk." Like I've got nothing better to do than floss *eats donut.*
