Dentist recommended electric toothbrush
I went in for my first appointment with a dentist (one that was recommended on this board) and everything went well as far as cleaning, xrays, and exam. But then there was a recommendation for an electric tooth brush: Philips Sonicare FlexCare+. I thought the price of $99.00 was a bit high but I was told that it was a good price, so I bought it.
A few weeks after I bought it, I saw Philips Sonicare advertised as low as $37.00. I know they have different models at different prices. Mine has a built in timer so that it shuts off after 2 min.. That's to make sure you brush for at least two minutes. The trouble is: It always shuts off before I'm finished. I find that anoying. Then it has 5 settings (for vibrations?) and I have a hard time telling the difference between them. So that's another wasted feature, in my opinion.
I called the company and they recommended Philips Sonicare Essence. It's sold at Walmart and should be less expensive. If I like it, I can then return the one I bought from the dentist.
What do you think? Do you have one? Do you like it? Any recommendations for other brands?
