No reply…guess his story checks out.
I'm not so sure. Real dental professionals would know of the Oral B faceless dentist fokelore.
Just noticed OP refers to themself as a dental professional, not a dentist. I call shenanigans!
Wow! It has bluetooth. Definitely worth the extra $150.
Give me GPS and an SSD amd i'll take it
bluetooth paste FTFY
Not only does the app receive brushing data and report it back to you, but you can also program the app so that it communicates with the brush for personalized brushing.
Huh….
As a bluetooth toothbrush it might be expensive. I don't know the price of a bluetooth vibrator, but it may be cheap?
Good Toothbrush except not sure why you need to BT it to an app to show you've brushed for 2 minutes?
If I can get a magical hand to hold up the toothbrush and brush my teeth for me via the app, I'm sold!
Anymore reviews?
(RRP $329.99)
Wow…. Does it also do root canals ?
That's $1329.99 for root canals
I was all like …
$164.50
Does it do root canals? … before I got to the fantasy number that's there to manipulate your sense of value.
may help avoid them
How?
good oral hygiene prevents caries. Probably best electric toothbrush on the market. Helps people with poor technique or dexterity, disabilities etc
a root canal is usually required when a tooth cracks, which can happen without cavities.
@jv: very rarely does a tooth fracture without structure being undermined by caries - mostly in rare trauma cases.
very rarely does a tooth fracture without structure being undermined by caries
Well I must be a very special person then….
@jv:
A root canal isn't necessarily required when a tooth cracks.
It's required because the tooth has cracked for a long time and the patient hasn't bothered to fix it up over the course of a few months or years, causing an infection to grow and spread down to the nerve of the infected tooth, hence then requiring a root canal.
@panacheski: Are you a dentist or prosthodontist? I have a couple of tooth cracks and 0 caries. Prosthodontist says my teeth are very hard - good for avoiding cavities but more prone to cracking than a tooth with a filling. I think it's because I bit down hard on chicken bone fragments that were in some Asian food I was eating :(
@jv: There are different options for treating cracked teeth. In my case the prosthodontist just wants to review annually to see if they get worse. Crowns, caps are other options.
I personally prefer to pull my teeth out to clean them, then reinsert.
Somewhat painful for people without dentures.
Do not knock this tooth brush. I have 4 extra teeth due to it. Sure, they are on my hand, buy hey!
buy hey
If you own a horse….
Really useful toothbrush if you have a habit of brushing with too much pressure. Only have the 5000 version but not much of a difference.
returning my 5000 version for it take over 36 hours to charge fully and the charge only last 3/4 days
I've had the previous version of this toothbrush for the past 7 years and it's still going strong. I don't use the wireless LCD monitor though - too much of a hassle changing the battery.
The plastic is starting to peel off though - might consider upgrading. Highly recommended.
How does it last so long?
My toothbrushes last about a year only (Philips Sonic Care)
You can buy new heads you know ;)
After 7 years , how many times usage/days do you get out of it before needing to recharge ?
I just leave it in the charging dock all the time. I do notice that it doesn't brush as strong when the dock isn't plugged in though the next time I use it. (Say I use it in the morning, unplug it and use it again in the afternoon I notice that it's less strong and the dock was probably unplugged) but if it's always charging in the dock it's fine.
I had cheaper electronic brushes that lasted a few months but his ones really good. The plastic on the handle only started to peel recently but that cosmetic issue aside its still really good.
Bluetooth aside, would a "sonic" toothbrush be better (eg philips sonic care or colgate omron)
This is a sonic toothbrush, oscillates 48,000 times per minute
It's an electric toothbrush - it moves the bristles.
Sonic toothbrushes simply… vibrate, making the bristles shake in place.
Link to a peer reviewed article on oscillating toothbrushes being better than vibrating toothbrushes. Only marginal benefits, but both are better than manual toothbrushes:
Different types of powered toothbrushes for plaque control and healthy gums http://www.cochrane.org/CD004971/ORAL_different-types-of-pow…
Agreed. Further evidence from RCTs since the Cochrane Review in 2010 have validated this. Also better than the relatively recent sonic brushes.

