GUM Sonic Powered Toothbrush, Tapered Bristles Clean Below The Gumline, Bundle, White, 1 Handle(1ct) + 2 Refills(2ct. 1pk)

Love this automatic toothbrush. It cleans extremely well, doesn’t take up space and travels easily.

The bristles are very soft and should be kind to tooth and gum tissues. It is advertised as being good for cleaning slightly below the gumline, and perhaps that is so. It is quite slender overall, handle and toothbrush end. It would be better if the on/off controls were slightly raised. As with any powered toothbrush, you should keep it moving rather than allow it to linger in one spot; this helps prevent accidental damage to teeth/gum. I consider it a nice adjunct to oral hygiene measures rather than a replacement for anything. By the way, soft bristles are almost always better than even medium strength ones whether the brush is manual or powered.

My dentist recommended this to me. So glad he did. I love it. And for a lot less. Win Win

Works well but my teeth need medium or stiff bristles for proper cleaning. If available, I'd give it 5 stars.

Very soft my hygienist recommends extra soft

Works much better than expected. Superior to other electric toothbrushes in this price point. Bought one for everyone in my family after my initial purchase. Definitely will continue to buy this brand in the future.

my first impression is that this is a toy, but then again, all of these things are just that and overpriced. I was concerned about using my own batteries and how long they would last, my batteries are still going strong after 30 days and 2-3 brushings per day. I'm satisfied with 30 days, but I'll come back and update when they finally fail.I've used different brands of these types of brushes and I find that this one vibrates a bit more, but I've since gotten used to it and it does clean as well as any. If there is one thing better is that the overall thickness, or lack thereof, is small and seems to fit much better in my mouth. I would certainly buy one of these again when it wears out, but I don't see that happening for quite some time.

I guess I can't really complain, because a lot of the reviews mentioned the size of the brush head being rather small. They weren't wrong.The bristle portion of the brush head measures around 1/4 inch wide by 3/4 inch long. It feels extremely small when I use it (even smaller than it looks). I'm not sure whether it's doing a good job or not, because my toothpaste doesn't foam as much as it did with the larger, worn out toothbrush this one replaced.I like the ease of the battery compartment (twist and pull the butt of the toothbrush to insert/replace batteries). I like the size of the handle.I'm not a particular fan of the super-smooth, glossy-feeling plastic it's made of. It feels weird, and not in a good way, but I can live with it for now.This brush came with two additional replacement brush heads. Once they're worn out, I will buy a different toothbrush, as I don't hate this toothbrush enough to throw it out, but I don't like it enough to use it for any longer than I have to.3 stars because it's my own fault for disregarding some of the reviews, and while I didn't realize how much the tiny brush head would bother me.It seems like a good toothbrush for someone who isn't me, and obviously, YMMV. :)
