*****************A true breakthrough************************, July 14, 2006
I am a dentist who is a specialist in treating gum disease. This toothbrush is phenomenal. I see a lot of patients who have either the oral b or sonicare toothbrush who have filthy teeth. The problem with those other brushes is twofold. First, they still rely on the user positioning the bristles properly on the teeth. Most people do this well for the upper front teeth, but totally miss the upper back or the inside of the lower teeth. The hydrabrush positions itself automatically so that all the tooth surfaces get clean uniformly. The second big thing is how fast it cleans the teeth. Because it cleans 6 tooth surfaces at once, it is much faster than any other toothbrush. Most people don't brush long enough, even with an electric brush. The hydrabrush does a very thorough job in less than a minute. To me, this is a real breakthrough product and one that has the potential to make a huge impact on the public's health.
I started using the brush about 18 months ago and was very impressed with it. I let my wife use it and she gave the stamp of approval so I started recommending it to patients. Then I got some for my kids. It is no longer a struggle to get my kids to clean their teeth well (yes, dentists have trouble getting their kids to brush just like civilians).
I recommend it regularly to my patients. When they come back for their cleanings the visits are almost always much easier for the hygienist and more comfortable for the patient because teeth are much cleaner. Patients comment to me that their teeth feel smooth like glass and they seem whiter. Patients are also horrified when they realize how deficient their oral hygiene has been in the past when they see how clean their teeth can be on a daily basis. Their comments are usually something like "No wonder I got gum disease, I was barely cleaning my teeth before. I see patients with gum disease get much healthier because they are for the first time in their life thoroughly cleaning their teeth. Patients teeth do not seem to stain as quickly by using this brush so they are whiter between cleanings. This brush is also very good for people who are wearing away their teeth or gums by scrubbing too hard. This brush makes it impossible to brush too hard. It delivers the proper force irrespective of what the user does. I have seen so many people cause needless recession of their gums or damage to their teeth by scrubbing their teeth and thinking they were doing good for themselves. The hydrabrush is perfect for scrubbers.
The brush does look a little funny. I suppose the car looked funny when all people were used to was a horse and buggy. Once you get past that it looks different you will love the brush. If you have spent any kind of money on whitening or cosmetic procedures you would be foolish not to protect the investment with this brush. When I ask my patients how they like it, they rave about it. I would recommend the brush for anyone that wants easier cleanings when they go to the dentist, anyone who wants to keep their gums and teeth healthy very easily, simply and predictably and especially anyone with kids. If you can get your kids teeth clean you will save them a lifetime of trouble and expense. I know this has been a long rambling review but I feel passionately about the product after using it myself, and seeing how it has benefited my family and my patients.

WoW!! Worthy of All 5 Stars!!!, January 24, 2007
I've had other electric toothbrushes before & quite liked them, but this HydraBrush is by far superior to any I've ever used before! I started, as suggested in the literature, with the extra soft set of brushes, and after I got the knack of using this new method, brushed for a shorter period the first few times. As was explained, gums did some bleeding the first few times,(& I bleed very easily) but they were not painful & bleeding was of short duration. Obviously massaging of the gums is a healthy way since so many people develop gum disease & this will help head off such a potentially serious problem.
I also like the HydraBrush because once it's charged, it is unplugged and placed in the holder which can be put ANYPLACE (one isn't tethered to the recharge cord). So it can be stored in a cupboard or any other spot away from the sink area, just wherever it's convenient for YOU.
I've used it at least 30 times on this same first charge...just have to turn the dial on the brush & it starts right up.
I purchased this toothbrush because of the great feedback when Amazon had a great Friday sale, so now that I'm a complete believer, I'm hoping for a repeat of that sale as I want to get one for each of my family this time!

Effective.....and FAST, July 13, 2006
This brush is radically different, but I like gadgets...esp. those that claim to make life easier and save time. Well, they are right on the money with this one. I didn't time myself, but I would say I was done in approx 1 minute, and I know cleaned every surface. It is an amazing feeling...my gums bled a little, presumably because previously I was not cleaning the gumline as well as HydraBrush did. Its head alignment makes you clean the gumline out very easily...
