The winning bidder will receive the new Sonicare R980 Professional courtesy of Dr. Clifford J. Morton.  Ordinary manual toothbrushes merely scrub the surface plaque, and no matter how hard or how much you brush, you may still not be removing the plaque that lurks in hard-to-reach areas. Clinical tests have shown the sonic and electric toothbrush to be superior to a manual toothbrush by removing nearly twice as much plaque between the teeth. These toothbrushes differ because they clean with a combination of high speed (as much as 31,000 brush strokes per minute) and sonic wave action to give you an indescribable clean feeling.
