Oral-B Toothbrush, Pro 1000 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush, White, 1 Count, Adults and Children 3+

This Oral B Pro 1000 toothbrush works just great. It has three speed levels. I use the fastest oscillation level -- this may be too strong for some of you -- but it's great for me. Every so often, however, my teeth and gums are a bit sensitive. When this occurs, the slower toothbrush speed is appreciated since the toothbrush is more gentle at the slower speeds. I also like that it has a small blinking light while it's charging. The base model Oral B toothbrush does not. I also like that I can use my generic toothbrush heads from Amazon.com. I have a lot of them. This Oral B Pro 1000 toothbrush device still uses the original Oral B toothbrush heads. In contrast, the more expensive upscale Oral B IO models use a completely different toothbrush head. That means you have to buy the more expensive IO toothbrush heads for the IO models. I don't want to sound too cynical, but I feel it's just another way for Oral B to make more money -- the way Apple forces you to get new chargers and replace as much as possible with every new iPhone you purchase. Newer doesn't always mean better. Sometimes, it just means more expensive. But not for this basic, original, but highly efficient model. The Oral B Pro 1000 is a very good efficient toothbrush.

This is coming from someone with sensitive gums, who had a bone graft, implant, filling, etc. this year (due to my med action as we’ve recently figured out). I didn’t have my first cavity until college, so this last year has been a trip. I cannot tell you what a relief finding this toothbrush has been. Day one - so far, I love it. It’s only been a day, but one brush made a VERY noticeable difference already. I’ve had a lot of issues lately with my teeth, so my dentist recommended the oral b io series (which are $80-$300 ish dollars depending on which model you get). Honestly, you don’t need to spend that much money when this toothbrush works incredibly well %26 the price point pushes it to perfection. The design is cute as can be. I love the pink color. It’s charging well. I’m learning how to work the timer part still, but it seems almost as easy as a manual tooth brush, with the added effect of BRILLIANT results. My teeth haven’t felt THIS clean in so long. I normally used the Burst tooth brush, or a manual toothbrush, but I recently learned the Burst type of toothbrush (and/or other types of vibrating tooth brushes) don’t actually clean like they’re supposed to. They just vibrate. The oral b actually spins and does this motion that seems like it would feel intense—but it didn’t. I was able to use it with an implant screw in (I have to get the implant put in next month). Anyway, I definitely cannot say enough good things about this toothbrush. Again, it’s only one day so if anything changes I’ll update my review, but I have a feeling if anything negative happens it’ll be battery related, not toothbrush related. I don’t see myself going back to any other type of toothbrush again after today, that’s for sure.
