Periodontitis about it a few years ago, I invested heavily in the brushes and dental jets to convincing results it must be said. It should nevertheless endurance and not its content with the usual channels of dentistry. I currently use mostly brush "hx 6932" with sometimes a small infidelity competing product for oral b triumph for descaling. It is undeniable that the Philips brush is effective, especially for cleaning interdental spaces, which is essential to prevent gum disease and the way the seal breath (although I do not know to check ...) However in terms of the strength, the product is not recommended. Indeed, and I read the remarks on other sites, the vibrating rod on which the brush is plugged eventually separating from the handle after one year of use and brush becomes inoperable and irreparable. Understand my annoyance: this is my second brush, the first having had the same symptoms after one year. My use: 4 minutes 4 minutes in the morning and evening every day. It bothers me to say it, but the oral products b are damn stronger; my wife is its OralB 8000 which has 5 years and still works as well. I saw that mark also markets sonic brushes and I intend to switch suppliers. I add that the rubber part of the handle is visually damaged in 12 months while I carefully wipe clean after each use. However, I wonder if such a reputable manufacturer Philips has also deliberately programmed a rapid wear of his product, which seems a little silly since withdraws an important benefit of consumables (24.90 3 brushes at the rate of once every 3 months!) So excellent product in terms of efficacy, but poorly designed in terms of robustness. This is what is said
