Customer Reviews of Sonicare PS-1 Sonic Toothbrush
Customer Review: If at first you don't like it, ignore it THIS THING IS GREAT
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of those items, that make you at first think, eh I have mixed feelings. After your gums get accustomed to the massage, and the intensity of the brushing, you will know that it is one of the single best things you have done to your smile. When flossing, my gums used to bleed, now they don't bleed any more. I had gum lines that were receding, even though some of them were only back 1 to 3 on a scale of 10. I had a wisdom tooth that incurred periodontal disease, The dentist went around it with a metal probe, to release the infection, and gave me a prescription for antibiotics. He explained that it would be healed, but still must be pulled because it would for sure return. I guess once that infection gets down under the tooth, it sets up shop, and returns. I had to go to a dental surgeon and have it removed. After that, I got a scolding from the dental hygienist. She explained that all the the bleeding that I was getting from my gums when flossing was not normal. It was due to bacteria. So I started to scrub more often, and floss, and use an alcohol based mouthwash. (Most of them are)
It wasn't until I started to use the Sonicaire toothbrush that I really noticed a change. No more bleeding gums (unless I abuse the floss) My gums have moved down. I had a crown placed on a tooth that was far enough gone, that when the crown was put on, I could take a fingernail, and push the gum up slightly, and feel the top of the crown. Now I push the gum up with my fingernail, and the top of the crown is entirely inaccessable.
Why should you get a Sonicaire toothbrush? Consider that most tooth aches come from Gingivitus. That is an irritation of the gum line. Tartar and plaque join forces with bacteria, and wage a war with your gum line. Scrubbing with baking soda and some peroxide used to take care of that for me.(Being careful not to swallow any of it.) Now with Sonicaire, I never get Gingivitus any more. The next level is Periodontal disease as I explained earlier. Once you get that, if it is a crown, or a tooth, they are forced to do bridgework. I don't know if you have checked the prices on bridgework, but forget about that new car. Regular brushing with Sonicaire, with regular dental check ups, flossing, and a good mouthwash, and you can help prevent all of that. Now let's get on to the fun stuff.
I can notice a substantial improvement in the color of my teeth. They are white now, instead of manila. (I won't say yellow) Seriously, I smile in the mirror with the light on, just to delight in the new shade of white my teeth have become.
On a practical note: I use the Sonicaire in the shower, even though the instructions tell you not to. Immersing the unit, is definitely not advisable. Rinsing it off after every use is neccessary. Therefore I took it upon myself to use it in the shower, being careful to park it on a ledge that is not in the line of any overspray. Then when I am done with my massage, I mean brushing, :-) I give it a quick rinse, holding it straight up, so the business end is not getting force fed. I haven't had any problems with it. I really like using it in the shower, makes me feel like it is a luxury massage for my teeth. I even renew the toothpaste application, to the head, for my lower teeth. The unique thing is that the head is vibrating so fast, that if you would take it out of your mouth in front of the mirror, you would have a clean up job to do afterwords. A zillion little bits of toothpaste would be splattered about. A problem that disappears when using it in the shower.
The unit keeps a good charge. About once a week, I put it back int the charger. Interestingly, is that their isn't any of the usual metal contacts associated with a charger. The unit is sealed, as is the base. So when it is in the charger, it somehow moves through the plastic in the base into the charger without any direct metal contact. When the unit loses a charge, it tells you by flashing a light inside the on and off button. Takes the guesswork out of it.
I had bought their kit with the multiple heads earlier. I just bought this unit for my mother as a gift.
One last benefit that I want to mention, is that it enables you to get a really good brushing in areas of your mouth, that you may not brush as well due to accessability. Since the unit is doing all of the work, you no longer need a long staging area to get a sweeping motion going. You just place the Sonicaire on the spot, and the rapid pulsing, gives that area a great brushing.
I have to admit, that when I got the unit at first, I thought, wow this thing is aggressive. I guess that is why the manufacturer programs it to go easy for the first couple of weeks, gradually building up to a full speed. After a while, it feels like normal brushing to you, and a standard brushing with a manual toothbrush seems like a poor excuse for the job.
Get this Sonicaire toothbrush. You will be glad you did. Hope this helps.
Description of Sonicare PS-1 Sonic Toothbrush
BRAND NEW, sealed in box. CONTAINS: 1 Sonic Power Handle 1 Compact Brush Head 1 Charger Base 1 Year WarrantyBy combining 31,000 brush strokes per minute and gentle sonic waves, Sonicare electric toothbrushes scrub away decay-causing plaque from between teeth and along gum lines better than ordinary toothbrushes. Two full-refund guarantees are offered on this model (30-day satisfaction guarantee and 90-day improved-care guarantee), plus a 1-year warranty on the handle against defects. This Sonicare model shuts off after 2 minutes to indicate when cleaning time attains the recommended duration (the brush can be restarted), and ramps up to full speed slowly over the first 12 uses to reduce soreness for people unaccustomed to thorough cleaning (this feature can be turned off). The power handle holds a charge for about two weeks. --Fred Brack
