Just looking for for some +/- comments. I really don't see how the Rota-dent could be that much better; I'm sure they make a commission!
Thank you,....marc
I've got the Rota-dent. It's recommended over Oral B or Sonic Care. You don't have to get it at the dentist's office. I got mine on E-bay, from supposedly a dental/dentist's office. Brand new with all the paperwork and extra thingys.
I have a sonic care and found it to be rough on my gums. Didn't like using it...
I recently moved and went to a different dentist and hygenist, and this one recommends the rota-dent, she says it is gentler and they do sell various brands, but that one is her favorite. Next time I go I will probably get one...
Don't purchase a Rot-a-dent unless you're willing to deal with their terrible customer service. I bought a replacement brush on line, which broke after about A WEEK! The wait to speak to a customer service person on the phone is about 20 minutes! They don't return voice messages, or respond to emails. When I finally DID reach a human on the phone (after about a week of trying), I was told that they do not authorize sales of their products on line and would not replace the defective brush. WHAT?!?! These brushes cost about $30! And how is a consumer supposed to know that when purchasing?
Anyway, I'm done with Rotadent

I have been using Rotadent for about 10 years. When I got my first unit...the brushes were replaceable and I've kept that head and have no problems with it. I bought some extra brushes online in bulk but eventually I will have to switch to the new head/brush combo. I love my rotadent...would never switch for the health of my teeth will suffer.
Here is what you can do...Use your Oral B or Sonic Care brush. If you see the white stuff (plaque) getting brushed off your teeth it is probably a good model however if you don't see that white stuff switch to the Rotadent. You will see a big difference.
Rotadent is not cheap...but the dentist I got mine from offered it for $50 with a guadrenal(sp) cleaning. Yes, my teeth are that bad.
Something I just recently tried was Crest's Pro Health Toothpaste. It works so much better than the regular Crest I was using. I'm getting a lot more plaque off my teeth and my mouth stays fresher longer too.
Used to have an oral b and then switched to the sonic care, as the ultra-sonic pulsating action is supposed to be better for your teeth, than the small round brush of the oral-b going around in very small, rapid circle motion.
we have the oral b and love it. can't speak for the other.
