Wandering Girl - If its Tuesday, it must be Belgium --
Lazy woman's guide to teeth
Oct 20, 2005 10:06 PM3742 Views

I dont know where these Closeup toothpaste guys live ... not the same planet as the morning grouches who'd take an axe to their fellow beings if they had to listen to a chirpy toothbrush first thing. In all the ads, they're waltzing around the bathroom, not a hair out of place. Did they even go to bed? I'm leaning on the sink half-awake holding on to the tap to stay vertical, and my hair is having nightmares.


The first time I tried an electric one a few years ago, I didnt have great expectations. I just like trying new gadgets, I wasn't looking for a conversion. And I got HOOKED, big time.


The brush feels bulkier and heavier because of the batteries, and the new feel takes some getting used to. The batteries last a few months, so you aren't going to need a tax-deduction to maintain the brush. Instead of a completely round head only half the rectangle is replaced by the round rotating head. So you can still brush like with a regular brush, if you want to.


But why would you want to do that ? This is a great device for lazy people. I could definitely live with not moving my hand or head much when I wake up. And, it gets your teeth as squeaky clean as they can get without visiting the Men in White.


So why are so many people still brushing the old way ?


If you get really picky, you could say its more expensive - but compared to what a dentist charges, this is nothing.


And the noise. For such a tiny motor, it makes quite a rrrrrrrrrrrrracket. Sounds like a jackhammer in a quiet house. Not a good thing if you're hungover from Saturday night. Or there are worse grouches in the house, trying to sleep.


Also, the heads cannot be replaced, like with the chargeable brands. It's Use-and-throw. So if your toothbrush usually looks like you clean the bathrooms with it, maybe you're not ready for Spinbrush yet.


What's the worst that can happen? It can turn itself on rather suddenly. The On/Off switch is an easy sliding one. So occasionally at the airport, it starts whirring from inside your suitcase or carry-on. Airlines panic, your bag gets the full security treatment. You miss your connection. Old women and people with babies are held up while you're strip searched. And then! your stash of home-grown weed is discovered..nah, just kidding. That will never happen to you. You're smart, you know better. You'd just empty out the battery compartment, and put the weed in there.


OK, seriously now! If you've never tried electric ones, give it a whirrrrrl. Its not too late for some really clean teeth.


My ''teething'' experience
Jun 25, 2003 01:16 AM5705 Views

Teeth – the final frontier to MouthShut. These are the voyages of my “teething” experiences. Its life-long mission – to boldly go where no hand / brush has gone before.


I have 32 of them. Luckily for me, I had no encounters with Mithunda and did not have to listen to his punch line “ battisi daanth tod ke haath mein rakh doonga” (loosely translated – the dialogue and not the teeth - I will break all your 32 teeth and place them in your hand).


I had my share of visits to the dentist – and since my health plan allows me to freely choose the dentist – I always choose the “right one” – wink, wink. Now come on – if I am going to be tortured, at least let me drool.


The Story so far…


I have used all types of “stuff” to clean with – monkey brand kaala danth manjan, vicco vajradanti tooth powder, charcoal paste, salt, sand, pulverized brick and the regular tooth paste. I have also used various tools – the “neem” branch (I call this the “two-in-one” – paste cum brush), soft brush, hard brush, flat brush, pointed brush and the finger too (the later was an emergency tool for those times when you wake up in strange places – samajhnewale – bin ishaara samajh jao). (Translation: For those who can understand – understand without gestures)


But at all times, I was incharge of the brushing angle, force, torque, speed and acceleration. I used to define “height of laziness” as a person who brushed with a motorized tooth brush.


All this changed when I came across Crest Spin Brush…


It was more of an impulse buy – the local grocery store was selling them at a discount – 2 for $9.99. It was a tempting offer which I could not resist.


I bought it and used it and am amazed at the feeling and the results.


