OP here: https://forums.macresource.com/read.php?...sg-2614788
... asked my hygienist what she thought, she likes Sonicare better than Oral-B, but she claimed it was mostly because she thought the brush head for the Sonicare was smaller than Oral-B (?), and therefore easier to get back teeth. One thing she did say that surprised me a bit, was that when I brought up the idea of a water flosser -- she pointed out that a lot of people are under the misconception that using a water flosser meant that you wouldn't still have to do regular flossing. She also pointed out that in my particular situation, since I'm probably an over-brusher, I need to be really careful with the brush head (especially on my canines, which have a lot of recession).
So... kind of still bouncing back and forth between the two brands. I do have a bunch of the brush heads left over for the Oral-B, but I know that a number here like Sonicare better. Here are the two best options I'm seeing:
1) Found what looks like a great deal on Oral-B's at Slickdeals, TWO Oral-B's for $90, after coupon, or possibly even $80 if add a filler item, like a brush head: https://oralb.com/en-us/products/oral-b-...rose-gold/ ... the advantage I've found of having two handles is that you can recharge one while using the other, thereby always having one ready to go, and maximizing lifespan of both.
2) If I went with Sonicare, I think I'd probably be looking at this model: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B084TM4XKG/
... what say you all?
Edit: oh, and a great compliment from my hygienist-- who is new to me, since I hadn't been to the dentist in over a year because of corona: "I can see that you take good care of your teeth." The problem in my case appears not to be hygiene, so much as crappy gum/teeth genetics.
