" ... Great toothbrush my teeth feel very clean after. ... "
" ... We just left the dentist today who raved about their great teeth, and the fact that they love to brush (and let us brush!) ... Apparently they do a better job cleaning but many kids don't like the vibrations. ... "
" ... I regularly clean mine but it seems more of a task of cleaning the base than should be if they built in some drainage or didn't have it concave. ... Stop cleaning the base for two days just to show you these pictures in the review ... "
