Review (4/5): Highly recommended
I hate visiting the dentist, just like everyone else. However, back in 1994-1995 my friend (who's a dental assistant no less) recommend the new Braun/OralB Plaque Remover.
Needless to say, I have been using it every day since. Actually, the first one died after 5 years (what do you expect for a Ni-Cad battery) and my replacement unit just died this past month. So I am on my quest to purchase my third unit. And that's not a bad thing. I think 4 years use out of each one is pretty decent.
All of the other positive reviews here on Amazon are correct. The Braun Oral-B Plaque Remover does get your teeth really clean. It gets into places where you just can brush very well manually.
If you don't have one, get one -- that is, if your teeth are important to you.
Update 4/6/04: Almost 2 years have passed since I wrote the review above. The products are still working great, however, the brushes seem to be losing power as time goes on. I've followed the discharging instructions included with the product, but it still has not helped. Therefore, my rating has gone from 5 stars, to 4.
I wrote to Oral-B several times about this, but never received a reply. My previous Oral-B brushes had the same problem, but I attributed it to the fact that they had Ni-Cad batteries whereas the new ones have Nickel-Hydride.
