forget interplak, get sonicare

by deljones , Oct 03 '02
Pros: none
Cons: brush gives out after 1 month. you'll spend lots of $$$ replacing all those brushes
We used interplak for over a year. When the brush was working well, it did a pretty good job on the teeth but was harsh on the gums--our dentist complained that our gums were "chopped up" & recommended getting another toothbrush. Also, the brushes were...

Interplak Electric Toothbrush : Great for the Teeth, Bad for the Gums

by WorkingMomof2 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Apr 14 '01
Pros: Two brush heads, timer, easy to use, does clean teeth well
Cons: Bristles are hard and painful on gums, replacement heads expensive, toothpaste limitations
We've had three Interplak toothbrushes, and I still can't recommend this product. I feel like we gave this the old college try... and then some. But the Interplak Family Electric Toothbrush is just not the right product for us!

They need to make it more powerful

by ajo2000 , Mar 29 '01
Pros: Great cleaning method, works well at times
Cons: weak power, brushes stop brushing
The interplak has a great method of cleaning teeth. The bristles of the brush spin in groups, giving you a nice cleaning. When it works. If you use too much toothpaste, or if the motor is not at peak power, the brush will stop in your mouth. They really...

The search for power

by rfarkle , Mar 21 '01
Pros: It can do a great job on your teeth. Shorter time at cleaning appts.
Cons: If you get one that's short on power, it is frustrating to use.
Several years ago, I purchased two of these toothbrushes. One for myself, and one for the kids. Unbeknownst to me, the one the kids were using had very little power. I happened to get a "good" one. In less than a year, both units had stopped working...

Bleeding gums

by Erin18 , Jan 18 '01
Pros: works the gums
Cons: painful at first
The fist time I used this toothbrush, my gums were bleeding non-stop and they hurt pretty badly. But, of coarse, that means it’s cleaning both your teeth and gums.

How it works:
You have a base and little extra brushes to click into...

Inexpensive Toothbrush that Saves $$

by mrt2852 , Dec 28 '00
Pros: two-minute timer, easy to use, two-year warranty
Cons: battery doesn't hold charge
Complete with a two-minute timer, recharging base, and two-year warranty, this toothbrush makes the perfect addition to anyone’s medicine cabinet.

When my dentist recommended an Interplak electric toothbrush to me about five years ago, I went...

oh ohOH what a wonderful feELing

by Annie_Crane Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Sep 29 '00
Pros: excellent results, wonderfully clean teeth, Doctor recommended, easy to use and even children LOVE it.
Cons: Heads can become expensive when you have a large family.
Several + several more years ago, I developed gingivitis while I was pregnant with my first child. Lack of vitamin C and probably drinking all that apple juice right before I went to bed was causing my gums to pull away from my teeth. (And you men...

Plaque beware your time is up!

by dkreskai , Aug 05 '00
Pros: Works great on removing plaque!
Cons: Expensive toothbrush head replacements.
I try to brush my teeth regularly twice a day and see the dentist twice a year. But I still have plaque build up every time I go to the dentist. I saw the displays at the local stores for electric toothbrushes and decided to give one a try.

Oh no, I've got happy teeth.

by Kired , May 09 '00
Pros: clean feeling teeth, less scraping in the chair
Cons: umm, okay, I'm thinking
I've always had 'okay' dental habits, so I thought I would never benefit from such a contraption as an electric tooth brush (not counting the singing Mickey one I had as a kid). Then one day, my wife brought the Interplak home. The dentist convinced...

The High Tech Toothbrush

by saprswife , Apr 16 '00
Pros: Incredibly effective for cleaning teeth
Cons: The price of the replacement brushes
Three weeks ago…
“What is that?”
“A toothbrush…what does it look like?”
“oh…yeah…ok...hmmm…I see…”

This was my husband’s initial reaction to my new Interplak toothbrush. When he first saw this newest bathroom gizmo he...

Works for me...

by Carli , Dec 20 '99
Pros: Rechargable, small brush
Cons: only gel toothpaste
Personally this is the only type of electric toothbrush I have used but I have been very pleased with it. I received it last Christmas as a gift and have used it all year long. Its gentle but very through. The timer really helps although I find it not...

For the adventurous

by rev_stevem , Dec 14 '99
Pros: Teeth will feel cleaner.
Cons: Can do damage to your gums.
Though I would agree for some people this product after one or two uses would be more than likely to sit on a shelf for the rest of it,s life. There are also other people, that no matter what the cost or (pain) they want the whitest, brightest, cleanest,...

pain!!!

by cranberi , Dec 14 '99
Pros: fun to hold
Cons: hard to control, easy to hurt yourself with
Well I received this toothbrush as a gift because I have been whining about the wonders of electric toothbrushes for a while. I was sorely disappointed when I used it. Perhaps it was just me and my high expectations; I think I was waiting for sparkling...
