Customer Reviews of Philips Sonicare Elite e7300 Power Toothbrush
Customer Review: When I left the office...
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been brushing with Sonicare for just over a year now - starting with the 4700, and now with the 7300. I cannot praise Sonicare enough! People accuse me of being a walking commercial, but when you find something this great - you've just got to share the joy.Before Sonicare, visiting my dentist was always a really horrible experience. Despite my best efforts with my previous electric brush, all too often it would take two appointments just for a routine cleaning. The hygienist had to scale (and scale, and scale) by hand - because my teeth and gums were very sensitive, and because I had such deep "pockets" (yes, gum disease!) that the electronic scaler could not do the whole job anyway. I needed gas to make it through! It seemed like I always had another little cavity somewhere, and to make things worse, there was the constant look of disappointment from my dentist.
Needless to say, I had to find a solution. I spoke to a co-worker who raved about his Sonicare 4700. I decided to give it a try. It was a little expensive, but after brushing with it just once - I knew my teeth were miles cleaner right away. The "sonic" part took some getting used to, but I was determined. After a week or so, the brush's strong massaging action began to feel really good, and I actually looked forward to brushing.
In one week, my teeth were much whiter. As time went by, my gums became pink and healthy looking. Who knew blood did not have to accompany brushing?
Still, even though I knew things were improving, I put off going in for cleaning. All things considered, can you blame me? When I realized it had been nearly 16 months, I finally screwed up the courage to go.
I had my first post-Sonicare cleaning just last week. I had been in the chair only a few short minutes when, after picking at my teeth a little and blinking her eyes a lot, the hygienist abruptly left the room. I moaned to myself, "What, does she need a jack hammer?" Turned out she couldn't find any more to scale, and she was so amazed she brought in the dentist!
With Sonicare, I have finally conquered calculus. Even better, all traces of gum disease are GONE!!! "Pockets" that were "6", are now "1" - perfect! When I left the office, my dentist smiled at me and said, "Great job!"
I think both Sonicare models are terrific. The standard brush head on the 4700 was a little big to easily reach my back teeth (but I have a pretty small mouth.) Buying the "compact" head reduced that problem. The new 7300 features a brush head that is like a regular toothbrush in size and shape. I find the 7300 far easier to maneuver, but that's just my personal experience. The cleaning function seems equal.
Sure, the Sonicare is a little pricey and the "sonic action" takes some getting used to, but the pay off of healthy teeth and gums far outweighs those considerations. My 4700 obviously worked great (and still does), but the new 7300's smaller brush and lighter handle are really a perfect fit for me. I have not experienced any of the problems mentioned here - but even if I did.... I'd buy another Sonicare without a moment's hesitation.
Customer Review: I've been using this toothbrush for about 6 months now and it has made my teeth feel fresh and polished after every use.
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been using this toothbrush for about 6 months now and it has made my teeth feel fresh and polished after every use. it's also very easy to take apart for road trips. The small brushhead is great for getign around to your back teeth and you only need to use a small amount of toothpaste per use. One negative thing that i read was that the battery cannot be replaced. So whenever the battery's strength finally fades, I hard after 1.5-2 years that it dies and you have to buy a whole new toothbrush.
Customer Review: By it you won't be disappointed!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought my Sonicare Elite a couple of months ago & am very satisfied with the results. My teeth feel so clean & my gums are getting more pink. I have braces & I want to tell you that my Sonicare does not harm them in any way, infact I found it easier to brush with my Sonicare than the manual toothbrush I was using. By it you won't be disappointed!!P.S. You can by the Sonicare Elite replacement heads at Amazon.com for only $19.99 (and that's for two) a lot cheaper than Wal*Mart which are roughly around $23.00!

I AM A REGULAR CUSTOMER OF AMAZON AND IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG THERE IS NO EASY WAY TO LET THEM KNOW THAT. MAY BE THEY WILL READ THIS COMMENT?AND SEND THE BRUSH. MY CREDIT CARD HAS BEEN CHARGED.
Customer Review: Personal dental care has evolved to the next step...
Summary: 5 Stars
The biggest complaint I hear from people about electric tootbrushes is that the replacement heads are too expensive. Come now, that was the type of thinking that would have killed the Industrial Revolution!For anyone who really cares about dental hygeine or even just the way they look to other people, you can't not use an electric toothbrush anymore. I laughed at the idea at first, but once I began using one I will never be able to use a regular toothbrush again without feeling like my mouth isn't clean. When you go to the dentist--what type of toothbrush does he/she use on you? Electric--for a reason, because it cleans better.
The marginally higher cost of replacing the heads rather than buying an entirely new disposable toothbrush is insignificant when you actually feel as clean as you can when you use an electric brush. Personal dental care has evolved to the next step, and you don't want to be caught be the last person using a slide ruler because you were too frugal to purchase the more expensive but more effective calculator.
Your teeth (and anyone who comes in contact with them) will thank you.
