    OP - try buying replacement heads from your dentist - I get my Oral B ones from my dentist as they are often cheaper than elsewhere.
  • Just done a little bit more searching and found these guys - http://www.molarclean.com/?gclid=COPh6f7y98ECFazItAodPAIAnA

    They seem to have been around a while and generally have decent reviews (I know, I know - don't place too much faith in them, but I do use them as an indicator).

    They're your teeth. I can only advise.
    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.

    I didn't know there was anything wrong with cheap toothbrushes. How do they cause damage? I use the super cheap, 18p for two supermarket ones...should I be using more expensive ones?

    The bristles on cheaper brushes are usually far too hard and are very rough and/or sharp at the tips when viewed through a microscope.

    This will cause the gums a fair bit of trauma when added up over the years.

    I realise that official Oral-B heads aren't a problem for some people to afford, but unfortunately I don't have the luxury of being one of those people at the moment (and FTR, the toothbrush itself was a gift, otherwise I'd be using a normal brush).

    You don't have to use it, if you can't always afford the heads get yourself a decent manual toothbrush for the times in between when you can't find the genuine ones at an affordable price.

  • My Molarclean order arrived yesterday. I bought 12 for something like £13.

    They fit easily and initially seem okay.
