    Another vote for an ionic toothbrush here!

    I've been using one for about 3 weeks now, and my teeth look at lot whiter and feel cleaner too. We'll see if the dentist notices in about 2 weeks' time!

    I got mine from Amazon.

    I know, I know its the brushing that counts but do the dentists feel that any tpye of toothpaste particularly useful in plaque/tartar control? I usually buy whats on special offer but that may not be the best approach!