The Spin Brush:


The Brush itself is similar to its manual counterpart with a handle and head. Two AAA batteries are located in the bottom of the handle and can be operated by a sliding switch in the middle. The switch has two positions – one for continuous movement and the other for stop and go.


The head has two components - a circle of moving (rotating) bristles at the top of head and fixed bristles towards the lower half.


How to Use:


You use it exactly as you would a manual brush. (Initially I was under the impression that I just had to hold the brush and it will do the rest… sorry). While the lower half of the bristles brush away, the rotating top portion helps in plaque removal and massaging the gums.


The feeling after every brushing session is identical to the one after your annual teeth cleaning visit to the dentist. So basically you are getting a professional dentist like cleaning on a daily basis.


Cleanse the brush as you would the normal manual brush and take care not to submerge the battery compartment in the water for too long.


A spare head is also provided and can be easily replaced. So is replacing the batteries.


Moti jaise daanth (Pearl like Teeth)


Teeth cleaning is great and effective and also reduces the need for dental flossing.


Since the feeling is so good, I find myself looking forward to brushing in the AM and PM. This would be a good motivation tool for the kids – so that they develop healthy oral care habits.


Even if you are skeptical about using an electric brush, I would strongly recommend you to give this a try and you will see the results for yourself.


Brushing will never me the same again – you will become addictive. Similar to MouthShut. But you will be proud to have your MouthOpen , once in a while.


Happy Brushing.

Give It A Spin!
May 23, 2003 08:25 AM4972 Views

My Husband and I were married twice. We eloped and had a Civil Ceremony and when we returned from Hawaii in May we had a Religious Ceremony. We celebrate the one in April but give a small gift to each other in May.


This year I received a battery run Tooth brush made by Crest.


PACKAGING:


It have wrapped in hard plastic with a cardboard on the back. The instruction on how to use it were written on the back.


You can choose what colours you want: White that has no trimming, (that's the one I have), red with a dark blue trim, hot pink with a purple trim, purple with a lime green trim, lime green with a blue trim, dark blue with a light blue trim and a lighter blue with a red trim. The Trims are on the bottom of the toothbrush


On my brush the Crest Logo has a red C and the rest is in blue. Underneath the Logos it has SpinBrush in blue. The button to start it is in blue. There are 9 blue rubber dots above it and I have no idea what they are for!


Each brush is in a different colour of blue. I hope you know that when the blue fades it's time to buy a new pair of bristles!


WHAT IT CAME WITH:


The handle of the brush has was ''Ergonomically designed'', (to make it easier to hold, the brush that has a fixed and moving bristles and 2 AA batteries.


HOW DO YOU USE IT:


You put a dab of toothpaste on the brush, press on the yellow button in the middle of the handle, brush your tongue, teeth and gums for two minutes.


When you are finished you rinse out the toothbrush head in hot water.


WHEN YOU HAVE TO REPLACE THE BATTERIES:


You must only use an AA Alkaline Battery, (you will need two). Where the trim is at the bottom of the brush you twist and turn it to take out the batteries and put the new ones in.


WHO MAKES THE BRUSH:


The Procter & Gamble Company makes this brush. They promise that it will ''promote brushing, reduces plaque and massage your gums.''


If you see one in a store there will be a ''try me'' button and if you push it you can watch the brushes rotate. Won't that be a nice project for you to do today.


MY CONCLUSION:


I have been using an electric toothbrush for 10 years and I think this lighter battery brush does as good a job as the electric one.


It will make my life easier when I go on a vacation. If you are looking for a new toothbrush I hope you'll give this one a try.


I don't know what the price is and don't want to know because it was a gift. I'm sure it wasn't too expensive.


I gave my Husband a pair of light cotton thong briefs as a gift. He put them on and he looked like a Sumo Wrestler.


Comments are always welcome.

Crest! Keeping My Son From Staying In Trouble!
Oct 03, 2002 01:33 PM6548 Views

Getting my 8-year-old son to brush his teeth is like pulling nails from a piece of board barehanded! How many of you parents have this same problem? Come on be honest, I know a bunch of you have to! I can’t e the only one!


