Oral-BiO Series 4 Electric Toothbrush with (1) Brush Head, Rechargeable, White

This is my first electric toothbrush. Some of the things I really appreciate about it is the timer that lets me know when to change quadrants and the pressure sensor that lets me know if I'm pressing too hard or too softly. It's made brushing my teeth both easy and a little fun even. (There is a little rainbow celebration that happens when you finish your two minutes of cleaning and go to put it on its stand.)Apparently it caused a huge jump forward in my dental and gum health because I was prepared for the usual shaming at the dentist but instead I got compliments and the shortest cleaning of my life.Anyway, if you're also considering your first electric toothbrush, this one is pretty high quality and sort of in that sweet spot of giving me the extra hints without anything ridiculous like a bluetooth report to my phone about how I'm brushing my teeth. I got this because I wanted to do a better job but I'm not needing an app on my phone invested.

I finally broke down and decided to get an electric toothbrush after a recent dentist visit. I drink a lot of herbal teas and concoctions for various health reasons, so staining is an unwelcomed problem. Having missed my previous 6-month cleaning due to having COVID, I was close to the 1-year mark when I sat down in the dentist's chair. I saw seen by a new dental hygienist who showed me how bad the staining was behind my upper front teeth and mentioned that she too has some issues with dark stains, so it is not uncommon. However, when the dentist came to examine it, she indicated that it was not staining and recently discovered at a conference that although this appeared to be a stain, it is actually harmful bacteria that would require treatment with antibiotics and deep cleaning. I begged to different as I explained that I drink herbal teas and always have the same staining issues, but she insisted and said that I would need to come back for deep cleaning over 2 days. I asked her if the insurance company would cover it. She laughed and said that's between you and your insurance company, I don't get involved in that. I explained to her that I had the same thing happen many years ago and ended up paying out of pocket ($1200) because the insurance company said the deep cleaning was unnecessary. As she walked out, she proclaimed that this looks like five years of growth.The hygienist looked at me after she left and asked, how long have you been coming here? I said 5 - years, she asked if that was the dentist who I usually see and I said no. This is only the second time she examined me; in fact, she was the dentist who examined me at my last cleaning less than one year ago. She said, so if this took 5 years to build up, why didn't she notice it? I told her that is exactly what I wanted to say to her when she said that, but she was walking out as she said it.Fast forward -I purchased this toothbrush at the recommendation of the hygienist and low and behold, 95% of the stains were removed on the first use. This is a powerful toothbrush and the fact that it is round, makes a huge difference in getting at the plaque under the base of the gums.Most dentists are using every tactic to charge more money. Her office now does Botox, laser hair removal, etc., and I get flyers and post cards from other area dentists who are doing this as well. So it did not surprise me when she insisted that I required deep cleaning, which is why I asked the insurance question since I've been down that road before. When they did the number system to determine how deep the pockets were, I had mostly 2s and 3s. The 4s that were initially indicated were dismissed as 3s when the dentist came to exam me until she noticed the staining behind the upper teeth and then suddenly, I needed deep cleaning.Bottom line, this is a powerful toothbrush. I scraped the stains as much as I could, and manually brushed to no avail with a HARD Colegate toothbrush, but as soon as I used the IO4, the stains were nearly completely gone. Having used this toothbrush for the past several weeks, the sensitivity and minor gum pains that have been present for quite some time, have all but disappeared. The bristles of the brush stimulate the gums, and breach the gumline, helping to remove plaque buildup, which explains the disappearing pain.As for the 4 modes, I only notice a slight difference between them, but usually use it on the initial setting which is for daily brushing. Cost is high on these, so I recommend shopping around and checking the Oral B website for sales. I got this from Amazon when they were at $59, but nearly missed the sale. I placed it in my car the night before and forgot to complete the transaction. The next morning it was back to $99. I quickly checked the other colors and found white still showing $59. After few moments after I bought it, it was up to $99. I guess the price adjustments had not been completed, otherwise I would not have bought it although it's probably worth it. Obviously, I'm cancelling the deep cleaning and will likely find a new dentist for the exact same reason why I left the other office. I'm not accusing her trying to cheat me, but had I not bought this toothbrush, I'd be paying out of pocket for another deep cleaning I did not need.Great powerful toothbrush... No, you don't need all these fancy modes that are just marketing spin to get you to pay a higher price. Oral B's lower priced models are probably just as powerful.YMMVYMMV

Good product. I use it for 2-3 minutes whenever I brush, and my teeth feel clean afterwards. I also use it to clean my tongue and it does a pretty good job of that as well. A single charge usually lasts several days. And that's with me brushing twice daily. However, there a few things that could be done to improve this product: I wish the brush head oscillated a bit faster so that I could get more cleaning done in less time. Also, the package doesn't come with any spare brush heads or tongue cleaning heads. If you need a solid electric toothbrush this will suffice. But a couple things could be done to improve the product overall. 4/5 stars
