Toothbrush

[jennyjoan]

I clicked onto a very old posting re electric toothbrushes, manual etc.

Came across one that said that the person wouldn't use electric or manual but Sonic toothbrush.

Anybody care to enlighten me - are they battery and when the battery runs out - do you throw the toothbrush out.

Mine has a rechargeable battery in and comes with a charger. My last one lasted me about 8 years and the charger broke before the battery stopped charging.

You can also get ones that take a normal battery like a torch.

I have a sonic. Rechargeable as most electric toothbrushes are. You replace the heads, like most electric toothbrushes. I think they are simply supposed to vibrate at high frequency.

I can't believe what has happened.

About 2 years ago - I did buy an electric toothbrush - Phillips - I didn't the sensation of the "round" head and so bought another one with like a rectangle head- used them for about 6 months - then went back to manual (no reason) - decided over the weekend to go back to the electric and can find the plug/charger etc and no toothbrush. I have looked everywhere so I am going to buy a new one.

Was maybe hoping old one would turn up if I keep on searching.

Tilly my teeth are ready for the knackers yard so that link is very expensive.

JJ, ectric toothbrushes are expensive but worth it inthe long run.

Thanks all for your replies - just looked at the price of the one I have mislaid - £139 reduced to £69 - OMG - how can one lose a toothbrush - only me.

Hi Tilly - we crossed there. I am embarrassed with myself over the loss of TWO toothbrushes.

I can recall bringing one of them to Boots some time ago to buy the correct heads for them - maybe I left it there.

Thanks anyway Tilly - my mouth - teeth and gums are very very painful and I think some time last week a back molar seems to be missing a filling.

Neighbour just back from the dentist. I couldn't believe it when he said he got 3 teeth out and it didn't faze him. Also he couldn't get over the fact that the numbness took very quick. Also he said he was quoted £146 for 3 teeth out and a new plate of maybe 6 or 8 teeth. He does think this quote is wrong.
