Series 5500 Rechargeable Sonic Electric Toothbrush

Én 2 hete vettem meg egy dupla csomagos sonicare 5500-at és imádom, tisztábbnak érzem a fogaimat mint valaha. Barátom használja a másik eszközt, ő is ugyanezt mondta. Más elektromos fogkefét ugyan nem használtam, azért a sonicare-t vettem, mert elvileg ez a rezgős módszer kíméletesebben távolítja el a szennyeződést, ami jobb választás érzékeny zománcra(nekem).

I'll take my 65 Euro "Made in The Netherlands" Sonicare 5500.

This post made me pull the plug and finally move over to an electric toothbrush. I got me a Philips Sonicare 5500 that was [made in NL](https://imgur.com/jDHhqdX).

I don't know if there's any good ones.  I guess there was a redesign in 2023? Which may explain why some people love it and others hate it depending on how recently they bought. The new ones seem to have a screw in the body that vibrates loose and makes the brushing action terrible.  The cheap ones/double packs you get at Costco and Sam's club were terrible out of the box for me. The mid-level ones like 3000-4000 series used to be a good sweet spot, but also  vibrated themselves apart for me. The expensive ones also seem to break, and now you're just out even more money.  I had to swap to Oral B despite using Sonicare for decades previously 

Came across your post while researching about toothbrushes for my patients as I’m a dental hygienist. Not sure if this works the same way in your country but check out dental hygiene schools. We had to find our own patients and it was discounted heavily for very thorough cleanings and education. Great recs already posted here. Keep looking at Sonicare, the 4100 or 5700 models are quality for lower price point. I switched after using oral b io model. A proper hygienist should also talk to you about your diet and eating habits including nutritional counseling as the whole body is connected to your teeth. Cavities are not only genetic, they’re a curable disease often related to metabolic issues, dysbiosis and dysfunctional habits. Vitamin D and other vitamins/minerals are so important in the bone and cellular health so if you are deficient this could be contributing overall. As well as eating/drinking habits. You should reduce anything introduced to the mouth (except water) to only 20-30 min increments in meal time windows throughout the day. It’s constant fluctuations of pH levels that contribute to the enamel breaking down so constant snacking/sipping. If you do have anything to eat/drink, follow up with water and then brush 20 min later. And yes! A straw is a better option when drinking acidic drinks. Also make sure you do not have dry mouth. So staying hydrated and reducing mouth breathing- saliva delivers the good minerals to your teeth and rinses the bacteria off, so when you have dry mouth there is less of this happening. Use an electric Toothbrush or SOFT manual brush if you have to.
