My wife bought new toothbrush heads on her way home from work today.

They didn’t fit. She bought the “Oral B IO” heads, but we have a “regular” Oral B toothbrush, not the Shiny Fancy IO design.

And this is after she bought replacement heads last week at another store – which turned out to be “compatible for” a different brand :(

Ugh.

    Probably an American thing, many of the dentists I’ve had tried to sell me an electric toothbrush. I claim I already have one (which I do, I just prefer not to use it).

        I find I brush more thouroughly with a manual brush and spend more time than when using a powered one. I think it’s probably more a “what I’m used to” situation where the electric brushes are a bit overstimulating and I forget to keep them charged.

      they never sell, but they always reccommend it buying it online or in store, they arnt financially benfitting from it, at leas the most recent ones. dentist will know if your manual brushing isnt sufficient enough, despite you using a proper technique.
