Review (5/5): Another terrific Oral-B toothbrush!
Anyone who is serious about their dental hygiene should consider getting one of these. I won't say it is absolutely necessary to upgrade from the Healthy Clean Precision 1000, which I also own. This one seems to polish just a bit better than the Precision, which is good, but I thought it might be only due to the head that comes with it being the 'Floss Action' design, which has these little plastic paddles that are supposed to get in between teeth, but also offer a better polishing experience in my mind. Before the Floss Action, I was hooked on the Dual Action which I used with the Precision. If you have a lower grade toothbrush than this one and want more polishing, you might give the Floss Action head a go. It seems to me that polishing would aid in bacteria-resistance since you are smoothing the surface so less bacteria could get in and reside, leading to cavities.
Your whole family can use one toothbrush like this as long as each have their own brush heads. The heads usually come with color-coded rings at the bottom so you know whose is whose. This model also comes with this lovely little plastic holder for 4 heads and a little lid to keep them dust-free. I love it - before, I was setting my head on a piece of tissue in the medicine cabinet. This is much more tidy. This is a great tooth-brush!
