Solomon1 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Afternoon everyone Have recently purchased an electric toothbrush.....and OMG! What a revelation!! My toothypegs are preened and groomed to a level barely recognisable. And all for £30 and a 2 minute timer twice a day. Who knew?? And why didn't ya tell me?!

The Joker Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 what model do you have? I've been using the Braun Oral-B 3D range for over a decade and have had very good results (ie, none of my teeth have fallen out) but you need to be disciplined and use the brush as part of a total mouthcare programme, including flossing and mouthwash. Exciting topic, I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oral-B crossaction Yes, flossing, mouthwash and TePes! ---------- Post added 24-05-2015 at 15:30 ---------- Exciting topic, I know. Dude. I had no idea how easy this equipment makes cleaning teeth - and how effective! I'd brush using a normal brush, thinking I was doing a good job - but would still leave loads of plaque on the teeth. Now it's all gone! Edited May 24, 2015 by Solomon1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Oral-B crossaction I use the Power Max brush heads, but then I have a bigger than average mouth. Dude. I had no idea how easy this equipment makes cleaning teeth - and how effective! I'd brush using a normal brush, thinking I was doing a good job - but would still leave loads of plaque on the teeth. Now it's all gone! That is great, I am pleased to hear it. But I cannot stress enough that you absolutely must maintain good oral hygiene forever. So at the very least, you must brush first thing every morning, then floss, brush and mouthwash every evening before bedtime. And for the Love of God, KEEP THE BATTERY CHAREGD! If the battery level drops, then it's of no use at all (you try brushing manually at 8,000 rpm and you'll see what I mean), so make sure you charge it once a week as well.

El Cid Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 My toothypegs are preened and groomed to a level barely recognisable. And all for £30 and a 2 minute timer twice a day. But dont ordinary toothbrushes do the same? I understand there is no scientifically proven best way of brushing. I find a new brush makes a big difference, manual or electric. I like my teeth, so I find this topic interesting. I flip from manual to electric, not sure which is best. I did find that the Arm+Hammer toothpaste cured my sensitive teeth.

All I can say is that I noticed a big difference on the level of filming that was left on my teeth after brushing with electric - ie none And newly sensitive teeth will sort themselves out after a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beefface Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 If you use one of those little brush things (tepees?) to sort out in between your teeth, and it's amazing how much of your last meal still dwells there! Then, have a rigorous electric toothbrush sesh, you really do feel like you have the mouth of an angel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikes10 Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 In addition to the standard orbital brush-head supplied with the electric tooth brush I also use the following http://www.oralb.co.uk/en-GB/productdetail/oral-b-trizone-replacement-toothbrush-head/ used in conjunction with Tepe interdental brushes, mouthwash and toothpaste very good oral hygiene can be achieved. Its a pity good oral hygiene isn't taught by NHS dentists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
