I decided to try a Quip a few months ago. I received it a few weeks before I had a teeth cleaning, which resulted in some very sore gums. New dentist and assistant. This device saved the day. The gentle yet effective action was welcomed. I would not have been able to use my previous electric. This is a non-abrasive paste without fluoride is how I will continue. Definitely worth a try for everyone.
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
