Customer Reviews of Oral-B ProfessionalCare 8900 DLX OxyJet Oral Care Center
Customer Review: Best toothbrush I've ever used.
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd been using a fancy Sonicare toothbrush for about a year when my dentist told me I had gum disease. I had to go through an unpleasant scaling procedure to do a deep gum cleaning. Afterwards, we talked about my brushing habits. I told him I didn't know what I was doing wrong, since I flosh, use listerine, and use an electronic toothbrush twice a day. He asked me if it was a sonic toothbrush. When I said yes, he told me to get rid of it and to buy an oral-b mechanical toothbrush. He said that sonic toothbrushes just don't get the job done. I was hesitant to do so, and continued using my Sonicare for another 6 months. A week before my next checkup, I noticed some significant plaque buildup on my teeth. I felt really frustrated as I had taken great care to brush thoroughly since my last dentist visit.
I finally decided to buy this toothbrush set. The difference was immediate. The general clean feeling after brushing with the oral-b brush made a huge difference. Within a couple of days, I started noticing a lot of the plaque built up was being brushed away. The OxyJet irrigator is nice, as well, and can extract some food particles from underneath the gumline. My dentist was very happy that I had finally switched toothbrushes. I had one cavity, and I'm sure that my next visit will be a lot more successful.
No matter how thoroughly you brush, if you're using the wrong tool, you could be wasting your time. I learned this the hard way, and I'm really glad I switched. My teeth feel cleaner than ever since I've switched, and I'll never go back.
Customer Review: Great step to complete oral health
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used many different oral irrigators and a couple of electric toothbrushes. I wasn't to particular at this point. Then my boyfriend was told he had to have "scaling and planing" to correct his gum disease and we both freaked. We knew that we had to improve our program. We did the research. After reviewing and reading and asking around, we come up with the Oral B 8900. The battery operated brush seems very much like the Sonicare unit in its effectiveness. The selling point of this particular unit is the water jet. It is awesome and I recommend it to anyone. The settings of pressure are from 1 to 5...I have always maxed out oral irrigators in the past and never found much to get excited about. With this unit I have yet to go over a 3 and may in time work up to a 4 or 5 level, but only with consultation with my hygenist. The unit also come with a tongue cleaner that is attached to the battery unit. Much easier to use that manual cleaners. All in all, my boyfriend just spent over 4K and some VERY unpleasant days in periodontal agony. I am sure this little unit will keep me out of the surgeons chair and my boyfriend wants to be sure never to end up with gum disease again. "an once of prevention......"Customer Review: As good as it should, some enhancements onto 7900
Summary: 5 Stars
There is a 7900 in our house for years, works like a charm. But the tiny pipe for irrigator was cracked month ago (no reason or cause to it, just crack?!). So my wife decides to have a new one, coz it cost $40+ to replace a new pipe for that one (that's NOT an environmental friendly way to push new sales).
All in all, 8900 is pretty much the same as 7900. the noticeable difference are two, the brush housing and the control button.
8900's housing looks more updated, fashionable. Though, there is a question about how good it can prevent water gets inside. 7900, on the contrary, wears a rubber outwear covers the button, which looks more water proof to me.
8900 is designed to be able to customize to user's preferred rotation speed. Just press down the button and hold it, the brush will start from the highest speed and gradually lower its speed, release the button at the speed you want it. 7900 has only off, highest and low mode.
Customer Review: This product has SAVED ME!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased the Oxy Jet care center over a year ago. I had found out from my dentist that my gum line was receding and if it progressed, I would be faced with surgery and who knows what else? (Pain, dentures, etc) I under went a deep cleaning and purchased the Oral B Oxy Jet. At first I was diligently using the Oxy jet 2 times a day after brushing. As time went on, I'd skip a few days of using the oxy jet but of course continued to brush. My last dental check up was great, my dentist told me that my gums had greatly improved, were in great shape and that "I was doing very well". She seemed very surprised and I told her what I had been using. She said that she recommends any water jet cleaning in addition to brushing to her patients.
I am very happy with this product. I would recommend using the Floss Action brush heads, they are much better at cleaning.
Customer Review: Best oral irrigator system around
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my second Braun oral irrigator system. The last one held up for almost 10 years and this one seems to be pretty much the same high quality. The toothbrush is fine, nothing special, and it only comes with brushes for one person (a regular brush and one for polishing). The handle of the toothbrush has a blue light that stays on all the time (it blinks when charging). If you need a nightlite in your bathroom, that's great, otherwise it's just wasted energy. The really superior part is the oral irrigator. It has a very nice, smooth feel and does not irritate the gums. It requires two button pushes to activate (unlike the old design), one on the side of the unit and one on the irrigator handle. It took me a while to figure that out! The irrigator has color-coded tips for four users. All-in-all, a "best in class" product.
