Wondering what kind of toothbrush everyone uses. I'm moving away from some colgate 360 to a braun oral B electric one these days as I have terrible plaque Contemplating a philips sonicare... regardless of brushing.. still need to floss as I've got a cavity magnet of a tooth in there What do you use to brush your teeth? Especially interested on opinions about the sonicare.
I believe in the law of rapidly diminishing returns with electric toothbrushes, so I just use one of those entry level Braun ones. Infinitely better than a manual brush, and probably 99% as good as a £250 fancy sonic model as well.
Normal leccy one + mouthwash twice a day + see the hygenist every 6 months. Anything home-use will NEVER be as good as a scrub from a professional. If you've got bad plague or breath you've got to be brushing after every meal I guess.
I'm surprised people still use manual brushes when there is universal consensus amongst dental professionals that a correctly used electric brush gives a substantially better clean then even the best manual, and they aren't even expensive unless you're a sonic UV toothbrush aficionado. If you haven't tried one yet, do it today - it makes a big difference and it's easier to boot.
Oral-B Triumph Professional Care 5000 with extra lights, timers, modes, brush heads and more electrickery than you can shake a small stick at.
Sonicare brush here, well worth the £60 it cost and infinitely better than the cheap electric brushes. Edit: Plleeeease put another "e" in the title, it is making my eye twitch!
Just out of interest, how are sonic brushes scientifically better than standard electrics? Notwithstanding the better looks, ergonomics, battery life and additional features such as screens, clinical studies have shown that sonic brushes only offer any tangible improvement if you don't floss as well. Quite frankly, flossing is at least as important as brushing, so as long as you are doing this there is no need to spend over £25 on a toothbrush. That's not to say that they are not better in an overall sense since more is usually better, just that along with a sensible brush/floss/mouthwash routine they do not offer any tangibly better cleaning. The cynic in me (and most dental professionals) would suggest that additional features such as sonic and UV are a very good way for electric toothbrush manufacturers to make a much bigger profit margin.
Manual toothbrush, brutal force, chewing gum... Haven't seen dentist after 2009 when I mustered out from military service.
I um, well...... I did purchase an expensive electric toothbrush, but in all fairness it has lastest five years so far. All I have to do is change the head every three months, and it only costs me a fiver for two new heads. I think I've got my monies worth out of it.
Well if you're well off there's no reason not to - shiny is good. But your teeth aren't any cleaner than mine - look
I'm sure those chops are perfectly clean and complete with purley whites. If my toothbrush lasts another five years (doubtful, but you never know), then it paid for itself.
