How useful is the pressure sensor? Dentist told me I am using too much pressure (manual toothbrush)? Can you actually apply high pressure with this ?

This one doesn't have a pressure sensor. It's very easy to apply high pressure. When I first started using it I pushed back my gums too much. You have to be very careful with this tooth brush.

The unit will provide an audible and tactical warning when you apply too much pressure. You will have no problem telling when you have exceeded the pressure level. That said, I have no idea if the pressure sensor matches the level of force your dentist has in mind.

There is something like 4000 rpm so it is strong (similar to a dentist cleaning tool), however you can adjust the settings to your preference. There are 5 choices: regular, deep clean which is a longer setting, feather light which is good for sensitive gums, polishing which is most similar to the dentist office, and massage which changes speed and pressure for gums and teeth. You can also purchase different brushheads such as regular, sensitive gums, deep clean/floss action. If you use the Oral B brand, the brush head fits perfect and there is no excess noise or vibration, but if you use the generics I notice this does happen more and it is annoying, so we go with the brand.

I don't know. But I was not happy with the product. I had one for over 10 years and it worked great. Then I bought another and it lost water pressure in a couple of months. I bought another, same thing. I purchased a different model through my dentist with the sonic care toothbrush and I haven't had any issues with it.

I have sensitive teeth and it is fine. I would not buy it again though. So gimmicky. I use my own sonic toothbrush and then this paste because I don't like the brush it comes with. The whitening strips are so much better.

after about a month it fixed itself... I just decided to ignore the pressure sensor, and then one day I noticed it was off and working fine again. Very strange indeed. Has been working fine though since.

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.

Yes, it is pressure sensitive, which is probably why the tips wear out so quickly. No experience with Android or Autodesk's Sketchbook.

I don't believe so but I am very happy with the pressure I get from each setting. The second spray pattern is actually so hard it gave me a friction burn. The pulsating setting is not as good as a Waterpik though.

Hi Jamie, I personally use this Philips Sonicare HX6911/02 FlexCare Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush (Sonicare FlexCare) and it came with brushing mode. It costs a little bit more than other Sonicare toothbush but it is all worth it. I have a very sensitive gums so this works out for me. And also, I noticed after I started using Sensodyne toothpaste, my gums bleed less. In fact, it hasn't bleed in a while. Hope this helps.

I actually used my compressor. I turned the pressure way down but you really have to be careful if you use a compressor. Just blow it up really slow whatever you use.

I probably wouldn't try to use it away from a sink. After all, your mouth is open and you're not drinking the water, so it has to go somewhere. But that's not too different from brushing your teeth really. Yes, it can be a little messy at first, but you can control that to a large degree by using your lips To control the majority of the overspray. The big draw to it for me is that it's quick and easy. I don't brush or floss as often as I ought to. My experience has been that I'm more willing to pull this out and use it right before crashing into bed than I am to spend the extra time to floss. Yes, yes, shame on me. But that's the truth.

I love the fixture, but our pressure decreased dramatically after I installed it as well. We've kinda gotten used to it, but it's not normal and I really wish I had more pressure at times, especially when filling large pots with water. I hope there is a way to adjust it. My pipes were clean and strong, and my hoses were brand new. It's the fixture.

What do you man by model? I will say this is good for kids and adults, it has three different little sticks, one is for the tongue, the other one is a pressure that works really good for braces when they cant floss ,good or for kids that dont like flossing, a dentist recommended me this and this is a great product, no need for batteries this one you just connect it on the wall. Trust me i give this a 10 +++ , what i liked was that when this stop working i called the main company and they sent me a new one and it is still working till today, great customer service, just save your receipt if you buy one!!! for kids i add warm water and less than half cup of scope!

I don't know how much my pressure varies. I use the pen 100% of my computer time - mostly email, word and pro photography. I can't say that I've seen anything wrong with mine, but then I don't use brushes in Photoshop much or take steps where I vary the pressure a lot.Paul S

I'm not a dentist but I'd say it depends upon the type of sensitivity you are experiencing. If the sensitivity is at the tips, then this will probably help. If it's near the gum line, then you might want to try the new Crest Sensi-Stop strips. I'd suggest discussing this with your dentist.

All I do with my bite valve is remove it, scrub it with a toothbrush and make sure there's nothing in the actual rubber (or whatever material it is) valve itself. If you're super paranoid, I suppose you could use some diluted bleach on any part of it as long as you wash it thoroughly. Edit: Also, for cleaning inside the bite valve once it's off, I've never had to do more than soapy water and a quick finger swipe with my pinky finger. Might be harder for people with big fingers, just shove something in there that won't poke holes in it with some soap and scrape around, you'll be good to go.

Hi, Barbara! The bristles are not the softest for the most sensitive of gums. I would recommend them more for adults or older children. I hope this helps.
