I don't have any dentist recommendations, not having gotten a new one since my retired.
But I will advocate Sonicare toothbrushes. My old dentist recommended them (without pushing them) and although they're pricey ($100, and do check to see if the dentist you find sells them, because mine sold them cheaper than Target) I figured it was an investment in my teeth. And if it prevented one cavity in its lifetime, it would pay for itself.
6 months later, my dental hygenist gave me the big thumbs up my dental hygenie. Sonicare is REALLY good for cleaning your back teeth, which if you're like just about everyone else, it a problem area. It gets them all clean and shiny without any worry of brushing too hard (which is bad for your gums). I still have problems with my teeth, but at least now they're cleaner. Every little bit helps, right?
