Oral B Professional Care 1000 vs Oral B Professional Care 3000 Electric Toothbrush

December 8, 2011 by: Chris Morrison

The Oral-B Pro Care 1000 is a chargeable toothbrush with one ‘daily clean ‘ mode, retailing at £59.99. It can remove twice as much plaque as a standard toothbrush due to 3D cleaning, where the brush palpitates, oscillates and revolves to attain sparklingly clean teeth. Many patrons say this brush is as good as any Braun electric toothbrush.

The Oral-B Pro Care 3000 is a rechargeable toothbrush with 3 modes: daily clean, delicate and polish, retailing at £99.99. It also uses a 3D motion to scrub teeth, pulsating 40,000 times per minute and revolving 8800 times per minute. Both models claim to give naturally nicer teeth in 21 days and are mid-range in the Oral-B electrical toothbrush collection.

The Professional Care 1000 model includes one precision clean brush head, the 3000 model with 3 interchangeable heads: precision clean, floss action and 3D white brush head. Both models have pressure sensor technology to reduce teeth and gum damage and optimize brushing results. If unnecessary force is applied while brushing, the oscillating movement of the brush will continue but the pulsation will stop. There's a outstanding sound difference and a red light will appear on the back of the handle. Both models also have a timer for exhaustive mouth cleaning. Each 30 seconds the brush head will stutter slightly, signifying that another quadrant of the mouth should be cleaned. A long stutter, which can on occasion be heard and felt, suggests that the dentist recommended two minute brushing time has ended.

In the case of delicate teeth or bleeding gums, Oral-B endorses utilizing the ‘sensitive ‘ mode on the Pro Care model 3000. The 3 brushing modes provide total cleaning for your teeth: daily clean for major cleaning of teeth and gums, sensitive clean for light yet thorough cleaning of sensitive areas and polish mode for polishing and whitening of the teeth by stain removing. Model 1000 has only one brush mode but this is reflected in the price, being one third less expensive than the 3000 model. Both feature a entirely water resistant charging unit and a two-pin UK plug safe for use in the lavatory. When the toothbrush handle is placed in the charging unit, the green charge indicator light will flash, and will shine continuously when the brush is charged. Both models can use any kind of Oral-B brush head, except the Pulsonic and Sonic.

Both models, as part of the Oral-B Professional Care range of electric toothbrushes, have been granted a Gold award by the Brit Dental Health Foundation. Oral-B is the no 1 dentist recommended electric toothbrush brand in the world. Customer reviews have been in favor of the straightforward model 1000, which is a solid, trusty chargeable toothbrush and increased value for money than the model 3000.
