I am paranoid about teeth. I brush twice a day like a good boy.  While I was in Stop and Shop the other day, I saw that a Crest Battery-Powered toothbrush was on sale.  So I bought one. First impression is that I'm not impressed.  I don't know how it's possible, but my mouth actually feels LESS clean instead of a normal brushing.  It doesn't get as foamy and I'm drooling all over the place. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but does anyone else use these battery powered toothbrushes? I could see maybe using it once every few brushings as a "polishing" tool, but not an everday thing. Am I crazy?

Is there such a thing as a Water-Pik/toothbrush?  That's a good idea.  I like thinking about inventions. I actually have my first dental appointment in nearly a year in two weeks.  New doctor.  I had to give them specific instructions for "cleaning only, no x-rays, don't touch a goddamn thing."

My wrist is mighty and strong, probably from excessively jerking off.  Therefore, I have little to no difficulty actually brushing and flossing my teeth.  SPARKLY!

Braun Professional Care. You can keep your 5 dollar spinner brushes. I went for over a hunert bucks. My hygenist noticed the improvement right away. No stains, and healty gums.

The Panasonic Sonicare is the way for me.  Dentist noticed a immediate change.  I now have stopped helping pay for his god damn scuba trips twice a year.  Glowing teeth and supple gums.

I used to use a Spinbrush but now use a different brand - I can't remember right now.  A little lighter, more moderatly sized head, and easier to find replacements.  I have always felt I got a better cleaning using a spinning brush than without.  Of course the key is using the brush like it is a "normal" toothbrush so you get the advantages of a good brushing amplified by the added spinning and brushing actions. (Did that sentence make any sense?)  In other words, you can't count on the spinning action alone to do the work - you have to brush normally.However, there is somewhat of a learning curve involved.  Not only do you have to get used to the spinning, there is the "drool factor" that you mentioned and a couple of stylistic adjustments to make.  It dian't take me long though and I feel I get a superior cleaning out of the deal. I belive Waterpik makes a cleaning system that uses various attachments that can be attached to a main handle.  There is a spinning brush, a water spray, floss extension, etc. along with commonly available dental tools.  It has been quite a while since I have seen it though, but I also haven't been looking. EDIT:  OK, Ilooked it up and was half right.  Waterpik makes 2 different products that I was discribing as one product, the SynchroSonic Plaque Removal System and the Personal Oral Irrigator.  The SynchroSonic is a rechargeable sonic toothbrush that also has attachments for polishing and tongue cleaning.  The P.O.I. is the standard Waterpik "squrting unit" for hydro-flossing, a tounge cleaner, and a couple of other gadgets.The more you know...
