Dr. Tung's Ionic Toothbrush System with Replacement Head

This might seem pricey for a toothbrush but it is worth every penny. It has a metal band around the handle which you wet and keep your fingers on (or wet your fingers) This explanation is taken from the ionicbrush.com website :The Ionic toothbrush works on the principle that every element in nature has a positive or negative charge. This is called polarity. When the polarities are opposite, the two elements cling together. That?s why dust sticks to your coffee table and why plaque, which has a positive charge (+), clings stubbornly to your negatively charged (-) teeth.Dyna-Dental's new hyG Ionic Action toothbrush temporarily reverses polarity of the tooth surface from negative (-) to positive (+), drawing plaque towards the negatively charged hyG toothbrush head.When you brush with a hyG toothbrush, a constant flow of positive ions (+) from the lithium power source temporarily reverses your teeth?s polarity. This makes your teeth reject plaque, even in areas that aren?t touched by hyG?s bristles.I know this..I have always been fussy about my teeth. I have a goal of have all my teeth in my head when I die. Hey, you have to have goals! My teeth were white. BUT.. after using this toothbrush they are even whiter! While brushing yellow was on my toothbrush.. what the heck?? From where? I have white teeth. Guess not! I am assuming it was more plague. For the last five years now I have used this toothbrush and there is nothing to clean when I go to the dentist. I go twice a year for a cleaning and they pick around a little and say what a great job I have done.. there isn't really much if anything to clean. Two thumbs up there! And, they say they say can tell I do a great job flossing. (not). If you want to be lazy before falling in bed, and that is a lazy time after all, I just wet the brush and do a quick scrub knowing it still cleans really well without 'all that effort' of opening the toothpaste. I will not live without this toothbrush!!

I have been using a sonic care toothbrush for over 20 years. I wanted to find a toothbrush I could bring on trips with me without being so cumbersome. Even though I intended to use it for travel I am now hooked on it an use it everyday. I can't believe how well this toothbrush cleans my teeth. I feel like I just had a teeth cleaning every time I use it! I also purchase one for my niece since she has braces and it is working really well for her too. I am sold on this toothbrush and will continue to use it. I know it is pulling the plaque from my teeth but I feel it is also grabbing some from under my gums. My gums bled a bit when I first started using it but has since subsided. My gums did not bleed with my sonicare and even though it may not seem like a good thing to have your gums bleed I think as long as it does no continue to do so, something such as the start of gum disease may have been reversed or prevented. I could be wrong but I do know for a fact that my teeth have never felt cleaner other than a professional teeth cleaning. Amazing. If you are in doubt, purchase it, I am sure you will be as happy as I am if you try it!

I received a Dr. Tung's toothbrush and 1 replacement head. The package has directions and FAQs. But let me back up and share that I have a history of at best once a year dental visits that usually go like this. "Your teeth look great, but you need to floss. You have a lot of tartar build up." So, I don't have bad teeth, but I always get chided on the bad tartar that builds up behind my lower middle teeth, which when I do floss is unmovable until dental visits. Well, I haven't been to the dentist in at least a year, so you can imagine my build up was pretty bad. I recently decided to look into natural dental care stuff. So I got the book, Holistic Dental Care, by Nadine Artemis, where she recommended an ionic toothbrush and complained that regular toothpaste is actually bad for your teeth. My curiosity was peaked, and I found Dr. Tung's ionic toothbrush and the Natural Dentist brand Peppermint Sage Healthy Teeth and Gums Fluoride-Free toothpaste. I ordered a dental cleaning tool kit, the Natural Dentist toothpaste, and the Dr. Tung's ionic toothbrush. The cleaning kit got here first. So, I took a stab at cleaning my own tartar off. As with any time I floss, my gums bled a lot at the slightest poke and prod. I was able to scrape off about 50% of the build up, but the other 50% stubbornly clung to my teeth. My bleeding gums begged me to give up, so I did. Then the Natural Dentist toothpaste got here. I have been using that for about 5 days or so. No big comment here. It didn't taste awful, it didn't taste as minty as I like, it seemed okay I guess. At that point until today, the verdict was still out on the toothpaste, especially as I read in my book that I shouldn't put glycerin on my teeth because it prevents them from remineralizing. Well, the toothpaste has glycerin as the first ingredient. Go figure!Well, I just got this Dr. Tung's toothbrush. I just used it, and I am completely stunned. First, I used it on teeth that hadn't been brushed since last night (and it is afternoon). I didn't use any toothpaste at all, just water. As I brushed, I didn't feel anything except down in my lower middle teeth where all the bleeding had happened about a week ago, I felt a slight, but distinct soreness as I brushed down there in that spot. I was hoping to see the rest of that 50% of tartar just fall off, but it didn't. I was starting to feel like I had been had by reviews and gimicky talk. After I brushed, I used my dental tools again to try for that last 50%, and sure enough it ALL came off. Not only that, but there was hardly any bleeding, which for me was just as surprising. All I can attribute that lack of bleeding to is the Natural Dentist toothpaste. I don't remember reading anything in ionic stuff about no bleeding. Anyways, after I scraped, I decided to brush my teeth with my regular toothbrush with the Natural Dentist toothpaste, and after I rinsed, WOW! My teeth felt squeaky clean, like when I get done at the dentist! I cannot believe it. I am running my tongue over my teeth and they feel so smooth, even in the back of them. I will probably be ordering these for Christmas presents this year.Due to the lack of bleeding, I plan to continue with the Natural Dentist toothpaste. Due to the tartar coming off, I plan on using this ionic toothbrush. I hope others have similar experiences.
