buy a sonicare toothbrush

My husband was advised to get this by his dental hygienist. I’m giving it a try as well because I seem to get stains (blueberries, coffee, tea, dark chocolate, cinnamon) quite easily, and my hygienist is scraping extensively during my cleanings.

I noticed this post with a caution of the product. My dad had lots of gum problems, so I’m wary. I’m going to monitor the way I hold the sonicare.

It is taking some time to get used to it, and I’m not giving up the use of regular toothbrushes. Oh, and of course, flossing is still extremely important regardless.

It makes me brush my teeth more regularly because it feels good and is fun. Now after reading that comment about the gum transplant, I will be more gentle. I love getting in there an wrecking things up but now I will not get so enthusiastic with the sonicare.

But I will not ditch it for good. I like it and believe there is more benefit than not.

my teeth are falling out of my head

Like most folks I started using a Sonicare toothbrush at the behest of my dentist. Actually, three seperate dentists over the years asked me to use it. And sure enough, less plaque on my teeth come cleaning time. However, over time my dentist began telling me that my gums were receding faster than made sense. I have clean teeth and floss twice daily. So, I was told to focus brushing the gums to stimulate the tissue. Long story short, I underwent a tissue transplant to replace my gums below my lower front teeth. Not a trivial thing.

The oral surgeon who performed the procedure said that 80% of his clients have receded gums from Sonicare. The other 20% is split between older patients and those that have chewed tobacco. The moral of this story: Beware The Sonicare!

Bought it today. Off the list.

As soon as my teeth are all fixed, then I want to buy a Sonicare toothbrush.

Then again, I don’t have a lot of extra cash right now, so maybe the Dentist can take their time.

I will be buying this after my last dentist appt on March 6.

It’s on my List of Things to Do in February

my first one finally died, so Saturday it was off to BB&B to get a replacement. Got the 9500 Elite, and was surprised the brushes and charger are different from the original models. Highly, highly recommended.

this is definately good for me…
