"  Almost every time I see my dentist, she encourages me to switch to an electric toothbrush. For years I resisted, mainly because of laziness. Did I really want to make room near my sink for something else? Did I want to be bothered finding the right replacement heads every few months? Wouldn&amp;#039;t it be way more expensive than using an old-fashioned manual brush?  I&amp;#039;m not sure what changed my mind\u2014I think seeing that my gums were starting to get inflamed made me nervous\u2014but a few weeks ago I finally switched. And I hereby confess that I was wrong. (With one exception: The electric is more expensive, but you can get a decent one starting at around $50, and the replacement heads run an average of $5 every three months, which isn&amp;#039;t too bad.)  The unit I picked is super slim, so making space for it wasn&amp;#039;t a problem\u2026 and I figured out that my local grocery store carries the replacement heads (as does drugstore.com). I also like the way the brush feels (like a mini-massage for your mouth) and mine has a timer so it encourages me to brush for longer. Best of all, my teeth feel cleaner, and my gums no longer bleed when I floss.  What kind of toothbrush do you use?  \u2014Barbara Brody, Heath Editor "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
