Why not my tooth brush?

As I was looking for something meaningful to blog about, I realize it's more meaningful to blog about things that are meaningful to me. Oddly enough, my toothbrush is a topic that merits at least one post.

It is a Crest Spin Brush Pro. I'm not sure why Crest decided to add the "Pro" designation. That seems to insist that there people who only brush their teeth recreationally or with some sort of amateur status. Nevertheless, I believe the pro version means that all portions of the toothbrush head oscillate and not just part of it.

When my wife first got it for me, I was a little skeptical, because putting anything with a motor into my mouth has generally been frowned upon my entire life. But she usually has good judgement, so I decided to go with it this time.

I haven't tried other models, but this one in particular did a great job at cleaning my teeth. Afterwards, my teeth felt polished. It somewhat the same feeling as if I had just come from a dental visit. The big difference is that I get to use toothpaste that doesn't taste like mint sandpaper.

I would recommend at least this model to anyone looking for a good motorized/electric toothbrush. Since using it my dentists/dental assistants have commented that I've done a great job keeping my teeth clean. Although I will have to attribute some of these results to a regular habit of flossing.
