Comment on Why do dentists have such a bad reputation compared to other kinds of doctors?

  Yeah, most supermarkets have them where they have regular toothbrushes. Usually aimed at kids. At least in the US:

  Some examples:

    Wow, why though? Why not just let the user change the batteries or charge them like normal electric toothbrushes?

    And why would you buy these instead of a normal re-usable one?

      I find the disposable ones are overall cheaper and the batteries last about as long as the brushes. Unless you are inclined to replace your head often as such people may be than they might be a better option.

      They are more like vibrating brushes and reality is quite simple in design. Less complex then the replaceable heads that have moving parts and seals etc. After using both, I find that work just as good and both are noticeably better than non electric brushes.
