Ionic Toothbrushes

Having had my 6 monthly check up yesterday and the usual scrape of plaque even though I do have a good dental regime, floss clean and mouthwash the stuff that's "supposed" to remove much more plaque.
I had a browse on the net to see if I could reduce it and I came across something called a ionic toothbrush.
Its a interesting idea and supposedly had good clinical reviews although the only one I could find was from India and although it did give a good outcome but only had 20 subjects.
Anybody on here use said toothbrush and if so have you noticed any difference ?

Never heard of it!How to find a dentist.
1. Get recommendations from friends/family/neighbours/etc.
2. Once you have a short-list, VISIT the practices - dont just phone. Go on the pretext of getting a Practice Leaflet.
3. Assess the helpfulness of the staff and the level of the facilities.
4. Only book initial appointment when you find a place you are happy with.0 -

I have ordered one anyway just to see what happens at my next check up"The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts."

"Unlike regular toothbrushes which try to force plaque off the teeth by friction, the IONIC brush makes the teeth let go of plaque, like turning off a magnet! Plaque gets released even in hard to reach areas! The Ionic Toothbrush is clinically proven to be far more effective than a regular toothbrush and users report cleaner, whiter teeth and little or no plaque when visiting their dentist!"
It's just a shame that the website looks about as trustworthy as a man wearing a big sign around his neck saying "I steal from Grannies!"0 -

I recently purchased a Higher Nature ionic toothbrush about a month ago and I love it! Think they are a UK company so it was really easy to order from their website and they come in a wide range of colours like red, pink and purple yey!
Couldnt live without it now (well maybe a bit dramatic). It really does work and I find im not using toothpaste and if I am its only the tiniest amount or a mixture of salt and bicarb (i think). Will be really handy for camping.
For under £15 I would say its far better than an electric brush and much better for the envirnoment, as you only need to replace the heads and no charging required! First time I used it I was really shocked that I had that 'dentist clean feeling' and now its just the 'norm', dont een get that fuzzy feeling halfway though the day.
Think there a really good investment and would highly recommed buying one.0 -
