Most homo sapiens go to the dentist ONLY when there is no alternative, either there is a raging pain in the tooth or there has been a traumatic injury. Some go because they've swallowed the con job that says you should visit annually. This new sub-species goes just to get the fangs polished. Wierd? Link to post Share on other sites

I go to the dentist every 6 months to have them checked and descaled. Normal practise. Link to post Share on other sites

nzlegend 1 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 How is this, after moaning earlier in this thread that costco didn't stock the basic model of Braun refills anymore, I went to Costco yesterday and voila' there were bulk packs of the basic refills! Murphys law in action there! You know JA, generations got by without computers, the internet, DVD's, fat powder skis etc etc etc, that doesn't mean I have to listen to an AM transistor radio, use telegrams and ride skinny little old school skis, does it?. Mate either you are either taking the piss, or you are stubbornly clinging to one of the weakest arguments ever. I want to think it's the former. CB, I know you have fat powder skis - you lazy bugger, get back on skinny skis and do it the good old fashioned way! get some moral fibre! Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 this is actually what I've been thinking since stuntcok asked the question. "what did slackers do before the internet" Link to post Share on other sites

Always good to have a discussion about totally inconsequential matters. Keeps the brain cell active. (and yes, I did mean the singular!) Link to post Share on other sites

I only use my fat skis for commuting nowadays. Im thinking about skinning to school the next big dump we get here Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 sorry, just going past this thread. It should be "electric" toothbrushes. Link to post Share on other sites
Amos in Utsunomia 0 Posted September 20, 2008 Share Posted September 20, 2008 I've decided I'm going to get one. I might have missed this, but --- do you use normal toothpaste with these things? Link to post Share on other sites
HighlyTrainedNovaTeacher 2 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 I got me the Oral B Denta Pride Triumph, apparently the top of the range. It's fun actually. Only been using it since yesterday but will report in a week about my new 'p-ting' whiteness of teeth Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted September 21, 2008 Share Posted September 21, 2008 Just a bit of toothpaste will do the trick Amos. Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted September 22, 2008 Share Posted September 22, 2008 But such patterns could be sold as art for huge amounts of cash. Link to post Share on other sites
neversummer 0 Posted September 23, 2008 Share Posted September 23, 2008 I will never go back to a non-electric one. The only thing I don't like is how much it costs for each head but I guess Oral B has to make money somewhere Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted September 23, 2008 Author Share Posted September 23, 2008 NS, how much do the heads cost here? I bought a few extra when I was stateside and they were like $8-12 each... Link to post Share on other sites
Amos in Utsunomia 0 Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 Got one bought, been using it for a few days now. Fun isn't it. I am learning how to not spray everywhere with toothpaste the difficult way though. Link to post Share on other sites
