As I teach in my sexual mastery seminars and dvds "NEW SEX NOW"
and "GODDESS WORSHIP", there is no such thing as
"too much kissing." Women can never get enough of it,
and men who desire true intimacy with women will also
enjoy it and share the experience as often as possible with
a woman they are in relationship with. And there is no
comparable feeling of CLEAN TEETH than you get with
the Sonicare Elite. Get a couple extra of these brush heads
so that you can replace your old one when it get's dull,
so that you will always have the cleanest and freshest
feeling mouth and teeth for maximum kissing pleasure.

My best friend has been raving about his Sonicare Elite for over a year now-- encouraging me to try it. I did a little research and saw that OralB had a similar product and wondered which had a better product-- Sonicare or Oral B. My friend finally convinced me that the Sonicare product is superior, and then I read a review on Amazon from a hygenist who said that she went to a continuing education seminar and learned that Oral B was found to be superior...

At that point, I decided to do my own research... Don't believe everything you read on here...or anywhere else, for that matter, without questioning it. ;-)

Northwestern University did a study over a 6 month period. Patients with the Sonicare did much better, but don't take my word for it. Read the study results for yourself on the National Institute of Health web site:
[...]
For the lazy: "Overall, this study demonstrates that long-term use of these two electric toothbrushes improves periodontal health in adult periodontitis patients, and that the Sonicare brush is superior to the Braun [Oral B] brush in reducing gingival inflammation and probing depth. Moreover, 6 months' use of Sonicare led to actual improvement in probing attachment levels of periodontal pockets."

I have owned the Elite Pro for 1 year and the instructions recommended changing toothbrush heads once every six months. I am now going on my 5th toothbrush head because 2 of the 4 were broken within 2 weeks of use. Basically, I noticed they just were not vibrating like when they were new. The same problem occurred on 2 of the heads. One of the metal strips responsible for producing the vibration broke loose and basically reduced its vibrating power by 50%. It is just poor quality control when the toothbrush has more power than the toothbrush head can handle. On the upside, it works great when it works, and the battery lasts 2 weeks using it twice a day, so no need to pack the relatively small recharger on vacation.

You get two, which could last up to a year. Not bad, the price is right, I've seen these at membership stores for $17.00. You'll need them.

For extra cleaning, dip your loaded toothbrush into a cup of baking soda, it's a gentle abrasive and aids in bringing the teeth up. Sure makes the teeth feel clean.

If you have a 50 year mouth (like mine) and have taken coffee and tea for many moons, a professional whitening may be in order but I'm not laying out a grand for the procedure. I'm into the hygeine aspect of sonic care, and sonic care really does take care of teeth and gums. Gums are often over brushed and wear down or neglected altogether, so remember...Sonic care for health, and looks. But there is a point in life when you either accept the aging and yellow hue or shell out some cash for a cosmetic cleaning procedure.

This is a sad day because I was a Sonicare fan. I recommended it to my patients who needed the extra care and really talked it up because it does help but I just recently went to a continuing education seminar on homecare devices and found my beloved Sonicare was not the one that did the best job according to the research. The research was done by independent folks, was funded independently and was carried out such that the results could be taken seriously (valid results). It was done over a long period of time (over years, not weeks) and on very large groups of people. There were other researchers who compared all the research that has been done with rigorous standards to see what their results were too. In all the research presented, they compared all the electric toothbrushes that were out there and Sonicare did not fare as well as the top of the line Oral B (sorry folks, the most expensive model). The research said that the combination of sonic and rotary action over time (within a month or two of use) demonstrated a greater effect on reduction of plaque and gingivitis scores (the plaque and gingivitis levels were lower for the sonic rotary devices (Oral B) compared to the sonic cradle-rock devices (Sonicare)). I you are on a budget, it is still acceptable to use the battery operated toothbrushes as long as you can change the head, the head spins around and you can either recharge or replace the batteries. The sonic action is the greatest in the Oral B top of the line model and that is what helps reduce tartar and staining. It is worth making the switch. I'm sorry if I burst any bubbles but mine was burst a couple of months ago and the findings were significant enough to spread the news.
