Customer Reviews of Oral-B Professional Care 1000 Power Toothbrush
Customer Review: Worry-free smile
Summary: 5 Stars
I was one of those people who didn't have any tooth problems and didn't see any need to go to the dentist. When I finally broke down and went to see my doctor there was a bit of cleaning to do and a strong recommendation to use this toothbrush. I have to say it was the best thing I have ever done for my teeth and my smile!The small head allows me to reach all areas, even those in-between places. Although I don't normally brush for 2 full minutes, the built-in auto-timer works as a good signal that I'm done. Because I feel more confident that the brush is cleaning well, I don't feel a need to press hard and be rough on my gums. I come away with confidence that my teeth and smile are both healthy. My dentist has definitely noticed the difference.
I've had my Braun Oral-B 3D Excel for over 2 years and it is still working well. It needs to be recharged a little more often (about 1x/week) than when it was new, but other than that it still works great. I do find that water gets trapped in the metal stem housing and need to shake it out. The colored bristles on the brush head are not a very reliable indicator of wear. It seems to take a while for the blue color to fade and the brush needs replacement long before that happens.
Customer Review: Best Toothbrush Ever!!!!

I bought one of the Braun Oral-B 3D toothbrushes about 2 years ago when they first came out. I am one of those people who dreads going to the dentist ( probably beacause of the inevitable cavity). It was about 4 years since I went to the dentist when I went last week. I fully expected big problems like cavities or even a root canal, because when I had gone to the dentist last time (4 years ago) I had a couple cavities and also some gingivitis. To make matters worse I drink soda almost every day. After I told my dentist this I could see the Dollar signs in his eyes. He did a ton of x-rays, and then left to examine them. When he came back into the room, he had a kind of stunned look on his face. I had no cavities and my gums were perfect. No, I never floss either. I told him that I had been using the Braun for the last 2 years. He told me to definetly continue using it. I only brush at night, but I always go the full 2 minutes on the timer. By the way, my wife had been using the Braun for the same amount of time. She saw the same dentist on the same day. No cavities after 2 years and perfect gums. Buy the 3-D. It's DEFINETLY worth the extra money. P.S., I use the cheap Ultra Brite toothpaste.Customer Review: Must have! It really really really really works!

I've had mine for several years now and I could not be more pleased. I'm not going to go into details about all the things everyone else has already said, but I do have a fantastic tip to share.
Lay down on the bed while brushing! Brushing at the sink for 2 or 3 minutes seems like an eternity (especially if you are one of those people who often gets the toothpaste drooling down your chin). Laying down while brushing is one of the best ideas I have ever had. Try this for at least a week and you will be hooked! Relax. Let the toothbrush do the work while you lay down and relax. Enjoy the feeling of the toothbrush massaging your gums and cleaning your teeth. Take your time, and RELAX! (I know, I keep saying relax over and over, but seriously, try taking a little meditation and relaxation break). This makes a mundane chore actually quite enjoyable. If you do this, you will find that you brush longer, and you AND your dentist will notice the results. WARNING! Wait until you get back to the sink to brush your tongue so you don't gag or choke.
By the way, I also have a Sonicare and use it on a regular basis but I prefer this one because it's more controllable.

I've been using the oral b electric toothbrushes for about 4-5 years now. My old model a solo, the base model, finally died after about 5 years, so I bought the 3-D Excel as a replacement. The vibration feature is fantastic, the 2 minute timer is better than the 1 on the old model. I've tried the sonicare brush, and the oral b is just so much more effective. I havent gotten a cavity in 5 years, and finally since at the advice of my herbalist, I've started using Peelu Dental Fibers (from a health food store) along with switching over to japanese Bamboo Salt toothpaste daily on the 3-d excel model, I have actually gotten rid of the gingivitis that has plagued me for the past 15 years, literally within 2 weeks (and even the gum treatments at the dentist did not do that). I got this brush for my father as a gift (he'd been using manual toothbrushes) and he is so converted that he bought brushes for my mother, sister, and brother and law who were as he called it "brushing the primitive way". Honestly, my mouth does not feel clean brushing with anything else anymore. Its definitely worth the money.Customer Review: Excellent Toothbrush
