it does wonders - sgrams, May 08, 2008

I bought this with some skepticism and only because my dental hygienist kept making such great claims during previous visits about how it keeps the teeth and gums healthier. I just had my first six month cleaning and checkup since using this thing, for four months, and it was the best I've ever had, no bleeding and little plaque. I believe its because of the Sonicare because everything else I did the same as before.

My gums did bleed a little the first few times I used this, it takes a bit to get used to it, especially the tickling feeling on the tongue and gums but its worth it.

Very dissapointed with this product - Hulkfan, May 02, 2008

I have been using this product for just one month, and already the head's bristles are falling out. Sonicare's own literature trumpets that the toothbrush head will last six months.
It is difficult to keep clean, as one must disassemble it weekly, due to its two part construction. I cannot fathom why it is assembled thusly.
I previously owned an OralB sonic model, but thought to give Sonicare a go, as they were the original. I am sorry I did.
I cannot recommend this product, and I am in the process of negotiating its return.

Awesome Toothbrush - Dana McFly, May 02, 2008

I really love the Sonicare toothbrushes and this one is no exception. I like its simple, easy-to-use design, and I also like the look and feel of the toothbrush. It leave my teeth feeling so so clean! I gave four stars instead of five, because for some reason, no matter how thoroughly I brush back there, I can always feel just a little bit of leftover plaque that I end up removing when I floss.

It's better than the older sonicare version - rgarneau, Apr 26, 2008

I like this toothbrush, it has a faster brushing action that takes a little getting used to. There were other models with more features but the Essence 5300 seemed to have the basics that I need. I found the lowest price on Amazon.

Better than expected - Mark Strickland, Apr 24, 2008

My dentist had recommended one of these but I did not appreciate how it worked until I got it. It does a great job of cleaning the teeth and massaging your gums with minimal pressure.

The motion of the brush is very small but very fast. The unit holds a charge for a couple of weeks before needing a recharge.

I am not easily impressed by most products but this is an excellent investment in tooth and gum health.