I have the Sonicare Elite from 10+ years ago and I quite like the shape of the brush head (shaped like a normal toothbrush). The Oral B one is circular and large.
I've used the better versions of Oral-B and the Philips and I reckon the Phillips is much better. Li-Ion battery vs NiMh (last time I checked - they may have changed to Li-Ion in the latest top line ones). The motor in the Philips feels better made, not so loud and a better made item. You don't need all the fancy features as long as the battery type is Li-Ion and the oscillations rate is high (the cheaper ones have lower oscillations).
Well worth getting a WaterPik to go with it.
Wow advances in toothbrush. First just a regular standard toothbrush, now it has all these bluetooth and shit.
I was tempted, but i think the battery is NimH, not li-ion so it might have issues with the battery wearing out. Youd expect better from a supposedly $300 brush, even at $160
very true.. but I am surprised my Oral B Professional which I bought 8 years ago still works flawlessly! A few times I turned off the powerpoint at the wall and the brush still had power that lasted a few days.
Just need the often seen oral B cash back promo to stack
50c less, and claims to have the latest model:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ORAL-B-7000-BLACK-ELECTRIC-TOOTHB…Note: There is too much confusion about the different models (PC7000, SS7000, IQ7000). Can anyone clarify?
Can vouch for this seller, bought mine from them during the last site wide 15% off sale, but shaver shop was much more expensive at the time. Pretty sure they're all the same, the box only says 'black 7000' or 'white 7000' on the front for all of them.
I have 2 OralB toothbrushes. They both need a full 24 hour charge to make the partially charged light finally switch off. Other than that, they are great.
Just get PC3000 for 99.95 from shaver shop. It's the exact same thing. Anything above that, you're just paying for useless gimmicky features.
I agree with this completely, most features on these high end power brushes are so pointless it's actually funny that someone would think they are useful. Who needs a timer? Just brush thoroughly. Bluetooth is just stupid. A report after brushing, again very pointless. If you can't use an electric toothbrush without it telling you what to do then you need help!
Or you are a parent who wants their child to brush for long enough and wants to verify that without standing over each of them for four minutes per day.
My kids dentist drives a very very very nice car, and I want to contribute as little as possible towards his next one.
Apparently dentists say the cheapest will do if you brush long enough.
I bought a used toothbrush 10 years ago and haven't looked back.
Used?
Agree. The BT stuff is a gimmick. I recently bought my second PC1000 and am extremely happy with it. I paid about $100 on sale. The feature I like and pay a bit extra for over the base model is the light-up pressure sensor. Really useful. Anything else is really not necessary for me.
Those commenting on battery: my previous model lasted about 6 years. I leave it on the charger all the time. Oral B recommend you only drain the battery completely twice a year or something. I never really did that and my brush lasted a long time.
180 day money back guarantee valid if purchase made in between 1st Feb 2013 to 31st Jan 2016
That's helpful for those of us who travel back in time regularly. However, the special won't be on if we travel back then. Are you suggesting to buy it and return it regardless, and then buy it again now if we liked it?
You time travel or not but they shouldn't give false info on their page
So will your tooth be blue after using this product? ;) :P
Anyone know when this expires?
A toothbrush recommended by a "dental professional" is clearly receiving some kind of cut for advertising it.
Ever notice how these "dental professionals" always seem to promote the really expensive options?
I couldn't give a toss about my brushing data.
This one (or any of the $50 Oral B Vitality range) from priceline will be sufficient
https://www.priceline.com.au/oral-b-vitality-power-brush-flo… (ignore the single review for it on their website, I've had mine 12 months no issues)
If you're lucky, you'll get it for $30-$40 on special like I did.
There's a big difference between the cheapo units and the more expensive ones. I know personally as I've had both and you can really feel it.
No difference as I see it.
PC30000 @ $109.95 Provides 40,000 pulsations and 8,800 oscillations per minute
Triumph @ $164.50 Provides 40,000 pulsations and 8,800 oscillations per minute
from the Shaver Shop website.
Is the extra bells and whistles for the additional $55 justified?
Did you even look at Firey1989's recommendation?