With my girls they gave me no problems what so ever with brushing their teeth. And today they practice those same good “taking care of teeth” habits that they developed as children.


But with Taylor, well we are in big trouble if this is how he is going to carry on as he gets older! I have tried the flavored toothpaste, which does help a lot! And I have tried the really cool toothbrushes, which are always short lived, but better than nothing. I have threatened his life (just kidding) taken away privileges from him like his Nintendo and Play Station, his TV Time, his Playtime, which also work, because he loves these things and he doesn’t want to not be able to do these things.


I have threatened to make him vacuum the house for an entire month, sweep and clean the bathrooms, fold the clothes for a year, mow the grass with scissors, climb the highest tree in the yard (this one doesn’t work), wash the car and the threat list is endless. Sometimes they work and sometimes they don’t.


But, and yes there is a but, recently, his father has paid out over 600 bucks for some serious repair work in this boys mouth! And with that has come a very valuable lesson in life. PAIN!!! And how my son don’t care for PAIN at all! But, yes another but, there is still the task of brushing the teeth and getting him to comply. And, mother that I am, creative mother that I am, have come up with a way to help him along! What is this way you ask? Well, I shall share it with you!


The Product


Crest®! Yes Crest®, they have this really, really cool toothbrush called a Spin Brush™ that comes in various designs for the boys and girls of the world! It is battery operated and when children use it they have fun doing so.


This is what my son does. After putting flavored toothpaste on his Spin Brush™ he turns it on and the tip spins round and round and he brushes away! He actually brushes longer, even down onto the gums.


It runs off of AAA batteries and you can use the rechargeable ones with the Spin Brush™. However, be sure that you follow the instructions with the rechargeable batteries.


The head of the brush is replaceable, which is really cool! There is a combination of fixed and moving bristles, which are soft and are patented by Crest®. The moving bristles do allow for a better brush, polish and plaque removal on the teeth. While the fixed bristles allow for scrubbing action.


The noise that is made when my son uses his Spin Brush is this motorized sound, like with one of his cast iron race cars, you know the ones where they have to pull back and let it go, the noise that sound is, well this brush has a similar sound. And my son really gets into it. The sound is not bad at all and of course I am not always in the bathroom with him, but I can hear it and know that he is using it. The design he has is an army type figure, which makes brushing all the more fun. There are many designs for boys and girls. They even have one that looks like a racecar!


There are soft grips on the sides of the handles for easy usage.


The cost is around $6.00 up to $10.00 depending on where you buy it. We got my sons at the Dentist office for $6.00.


Operating


Operating is very easy. My son can do one of two things: 1. He can choose to just hold down the “on” button, found on the top of the handle, or he can 2. Press and slide the “on” button a continual power. This is the one he chooses. He says “It’s fun Mama”! And I say, “Go for it buddy! Brush away!” He is so cute and serious using this his toothbrush and I hope it stays that way.


Like I mentioned above the head is replaceable. You simply twist the head counterclockwise and off it comes from the handle. Check you local stores for the replacement heads. After getting a new one, simply twist clockwise to get back on and your child is set once again.


Replacing the batteries is easy also. At the bottom of the handle you will find a compartment that you simply twist and pull downward, which will allow the battery cover to come off. Replace with AAA Alkaline batteries and put the cover back on. make sure they are alkaline.

How I Feel


Well needless to say I am a happy camper with this gadget! My son is brushing his teeth better and I see future dental bills a lot lower!


The designs of the Spin Brush™ are made for kids and they even make them for adults! The price is not bad at all and it’s encouraging to the children. And that is a good thing.


And life once again in the household is stable and no threats to be made in order to get my son to brush his teeth. At least not yet.


Next time your child is giving you a hard time about brushing their teeth consider getting them the Spin Brush™ by Crest®!


I hope that this has helped in some kind of way!


God Bless!
