Just a hand held toothbrush. We get some kind of toothbrush as a stocking stuffer every year at my husband's parents.

Waterpik

My boyfriend got me a waterpik. Sounds funny, but I'm quite grateful. I wanted one and now I don't have to get it. =) I hope my ortho gives me a Sonicare =)

I always buy everyone a round of toothbrushes for the stockings at Christmas. We get fun ones then, like ScoobyDoo, SpongeBob, & Care Bears for the kids (teenagers actually).

I got a new manual toothbrush too, first time I've used one since being braced - bought my Oral-B day before I was braced.

It goes back to my best freinds mom who gave me one every year in my stocking at her house (I practically lived there - and DID live there for a while.)


I am obsesive about buying new toothbrushes. I can't stand a funky brush. I buy them as often or more than I do shoes! :oops: :P :D

I don't see anything obsessive about that since you need a new toothbrush every 1 to 3 months (depending on whose advice you listen to) and shoes will be good for at least 6 months, possibly up to a year, even if worn every day.
So everyone in their right mind needs a new toothbrush more often than a pair of shoes :D
Metal braces from March 24, 2005 until July 30, 2007. Estimate was 18-24 months, but I had them for 28 months.

I wish someone had offered to pay off the balance of my ortho treatment for Christmas!!! :lol:

Thankfully, I didn't receive any dental stuff! (except a new lighted 9X magnification mirror from my husband...I burned the first one out already!!!)

I had been looking all over for one of those ortho cut brushes and couldn't find one so I snagged one from the office. when I went in for my spacers today. I would have loved a Sonicare for Christmas, all though my sweetie got me a lighthouse end table which is neat.

Amychelle-I am 23 and I would buy a Care Bear brush for myself, they don't make cartoons like they used too :)

I just bought myself a waterpik with $$$ given to me as a present. When I came home with it my hubby was surprised and said "I would have gotten you that if you would have told me" :wink: That was so sweet of him to care.

We ALWAYS get new toothbrushes in the stockings. I'm another one who replaces them every couple of months or so. I have a germ fetish thingy. EWW.... gross toothbrush in your mouth - yuk!! :lol:

Anyway, I wish my ortho gave out Sonicare toothbrushes.....had he put it into the total cost, I'd have never know I bought it myself, tehehe :D
