Pro 1000

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

Dentist here with 43 years experience. I have a standard question when new patients come in and tell me 'i have an electric toothbrush'. I ask 'does it have little batteries or does it recharge by something that plugs in the wall'. Nearly all of the patients with the replaceable battery ones have some level of periodontitis. You can get a Braun Oral B Pro 1000 or Pro 500 dirt cheap at amazon 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.

i do not have any knowledge of why one works better than the others this is not a double-blind randomized study in a peer reviewed journal it is my empirical evidence based on decades of observation is it possible that people who do not value taking care of their mouths invest less money in toothbrushes? that those people with $19.99 brushes use them less frequently? that they visit the dentist less frequently? that they are more likely to spend their money on cigarettes? maybe but my experience asking this question shows that an awful lot of folks with those battery powered brushes have gingivitis/periodontitis. Why?? we can speculate all day.

oral b pro 1000 or pro 500 the Honda Accord of electric toothbrushes

just get the pro 1000 honestly. it's basically the same brush as your 3000 without the pressure sensor which you said you stopped noticing anyway. the battery life thing is a bit annoying but you charge it every week or two and move on. your existing brush heads will fit too so that's a no brainer. the io series is a totally different head shape so your whole pack of heads becomes useless and it costs way more for features you probably won't care about.

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.

I recommend the pro 1000 to everyone I know.

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.

Get the OG oral-b pro 1000. Me and my bestie have had ours since they first came out in 2015 and they’re still going strong and my teeth are squeaky clean.
