I use a Sonicare toothbrush. Best investment I've made.

I have one of those Oral B electric flossers.

Flossing manually is much more effective.

Why floss or brush? Just chew some Trident, gargle some Listerine and yer done!

Actually, I've never used an electic flosser, and the last time I used a waterpik was over ten years ago. I'm pretty sure the waterpik-type devices are no replacement flossing, but I'm not a dental professional, so I don't know.

I just got a Sonicare Elite from Costco and love it. It replaces one of the Oral B electric toothbrushes which, in turn, replaced one of the older fat-headed Sonicare brushes.

My sis in law is the corporate strategist for it but they can't compete with Gillette. It's sad. Buy it....

all the dentists i know recommend the sonicare and say the others are not effective.

i want to get one of those too.

heard they are expensive, though.

Yeah, I'm now interested in trying it, but it's difficult to part with $119.99 for a toothbrush.

That's with the Amazon discount.

A replacement brush head is about $10 at Amazon.

That's a bit steep.

I get my current toothbrushes in packs at the $0.99 store.