@PcisT: I did. Just raising the question whether there is a difference in response to your 'big difference statement' :o))
Simple answer is no, but some people can justify anything I guess.
I had a Vitality toothbrush until it died recently (after 3.5 years - not too bad). I bought the Trizone 500 and it's a much more powerful brush, which is currently on sale (seems they're just about always on sale) at Shaver Shop for $49 (http://www.shavershop.com.au/online-store/oral-care/electric…). I don't buy any of the gimmickry above this range of brush, if all you're after is a good clean of your teeth. I bought one for my wife yesterday at the Shaver Shop in Robina for $45 (no idea why it's cheaper in store). They also had the Vitality for $22.50. I wouldn't go back to the Vitality after owning the 500.
Cheapies only rotate and do not pulsate. Whether that makes any difference to the cleaning action( my guess is it would make a difference), is another debate. As long as you buy the cheapie knowing this difference.
From memory PC1000 is the lowest model you can buy that doesn't have any difference with high end models when it comes to actual cleaning action. Strangely though, shaver shop in Brisbane was selling PC3000 for 99.95 while PC1000 was 119.99 which is why I was recommending PC3000.
the pc1000 has 20,000 pulsations and 8,800 oscillations per minute whereas the pc3000 and triump7000 has 40,000 pulsations
but like you mentioned all same cleaning action just not sure whether that extra 20000 pulsations make a difference
I bought this a year and a half ago, don't recall bluetooth though, sounds like another battery drainer.
I do like the LCD though, it keeps you focused
I call this the wan ker electric brush.
Theres no need for it over the over versions but if you can get it… why not
what does the bluetooth function actually do?
Talk to your phone or lcd display and tell you how long to go on your brushing expedition.
Which is utterly pointless. Not hard to figure out how long two minutes is. Even the cheapies have 3 quick pulsations to let you know when you hit 2 mins.
for you maybe, but almost 100 people consider this as a bargain :)
Just buying this alone would make your teeth cleaner, hence the bluetooth technology.
As a bonus feature, if you insert the correct end into the mouth whilst jiggling it against your teeth, you need not be toothless.
No idea why you got a down-vote for that, that was hilarious! I just picked mine up, following your comment, will read the manual and take care before inserting.
Purchased, Going to use until before the return period
and then return it?
what if u like it?I shall keep it :)
What return policy will you use if you want to return it?
The "Download form" link is not working on my end, is it only me?
Is this charger dual voltage for those of us that travel often?
110/240V?I know the US one is only 110V!! Hope this AU one is dual…
I am happy with my current PC3000 dual handles but last only 2-3 days (one handle) for family of 4.
I normally wait till the battery totally flat and then grab the second handle to continue to use and charge the flat one.
Good price though but I think too hi tech for a toothbrush and no second handle so you need to wait 22hrs to get fully charge.
Not sure how many times can be use from full battery to flat if too hi tech.
I bought this toothbrush for that price off Ebay in December last year. Has been great so far - everyone who walks into the bathroom always comments on the black finish (Also comes with a great travel case that lasted a week without charger while I was in QLD).
Only 1 problem for you people with an en suite - The blue light while its on the charger is very bright so probably best so leave it off the charger overnight and put it on in the morning while you're at work.
EDIT: Just checked PayPal now and it was $164 down to $148.05 with ebay 10% off tech voucher at the time.

If you REALLY want the extra features then by all means go for it but if you are after the best bang for your buck then I don't think it is the way to go. I personally don't think the extra features over the $88 PC1000 or $109 PC3000 (which are both also on sale at The Shaver Shop) justify the extra cost in this case. The cleaning action, strength and usable brush heads are exactly the same. I did my research and bought the PC3000 over the weekend as my wife and I will be sharing the handle and it comes with a neat brush head holder tray which was perfect for us. I haven't used it long enough to comment on its durability though it does say 'made in Germany' if that holds any weight for anyone.
Here's a good website that explains the differences and compares the Oral B range: http://www.animated-teeth.com/electric_toothbrushes/oral-b-b…
I'm always one to be sucked in by the extra features and anything that gamifies my way of life. So I bought one.
The Phillips Diamond Clean with the charging cup looks interesting, anyone have this?
