If it isn't enough that dentist charge a fortune for what they do, they have to get into sales of toothbrushes? Next they will charge for parking and offer oil changes for your car while they are working on you. I went to a dentist in S. Florida years ago who I thought I liked then realized how much he was ripping me off, also selling toothbrushes. He gave me a price for dental work that was more than I paid for my car and after really questioning him found he'd do the work for less than half the price. Obviously I never went back.
Electric toothbrushes are better than you could possible do with an ordinary toothbrush but you don't have to pay those kind of prices for them. Check Wallyworld (Walmart) and look for a toothbrush that most stores carry. That way you can get replacement brushes anywhere. I got a very good one at Bath and Beyond years ago (Braun) but replacement brushes are hard to find.
