    I like the toothbrush it left my mouth feeling cleaner longer but I find it a bit to large to get at the back molars. Never would I pay $3.99 for a manual toothbrush

    As a combination of use with the Pro Health toothpaste and rinse, the toothbrush was effective in cleaning my teeth. I was able to get to every tooth and manage a good brushing. Soft bristles that didn't irritate my sensitive gums and the brush itself works just like most toothbrushes out there. I am an electric brush user so it felt like a downgrade to me. Perhaps if I always used a regular toothbrush I would have liked this product more. Overall however, I have to say that using all three products at once, (toothpaste, rinse and brush) I was happy and felt that I got a good clean and I was doing something to whiten my teeth, not just brush them.

    I found the toothbrush too soft. If it where a little tougher I would probably love it more. But non the less the size of the brush was just right !

    I got this free to try-thanks chick advisor. This toothbrush took some getting used to for me asi found the bristles a little too hard for me. I usually use extra soft brushes. After a couple uses though, i found that I really liked how the bristles seemed to clean the gum line. All in all, I would look for the extra soft version of this brush.

    I was chosen to be do this Product Review for this toothbrush. I had a hard time reviewing this because I usually use a toothbrush with a smaller head. My dentist recommends that because my teeth are very close together. I didn't have a problem with the toothbrush itself, but I think I had the feeling in my head that it wasn't working as well because it wasn't getting the hard to reach areas in my head. However, from reading other reviews it looks to be a great brush that a lot of people have found worked for them. I would recommend it for others, just not for myself.

    I found this toothbrush to be way too large. I'm used to a smaller head, but I did like the softness of the bristles.Soft bristles clean better as they can get around tooth crevices better. It seems a bit pricy also. I would not recommend this brush as it is far to large.

    Note that this item was provided to this tester at no cost through the ChickAdvisor Product Review Club.

    The Oral-B CrossAction Pro-Health ($3.99 at FutureShop Online) claims to provide the user with 7 oral care benefits in one brush. Of course, one would have to have before-and-after visits to a dental practitioner in order to measure the effectiveness of one of these claims (removes hard to reach plaque) whereas the other 6 claims can be confirmed or denied with some level of accuracy on one's own. I myself have been an Oral-B CrossAction toothbrush user for many years now, and therefore I feel qualified to compare the two: both feature the same handle length (approximately 18 cm from end to end, including brush head) along with the same contoured-grip dimensions (the rubberized applications on the standard CrossAction felt a little more soft and gummy than did the CrossAction Pro-Health), nonetheless, both toothbrushes provided excellent grip, even when used with wet hands or hands covered in toothpaste-drippings. Visual finish of the brush handles are of a different pattern, with the standard CrossAction brush featuring a solid white plastic handle, and with the CrossAction Pro-Health showing a transparent-blue finish with sparkle-or-glitter-like specks embedded within (the pattern resembles the Crest Pro-Health line of toothpaste). Where both brushes differ significantly is in the dimensions of the brush head: the CrossAction Pro-Health is 13 mm wide at its widest point, which is 3 mm up from the standard CrossAction (10 mm). In addition, the bristles are taller (once again, 13 mm tall at its highest point (including brush head), which is 3 mm up from the standard CrossAction (10 mm)). The added length of the bristles did not bother me too badly (yes, getting the toothbrush between the upper and lower back-teeth required more effort to open one's jaw wider) however the contoured grip ensured that the brush would not slip and torque out of the way when doing so. Where my harshest critique comes into play is in the use of rubberized applications on the brush head: on each side of the brush head are four rubberized rods of 2 mm each in width and 9 mm each in length. These rods are intended to support the claim 'stimulates gums', however, I would never normally want my gums 'stimulated' nor do a see a benefit in doing so. The same thing goes for 5 small dimple pockets under these rubberized rods on each side of the brush head towards the edge: instead of stimulating gums, the edges in the rubberized plastic created by these dimple pockets actually irritated the inside of my mouth considerably when brushing, which I consider far from 'stimulating'. Add to this a thin patterned rubberized tongue-scraper at the back of the brush head intended to support the claim 'removes odor-causing tongue germs', which worked fine during brushing, however, all of these rubberized applications often rub up against my teeth when brushing, causing a squeaking sensation which is FAR from pleasant.

    The layout and pattern of the multi-length bristles does in fact support the claim 'cleans along the gum line' which would in-turn support the claim 'reduces gingivitis', however, those rubberized applications once again get in the way of the brush excelling in this department (my standard CrossAction does not have rubberized applications, and hence provides better access to my gum line).

    The bristles, even though in the 'soft' variety, were in fact firmer than those of the standard CrossAction, which would lead me to believe that the brush probably 'polishes away surface stains' as the claim states just as well as other toothbrushes in its category, all while being soft enough to support the claim 'gentle on enamel'.

    Throughout the test, already being a fan of the Oral-B CrossAction line of toothbrushes, my reoccurring thought was to take a pair of needle-nose pliers to the Oral-B CrossAction Pro-Health and remove all applications of rubberized plastic, creating a firmer-bristle version of the standard Oral-B CrossAction (if I were to do so, this would be done after this test cycle.)

    At $3.99, the Oral-B CrossAction Pro-Health toothbrush is in my opinion not worth the added dollar for the rubberized plastic applications which do nothing but hinder the tooth brushing process.

    I received this product as part of ChickAdvisor's Product Review Club. Thank you for the opportunity.

    I use an electric tooth brush on a daily basis but in order to review this product I tried it for about a week.

    The toothbrush was way to soft for me and I did not enjoy the rubber part. I was able to reach far with it and that was a plus but I think I will be sticking to my electric toothbrush from now on.

    i got this toothbrush as part of the crest pro-health package from chickadvisor to try for free. overall i really liked using the toothbrush and my teeth felt much cleaner and smoother after using it in comparison to my old toothbrush. i felt like the different levels on the toothbrush covered more surface area on my teeth. my only complaint is that when i was brushing it felt like the toothpaste kind of dissapeared into the toothbrush rather than going on my teeth. i ended up using a bit more toothpaste than i normally do to compansate for that. overall i liked the toothbrush and would continue to use it.
