A Blonde Bella Moment ~ Tuesday December 11, 2007
I have to tell you guys a somewhat funny story about a toothbrush called the Roto-Dent. Some time ago, I purchased one from my dentist’s office after a routine cleansing as it would be an asset to the whole dental hygienic experience! I love clean teeth and gums!
Anyway, the reason I opted for this rather expensive brush was that first and foremost it had a lifetime warranty, four interchangeable heads, and if anything happened I could get another one from my dentist ... and since I have never really had a mechanical brush, I opted to buy this Roto-Dent to enhance my otherwise boring dental routine!
So, I was in oral heaven until ...
one day my Roto baby just quit rotating ...
Mind you, I have a daughter who has braces at 15 and when she visits she had taken over using my Roto-Dent for her dental pleasures. She loved it, too, using the other two heads that of course, I was NOT using! We love each other but~ hey, we don’t share the same dental brush heads! She hates using the water pik which is the only thing she has at her dad’s so coming here to use my Roto-Dent was something she really looked forward too, and even asked me to buy her one of her own for Christmas! That would be an expensive Christmas present, but I had planned on getting her one because with her dental needs she really could use one.
Okay, allright ... back to the story!
Anyway, I saw my dentist this past week, and I informed her of the plight of my situation with the Roto-Dent! I told them it just quit! and so much for the lifetime warranty I was miffed! and of course I was promptly presented with another one which I was excited about! She told me just to bring the old one back in next time I came which will be in March. So, I bring my new Roto baby home and open it up, and am using it, and I am once again in heaven!
and then I am getting ready to throw the Styrofoam packing in the garbage when I notice that there is something on the back side! It looked like a power cord with a plug-in unit. Yes folks, instead of getting another brush, all I had to do was charge mine up! and of course, the charge hole was on the very end of the handle, who would've seen that?
*insert giggles here*
My daughter and I laughed till we rolled in the floor over this one! I suppose we will giggle about this one forever! and of course, my daughter was in heaven because she got an early Christmas present!
Will I tell my dentist of this most embarrassing find? Heck no! So why am I telling you guys? Good question! My credibility and intelligence is totally shot to hell now, huh? So there you have it folks, I guess a lifetime warranty means nothing without a charge unit! and a brain!
and now a word from our Sponsor!
ha!
...! Okay, lunch break is over, I've brushed my teeth, and back to work I go! Enjoy your day, bloggers!

| You do realize you will have to explain when you don't return the Roto-dent that "doesn't work" to the dentists office? I guess you'll just have to fess up. Sherry  |  | |
| Leave it to you to remind me of that! maybe I'll run across one somewhere that is deader than a doorknob! (oh, forget that now that I think about it ... they have her name and dental logo on them!) oh what to do ... what to do ... Well, see it's like this ... How was I to know it was rechargeable? after all I never saw the charger with the first brush, it obviously got thrown in the garbage by mistake because it was stuffed in the StyroFoam on the backside! for goodness sakes! and it said it was a lifetime warranty, right? It didn't say nuttin' about needin' charging! Well, of course I didn't read the actual directions that came with it, as they went in the garbage along with the charger! |  | |
yeah...I do believe I can get used to this. 
I'm beginning to watch you and Dr. Oz - for more life saving information - I wonder if you ate "corn and steak" on the same night if your tummy could handle it?
