Hi again!~

I’ve been thinking about purchasing an electric toothbrush.
For the past (almost) 40 years I’ve been brushing my teeth with a normal toothbrush.

My dentist always praises me for my good mouth hygiene.

However, recently the neck of my teeth is getting more and more exposed.
One reason could be that I’m putting on too much pressure when brushing. I’m already using the softest brush out there.

Another issue is that I usually (especially in the evening) brush my teeth up to 15-20 minutes.
I was actually surprised when I found out that many electric toothbrushes have a 2-mins timer built in.

But my teeth never feel clean enough so I keep brushing for that long. That can’t be healthy.
I’ve re-assessed my brushing technique, but it doesn’t change the fact that it takes forever to get rid of plaque at certain spots.

Thus, I’m finally thinking about obtaining an electric toothbrush.

I’m currently trying to decide between the “Oral B Pro 2 2500” and the “Philips Sonicare ProtectiveClean 4300”.

Do you have any experience with electric toothbrushes and can you give me an advice or share your experience?

That would be very helpful.

Thanks a lot in advance.+
