is better. I didn’t realize what a difference they made until my first one started to die. It would charge but apparently wasn’t brushing as well. I went to get my teeth cleaned, same hygienist, and it was awful. Talked about it and I got a new electric toothbrush. Hurt for a couple of weeks then fine. Next time I went to the dentist, no problem.
