Sonic toothbrush --- Are you kidding me!!!

[mysteryowl]

OMG! my head is vibrating intensely. It tickles, not in a good way.
Thought I would try one, but it is a fail here.

1. You get used to it

I use one. It was weird initially

[mysteryowl]

3. do you just hold it and go from spot to spot or brush with it?

[Effete Snob]

8. I used to just hold it

Now, I handle it like a brush.

Also, keep your mouth closed and don’t take it out while it’s on, unless you like cleaning the mirror a lot.

It also got a lot easier now that I don’t have as many teeth.

10. good suggestion, thanks I will try that.

[mysteryowl]

11. I just tried it and closing my mouth during use is very helpful

My teeth are very clean, so that part is good.

2. Give it a little time, if you're willing.

Mine bothered me initially, but I got used to it, and it definitely cleans better. More of a problem on the front teeth, rather than the molars.

4. Best clean you can get outside the dentist office

5. Used one for years.

[Laffy Kat]

6. Yes! I hear you.

I tried an electric toothbrush once and hated the vibration. I simply can't use one.

7. I gave mine to a relative

I had the same experience you did

[mysteryowl]

9. Yeah, all that needs to be done is change out the head, making this possible

12. Used one for 20 years or more

And haven't had a cavity since I started using it.

13. You'll get used to it very soon. Guaranteed.

15. Love mine!

I used a battery operated toothbrush (Crest Spinbrush), but for some reason in 2018, I went out and bought a Sonic Care. It does a better job of cleaning.

My dentist told me to get a battery operated one and it significantly cut down on gingivitis etc. Then I bought the Sonic Care.
It gets well into small spaces and gum lines. Only let the tips of the brushes touch your teeth, gumline etc.

16. When I replace the battery, my Sonic is much more vigorous

I think my AA battery lasts about 5 or 6 months. As it wears down the Sonic doesn't vibrate as much. Since yours is brand new, it probably has a new battery. Like everyone says, you get used to it. I really like mine.
