Sonicare vs. Oral-B - which is better for sensitive teeth?

I normally just use a soft manual toothbrush, but I'd like to get an electric. Does anyone know if one is better than the other for sensitve teeth?





Thanks.

Sonicare elite is the best. I have the same problem and it has really helped!
Reply:The key to the electric toothbrush is not putting pressure on them and not trying to brush your teeth with them as you normally would with your regular toothbrush. You just hold it gently against your teeth and slowly move it from tooth to tooth so each tooth gets the correct amount of time. I prefer the sonicare. I feel you get the most for your money out of it. The sonicare uses the same technology as an ultrasonic scaler which dental offices use. Its bristles move faster than you can see, almost ultrasonically. It forces oxygen bubbles between your teeth to help even clean inbetween your teeth. Anyways, its what me and all of my family use and our teeth have required much less picking or fixing. They are expensive but they last a long time.
Reply:I've used both.


The Sonicare has super soft bristles. It rotates 31,000/minute so it's effective cleaning. It claims to whiten teeth, improve gum health, including shrinking periodonatal pockets.





The Oral B has several heads. I use the single head and the dual head. The bristles are stiffer. And the rotations are slower. But the cost is far less.





I suggest the Sonicare. I used the Oral B for several years and each year, the cleanings were the same. Scratch, scrape, etc. But I switch to Sonicare for a year and my hygenist was amazed at how I had almost no tartar/plaque. The cleaning took less than 5 mins, no scraping this time. And she even said I didn't need teeth bleaching because they were so white.





With both, you have to remember not to over-brush and not to scrub. It can also damage your gums and teeth. Ask your dentist how to brush. I did and realized I was beating my gums up with both brushes. Just go gentle and let both do the work. Good luck!
