January 17, 200422 yr I decided last night at Cub Foods to pick up a nice cheap Crest electric toothbrush, figuring, they'd clean better, and easier to use. Well this morning, as i put the toothpaste on, it hits the brush and it simply spins around and goes spraying down the sink... (and on me). Thinking that i know a lot of people use these things... what am i doing wrong here, cause even if i put the toothpaste on while its off, once i turn it on, its gonna go everywhere... Suggestions from anyone in the audience please!

Suggestions from anyone in the audience please! Go spend $1.99 on a regular toothbrush and another 99 cents on a roll of paper towels to clean up the mess you made.
January 17, 200422 yr Spend the money ($80.00) and get a SonicCare toothbrush. They kick ass; make your teeth feel like you just got them profesionally cleaned every time you use it. I'm on my 3rd one, been using them for 10 years. When I go for cleanings, there is almost no scraping done, (I also floss fanatically!).
January 17, 200422 yr Author Don't turn the toothbrush on until it's inside your mouth Yeah, thats all i need, close my mouth on an electric toothbrush so my brain is jossling around. These things are like mini jack-hammers....

Man, flossing is the about the last thing i think of (untill my dentist appointment) when i brush my teeth. I dont have time to floss, besides the 7 hours where i sit around and watch tv.... another reason that i got this stupid thing... i know they clean your gumline great too...

January 17, 200422 yr i got one of those and i have to say.....well worth the money. That sounds interesting. Where do you get one from?
January 17, 200422 yr That sounds interesting. Where do you get one from? i got mine from my orthodontist, but i'm pretty sure they sell 'em in stores.

You end up smiling like this after everytime you brush....
January 17, 200422 yr Author i got mine from my orthodontist, but i'm pretty sure they sell 'em in stores. I know Cub Foods sold them, cause i was stunned to see a 80 dollar product getting sold at a grocery store, so im sure you can get them pretty much everywhere.

January 17, 200422 yr I have a Braun Oral-B and it works very well. As for the toothpaste thing, start spreading the toothpaste around reguarly as if you were brushing manually, then turn it on.
January 17, 200422 yr They are good. I used to have one, then got another. After they burn out it sucks. It takes getting used to, and you will get used to it.
January 17, 200422 yr i got one of those and i have to say.....well worth the money. Agreed...just finished brusing my teeth with it like 2 minutes ago.
January 18, 200422 yr Nothing beats a good flossing IMO except a good flogging Turn the thing on when it's in your mouth. I love mine. When I'm camping, and have to use a manual toothbrush, I feel like my teeth aren't as clean. See how white my teeth are
