I like the Phillips Sonicare ProResults Standard. They are stiff when new but soften up pretty quickly with use. I buy mine at Target. Target frequently discounts them so watch for their coupons to save money. If you prefer a softer bristle you'd probably like the Philips Sonicare Standard Ultra Soft Sensitive brushes. They fit Diamondclean, Flexcare, Healthywhite, and Easyclean handles. Amazon.com sells Philips Sonicare Standard Ultra Soft Sensitive, 3 brush heads for $16.45. That's a great price. Not too sure if Target carries the softer bristle brushes. You'd have to check. Do a little research at Sonicare.com to see which brush model is best for you. Best of luck to you Barb!

I just switched to the FlexCare from 20 years with the first Sonicare and a Sonicare Elite. The dental hygienist suggested the soft bristles because I have gum that's receding over one tooth, and I'm very pleased with them, will continue to buy them.

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. ☺

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.

Toothbrush! It's a great intro for baby. Mine likes to chew on it, but I onky give it to her during teeth brushing time. It has small silicone bristles that yiu can rub against teeth and gums.

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.

Not sure what type of bristles were these but the designs of the brushes are very gentle to the gums.

You can get the soft brushes. That is what my husband uses. This is our second machine. They last a long time.

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.

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 all depends on what you are looking for in a dry brush. I find it to be just fine for me, I like soft bristles because I have sensitive skin and cannot take the harsher bristles. It is great in the shower and offers me the skin sloughing I was looking for.

There are two brush heads that come with the tooth brush. My son uses the larger one, I would think the smaller one should be fine. You may want to check out the different sizes of replacement brushes to see what you think.

Stylus cleaners are available nowadays, however a soft-tip toothbrush works as well. Just remember to always swipe back to front. Keeping your records clean helps a lot as well.

I had the same question. Oral-B's website description says several heads will: "Brush head types: Oral-B FlossAction, Oral-B Pro White, Oral-B Sensitive, Oral-B Precision Clean, Oral-B Dual Clean, Oral-B Power Tip, Oral-B Ortho, Oral-B Braces Care Essentials, Oral-B Tongue Freshener. Series: ProfessionalCare SmartSeries. Model: 4000." http://www.oralb.com/products/professional-care-smart-series-4000/#features-0

Sensitive CLean is new to me. It might be a marketing gimmick, or it might be a new model replacing the Sensitive. I put the two links side by side in different tabs; there is a difference in how they are constructed. Be sure it fits your power tooth brush. We use the "4000" type. My wife uses the sensitive brush, and has for years; I use one (rarely) if I get a minor gum infection. I doubt there is much difference, but I would go with what my dentist recommended. He probably has a reason; you could ask him/her. I am not much help! These Sensitive-type brushes are designed for people with sensitive gums, and for children. http://www.amazon.com/Oral-B-Pro-Health-Sensitive-Clean-Refill/dp/B008CC3SKW/ref=sr_1_5?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1402654142&sr=1-5&keywords=oral+b+replacement+sensitive+brush+heads http://www.amazon.com/Oral-B-Sensitive-Extra-Soft-Brush-heads/dp/B00006ANDK/ref=sr_1_1?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1402654141&sr=1-1&keywords=oral+b+replacement+sensitive+brush+heads

According to the Sonicare website, the answer is no. The heads for the E-series are HX7022, HX7023, HX7026, HX7002, HX7003, and HX7006 for the standard size brush. There are also compact heads and heads for sentitive teeth - see the Sonicare website for specifics.

I've read on many other reviews to use a soft bristle brush. I have sensitive teeth and didn't experience any discomfort in my teeth but a little in my gums but it only lasted a few minutes.
