Sonicare FlexCare 900 Series Electric Toothbrush Review

Sonicare has upped the ante in the electric toothbrush industry with their FlexCare series.  The brush head has been redesigned to eliminate the large cavity in the body that was a bacterial breeding ground.  The brush is now a solid molded assembly that has no openings in its exterior surface to allow germ growth.  It even has special fibers that change color to tell you that it's time to change them.  Different colored rings are included so that the heads can be identified for each user.  There is a gentle setting and a massage setting in addition to the standard cleaning mode.  An ultraviolet brush head sterilizer is available on some models.  My daughter used to own an Oral-B unit.  When it died we bought her a FlexCare.  Her reaction was "Wow!"  It was easier on her gums but left her teeth feeling much cleaner.  The Oral-B brush head also had an opening that could lead to bacterial growth and was very hard to clean.  She'll never go back.  The FlexCare is expensive, but it delivers performance to justify the cost.
