Video Transcript

"so do you need help on choosing an electric toothbrush? Well my name is Michelle and I'm a Dental Assistant with Solutionz and I'm going to help you on how you can choose an electric toothbrush. We're going to take a look at a couple different toothbrushes that we have. There's, as you probably have already known, if you have gone out there to shop for electric toothbrushes, you know that there's several different types of toothbrushes. One, the one toothbrush that we have here is the Sonicare toothbrush; what's great about this toothbrush is that the bristles on it are really, really soft. It's a vibration toothbrush so it just mainly, it, whenever you turn it on, it just vibrates back and forth which you can very, even tell that it's vibrating. And then also two, it's a chargeable toothbrush, so you can put it on a charger, you don't have to have batteries to add it, to use it; just charge it overnight. What's great about this is because there's actually, if you take a look on the back here, it has an up and down; this is the on button, but it has an up and down arrow button and it's where you can set a timer on your toothbrush so therefore, you just press the button, it turns on and it automatically starts to count how long you've been brushing your teeth. So this is great for kids and adults to help you brush your teeth very long period of time to make sure you get them really good and clean. The other type of toothbrush that I have is an Oral B toothbrush. Basically, this is a pretty simple one; it is a battery operated toothbrush and then what this one does is basically you just turn it on and the bristles on it, this also a vibration toothbrush, but the bristles on it go back and forth so it helps kind of really make sure it's, you know, disturbing the debris that settle on your teeth and it's really flushing out the area. So, there's a lot of different options out there. So basically, I would double, make sure check with your General Dentist, therefore, he can, you know, makes, give you a good recommendation for the type of toothbrush that you're looking for. And once again my name is Michelle and I'm a Dental Assistant with Solutionz and I just explained to you on how you can choose the electric toothbrush."
