Review on 🦷 Oral-B Pro 3000 Non-Bluetooth Electric Toothbrush: Rechargeable & Effective by Lisa Wilson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Oral-B and periodontitis!

Hey Everyone, I've finally decided to review the Oral-B Professional Care 3000 electric toothbrush. I've been using this device for three months and I think I can accurately describe my experience with this product. First, I previously used a Phillips Sonicare Flex Care R910. This electric toothbrush was great. I have nothing bad to say about Sonicare. My only issue was that the replacement is a bit expensive. Next, I decided to replace the Sonicare (which I had given my wife) with an Oral-B 3000. My reason was that the dentist recommended this brush due to my ongoing battle with periodontal disease. Like most of you, I've become obsessed with reviewing a product before I buy it, hoping to make sure I'm getting the best product while keeping my finances in order. The dentist recommended this toothbrush especially because of the small head and the functionality of the sensitivity setting. As the owner of both, I find them similar in the sense that they both (toothbrushes, of course) do the same job. Sonicare did a great job. However, Sonicare seemed to work a little harder on my gums (even on the sensitivity setting), which is why I switched. Also, the Sonicare is a great toothbrush when it comes to preferences I think and it's more or less the same with a few personal caveats. Let's get to Oral-B. This brush has proven itself very well. The small head actually makes it easier to brush my teeth (think about my periodontal disease) so I don't bleed as much. The sensitivity adjustment works just like the Sonicare and I really don't see any difference other than head size. Also, replacement brushes are a lot cheaper, which was an easy sell for me. The toothbrush tends to get dirt on the inside of the brush (if you have/had one, you know what I mean). I find it very easy to clean with a Q-tip. Although it's difficult to climb into all the nooks and crannies, I seem to be able to. I always rinse the brush with hot water afterwards. The battery life seems to be excellent. I usually charge it every 9-10 days which is great compared to my 5-6 day Sonicare. The company claims that the vibration and power are great (40,000 pulsations and 8,800 vibrations per minute). The actual cleaning is started with a single button that has 4 settings: daily cleaning, gentle cleaning, polishing and off. a great help to me in my situation. The build quality seems good to me. I've dropped this toothbrush three times over the course of three months and the electric toothbrush has survived with no visible damage or cracks. It takes quite a long time to charge until fully charged. However, if you're like me, I clean 3 times a day and usually charge my device overnight. So the brush is charged for hours before the next use. A small note, unlike the Sonicare, the vibrations are REALLY STRONG. This may be a positive for some, but initially the head starts to vibrate. Which, I have to admit, was a bit of a strain when I first started using this device. After using this toothbrush for a long time, you get used to the vibrations and now I don't even notice them anymore. Conclusion: I love this toothbrush. I gave it four stars because while I think it's great there is nothing to say WOW it's the best product I've ever had; Let's face it, it's a toothbrush, right? Also, I have a feeling that time will tell if this is a five star product (which I will talk about later). Both Oral-B and Sonicare have their differences. But for me it depends on what my dentist recommends based on my periodontitis prognosis. I recommend this product and I hope that the majority will like it as much as I do. And remember, I do NOT think a Phillips Sonicare toothbrush is bad. I feel like both are on the same level. You can't go wrong anyway.
