Totally new to electric toothbrushes. Does this model have a big head, is it good for sensitive gums, does it vibrate a lot? Thanks much in advance.

This model has a round head which makes it easier to get around the tooth to clean. Since you don't have to apply much pressure to clean it should be easier on your gums. There will still be a couple of days before your gums will get used to the toothbrush but after that you will love the clean feeling your mouth will have after each use. The head vibrates but the handle doesn't. I've used this brand of toothbrush for over ten years and I will never go back to a manual brush again.

The head of the toothbrush is a normal size as appears in the picture. Different brush heads are available. I don't know what you mean by sensitive gums. However, you can vary the amount of pressure you apply up to the point where it blinks to tell you that you are pushing too hard. There are two speeds to pick from so you should find one of them satisfactory. A certain amount of "vibration" and pressure is required to adequately clean your teeth, of course. I've found it to do a much better job then a manual toothbrush.

The Head is rather small but very efficient. Its about the size used in dental offices. I love it for gum message, and I also have sensitive gums. The vibration is fine, has 3 speeds, you can adjust to your liking.

head is comfortable, not too big, not too small. seems gentle, does not vibrate too much. comfortable to use.

No, not a big head but you can get the larger head brush if you want, all the Oral B heads are interchangeable. Very good for sensitive teeth, and Oral B is understood to be the best (according to my dentist)

It is just like any other oral b toothbrush. It does not vibrate. The brush head spin clockwise and and anti clock wise. You get more control on the area you want to brush. This might be helpful to the sensitive gums.

Don't worry. It's good for me. but I think it can not finished all the thing，I had to continue use the floss

I have been using Oral-B products for years and really prefer them over the others. 1) It has a small head.2) It has a soft setting for those who are sensitive.3) Very little, if any vibration.

Yes. I've used this for several months now and am happy. The only feature I miss (but I've adapted) is the 30 second timer. It does have a 2-minute timer, however. Good toothbrush.

I have the less expensive toothbrush. I am very pleased with it. I can't speak to the more expensive one as I have not used it.

I have the Oral B sonic complete tooth brush and they claim it fits both complete and Vitality Sonic. But the deal is that generic brushes are not as good a fit as the real Oral B brushes so you are not getting a good vibrating pulse when the brush is turned on. Had I have known in advance I would not have purchased so many. If you like I can give you a set of three for free and you could try it out since I have so many. Hope this helps!

I wasn't sold on it right away, but after using it for 6 months I am warming up to the toothbrush. Also when I went to the dentist to have my teeth I noticed that my gums and teeth are less sensitive to the cleaning. Over all I would recommend it.

There is no indication of it being a soft head so it must be a standard one. I've used the Sonicare E-Series for many years and I've never had a problem with the bristles being too hard. I'm pleased with it and according to my dentist, it keeps my teeth healthy and clean.

For sensitive teeth(and maybe gums too?), try Sensodyne toothpaste. I really couldn't tell you which is the best Sonicare toothbrush though.

It is the mildest electric toothbrush that I have personally used. Maybe you could ask your dental hygienist for their recommendations too.

F.Y.I.: I'm a senior, and love this brush. My dentist recommends them, and at my age I am doing all I can to make sure I leave this world with all my teeth (so far so good!). The labeling says "designed specifically for preteens and teens" is because its fine to use with braces. Lots of kids (including my ten-year-old grand daughter) are getting braces well before they hit their teen years. Some electric brushes can damage braces because their brushing action is too violent. Sonicare works more by vibrating the plaque off than by actual brushing, so is fine for braces. I really think this little appliance is great, but be sure to use it the right way: Don't try to brush hard with it as if its a regular toothbrush; slowly pass it over your teeth (pausing at each area) and give it a chance to work. Its also very good for your gums. I think you'll like it.

Don't exactly know what you mean by flexible head. It vibrates back and forth and there is also a little give in the had when not on. Have used this version for many years and love it. Dentist is pleased with results. Newer versions may be more flexible ....do not know.

Not sure about that model. This is the only Oral B toothbrush I've owned. I used to have a sonic care, and I can say with great certainty that this one does a better job. My teeth just feel cleaner. After brushing with the sonic care, I could still scrape residue off of my teeth with my nail. Not so with this brush. I.M.O, it just cleans better. Hope this helped

There are two brushes that come with the sonic care toothbrush system. I have only used one of them. To me it seems fine - not too soft not too hard. I hope this helps!

I have used a Phillips Sonicare for years and years and think it is great! A couple of years I "updated" since the one I had was several years old. I think the unit is overall improved. I would guess the brush heads would have improved also. I don't know if they are the only heads that will fit on the Diamond Clean. I've just always gotten the head that matched my unit.

I don't think it is loud. It has a hum to it but it isn't very loud. This isn't like the electric toothbrushes you can buy in the supermarket that move back and forth or the brush spins, the moving is more of a vibration and you move it over your teeth.

Relatively soft head. Good vibration and massage to gum area and gets between teeth nicely.

I really liked the style of the tooth brush (as in the way its looks) but for me the brushing movement/action wasn't strong enough. I like my Philips Sonicare Toothbrush e Series brush strength, the way it feels when I brush.

Hi there! The model number for this is:HX6962/70. It is the Sonicare "Flexcare" and it has the "Diamond Clean" brush head which is what my oral surgeon specifically recommended to me. I hope this answers your question, but if not, please let me know and I will see if I can be of more assistance. ☺
