Amazon.co.uk Review
So far I have found this toothbrush to be exceptional. I love the fact it’s so versatile – it comes with a plethora of brush heads to meet all your oral care needs. I generally use the Oral-B Precision Clean brush head, but I have tried them all out and they all have their own particular benefits. The fact this toothbrush also has 3 different brushing modes makes it even more versatile.

One particular feature that impresses me with this toothbrush is the pressure control. One of my problems when using a manual toothbrush is the fact that I always seem to brush too hard which results in my gums bleeding. When brushing with this toothbrush, if too much pressure is applied, the oscillating movement of the brush head will continue but the pulsation will stop. You can tell this not only with the different feel it gives but also with the different sound it gives out, so it’s obvious when you need to be more gentle.

This toothbrush also gives a short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals to help remind you that you should clean the four quadrants of your mouth for a total of two minutes. This really works well and each time I use it I know I’m brushing for the recommend time and really looking after my teeth.

Overall I have found this toothbrush to be really useful and well worth the money. It has made me improve the way I take care of my teeth and gums and I would recommend it to anyone. -- David Vince, amazon.co.uk

If you wish to turn your toothbrush off in the ‘Clean’ or ‘Sensitive’ mode, push and hold down the on / off button until the motor stops.

Connecting and charging The Professional Care 8900 rechargeable toothbrush has a waterproof handle, is electrically safe and is designed for use in the bathroom. Plug the charging unit into an electrical outlet and place the toothbrush handle on the charging unit. The green charge indicator light flashes while the handle is being charged, and when the handle is fully charged the green charge indicator light shines continuously. The red charge indicator light starts blinking when the rechargeable battery is low. Outstanding Plaque Removal For clean teeth and strong and healthy gums, Oral-B Professional Care gently cleans in areas where plaque bacteria can collect. It provides outstanding plaque removal even in hard-to-reach areas and is gentle on teeth and gums.

Brushing Technique Guide the brush head slowly from tooth to tooth Hold the brush head in place for a few seconds before moving on to the next tooth Brush the gums as well as the teeth, first the outsides, then the insides, finally the chewing surfaces Do not press too hard or scrub, simply let the brush do all the work Pressure Sensor For optimal brushing results, Oral-B Professional Care has a pressure control feature to help you brush gently. This helps protect your gums from excessive brushing and makes your toothbrush easy to operate. If too much pressure is applied, the oscillating movement of the brush head will continue but the pulsation will stop. In addition to feeling it, you can also hear a different sound.

Professional Timer A short stuttering sound at 30-second intervals, which you can hear and feel, reminds you to brush the four quadrants of your mouth equally for a thorough consistent clean. 2-Minute Timer A long stuttering sound indicates when the dentist recommended 2-minute brushing time has been reached. Both timers memorise the elapsed brushing time, even when the handle is briefly switched off during brushing. Only when pausing longer than 30 seconds the timer resets to the initial starting point. In the first days of using the toothbrush, your gums may bleed slightly. In general, bleeding should stop after a few days. Should it persist after two weeks, please consult your dentist or hygienist. If you have sensitive teeth and gums, Oral-B recommends using the sensitive mode.

Brush Heads The Professional Care 8900 rechargeable toothbrush comes with 2 Oral-B Precision Clean brush heads, 1 Oral-B Sensitive brush head, 1 Oral-B Pro Bright brush head, 1 Oral-B Tongue Cleaner brush head, 1 Oral-B Interdental Picker brush head and 1 Oral-B Interspace brush head.

Customer Reviews

Superb - Worth every penny!!
I have had this toothbrush for just under a week and can honestly say that I wish I had listened to the dentist sooner.

Having not listened to my dentist I purchased her second choice suggestion which was a expensive Philips Sonicare. Even though it cleaned the teeth well enough, it is not even comparable to the sheer cleaning power of this product.

It trains you how to clean, it has different attachments included in the purchase price to help you get the best from it and it even stops if you push too hard on your teeth.

Get on and you will not be disappointed.

Truely clean teeth
I have used electric tooth brushes in the past, but they never really felt like they cleaned all areas of my teeth. This brush has a number of different cleaning heads and reach those areas which other brushes never reach and after just a few days use my teeth feel as if I have just visited the hygenist.

Get one really they are the best!!!
I have also been using electric brushes for years and have over the last year or so been using a very expensive phillips sonicare, which I have now replaced with one of the braun 8900. you feel the difference straight away and see the difference in only a couple of days.... really.

lots of extra bits to clean the areas you can't see !!!

if you are thinking long and hard before parting with your hard earned cash,? don't,,, get one
