Oral-B - Pro 1000

This may or may not be helpful, but I bought a sonic toothbrush, only to find I couldn’t use it. The sonic vibration “tickled” the inside of my mouth and cheeks in a horribly annoying way. I ended up going back to a regular manually-vibrating [Oral-B](https://a.co/d/0m2bsHJ).

I don’t remember what Sonicare model I tried, sorry - most likely a baseline model. But I’m using the Oral-B I linked to, and no mold issues. I do dry it between brushings.

Oral B pro100!!! May travel case na sya. Bought it for 600+ pesos only sa watsons orange app during sale szn. Life changing. 🙌🏻

This just happened to me two weeks ago. I had the Pro 1000 that stopped turning the brush head. I wanted to upgrade to the Smart 1500 for the pressure sensor and lithium ion battery but couldn’t find a white one in stock anywhere. I ended with the iO series 2 and super happy with it, I’ve only charged it once initially so far. But they don’t use the same brush heads so if you have extra that might determine which one you get. My old brush was just over 8 years old so I definitely got my use out of it and decided it was okay to just replace it

I think you did receive a defective item. I also opened my old one but a different model (I think it was Pro 1 1000) to see if it was a wiring issue because it stopped charging — turns out it was a charger issue — but the inside didn’t look anything like that.

I'm a dentist with 41 years experience. Am a former clinical assistant professor at an ivy league dental school. I have been using electric oral B toothbrushes for a couple decades. Our office recommends them to all of our patients. i agree with Wirecutter's pick: *We recommend the Oral-B Pro 1000 as the best electric toothbrush It's been our top pick for nearly a decade, offering a powerful motor, a two-minute timer with quadrant alerts, and an audible pressure sensor. Replacement brush heads are widely available and inexpensive.*[*1*](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-electric-toothbrush/)*The toothbrush has a long-lasting battery, lasting at least a week with twice-daily brushing.*[*1*](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-electric-toothbrush/)*For a quieter option with similar features, though more expensive replacement heads, consider the Philips Sonicare 4100.*

i'm a dentist with 41 years experience i tell my patients to get a toothbrush that costs between $40 and $50 Oral B Pro 1000 is $49.94 at amazon Wirecutter agrees with my recommendation

I'm a dentist with 4 decades of experience. You don't need all those electronic bells and whistles. Oral B Pro 900 or Pro 1000 is great.

i'm a dentist with 40 years experience i use a 5 year old Oral B and agree with Wirecutter: *Our top pick for nearly a decade, the Oral -B Pro 1000 represents a superior value in a sea of electric toothbrushes stuffed with flashy features no one truly needs. It has a plenty-powerful motor, an automated two-minute timer that buzzes every 30 seconds to keep you moving the brush to all four quadrants of your mouth, and an audible pressure sensor that lets you know when to ease up. Plus, it’s compatible with eight different Oral-B replacement brush heads. In our tests, the Pro 1000’s battery lasted through at least a week of twice-daily brushing sessions before needing a recharge. The Pro 1000’s biggest drawbacks: It’s louder than other brushes we recommend, and it requires manual shutoff, even after two minutes have passed.* ***Approximate cost of ownership ($50 brush handle plus quarterly Oral-B replacement heads) after:*** * *One year: $66* * *Three years: $98*

I'm a dentist with 41 years experience. Am a former clinical assistant professor at an ivy league dental school. I have been using electric oral B toothbrushes for a couple decades. Our office recommends them to all of our patients. I have seen no evidence that it causes any damage to the soft tissues. As for *"idiopathic" gum erosion...* Idiopathic quite literally means that there is an unknown cause. There is a reason for a particular pathological condition but we idiots in health care cannot figure it out. Oral B Pro 1000 is $49.95

Good Lord! that series 10 has lots of bells an whistles. i'm s dentist with 42 years of experience. Plain and simple but good quality wins the day. Oral B Pro 1000 works quite well. Got kids? get two of em or get one with extra brush heads. these folks agree with me: [https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-electric-toothbrush/](https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/reviews/best-electric-toothbrush/) under $50

get a $50 Braun Oral B Pro 1000 i take mine in the shower. have dropped on tile many times... its probably 8 years old. works great. i have an older mid level model that is no longer made

Look into the oral B pro 1000. It's a great brush, costs about $50 and has a timer and pressure sensor. You'll get a much better brush than that kids one and it won't break the bank Edit: yes, the heads can add up but the quality of the device is much better and the money you will save by not getting cavities and gum disease will more than cover it imo.

Oral b 1000% is my preference! Also it is still scientifically proven to be more effective in removing plaque

I’ve had multiple dentists tell me the OG Oral-B Pro 1000 electric toothbrush with the oscillating head is the best one on the market. Ever since I switched to the Oral-B Pro 1000, i’ve had zero issues at the dentist. 11/10 recommend over sonicare.

Most of the cheaper Oral-B models have really cheap replacement heads available if you buy them from resellers. I have an Oral-B Pro 1000 and buy genuine replacement heads pretty cheap in bulk (usually around $2-3 per head). If you're willing to buy third-party heads, you can get them even cheaper (down to a couple of cents per head). I buy the genuine ones as an investment in my health; I've found the generic ones to be inferior, and any savings of a couple of bucks would be wiped out with a single cavity. The higher-end models (the iO line, etc) use a different type of brush head that's more expensive.

I’d recommend the Oral-B Pro 1000. it’s affordable, simple, and cleans way better.
