Worth noting: our Dental Techs always know that we use an electric, and specifically Sonicare. They have told us many times that it makes a big difference in how well we clean our teeth. Since we would like to die with our natural teeth, the electrics are a no-brainer!
Soak my teeth in a cup. If you have more than two teeth you have to use a teeth brush.
Have always brushed twice daily, but switched to electric toothbrush 5 years ago, & added a WaterPik flosser 4 years ago that I use before bed time. Both have made a huge difference in health of teeth & gums.
Other or both. I have several brushes. Depending on where I am, home or traveling, I have different brushes. One electric and regular in the house, one set in the trailer and one set in my travel kit. I also carry a couple of new regulars in the truck and car.
How about a sweet gum branch, broken off and used with baking soda.
Husband uses electric…I use standard!
Use a standard brush as electric can cause gums to recede if you’re prone to that. Then use a Hydrofloss to finish up.
Any brush can cause a recession if you brush incorrectly. Manual toothbrushes can do a lot of damage.
I use a regular brush in the A.M. In the evening before bed I use a Sonicare electric. It keeps my dentist from whining.
One word…dentures.
I use a brush that’s for my dentures, and a Sonicare on my few real teeth.
remove, soak, regular brush, rinse, replace.
you mean you’re supposed to brush ’em? lol. electric all the way.
Standard toothbrush after breakfast/lunch; electric toothbrush, Water Pic, and my dentist-recommended mouthwash at night.
I’m so glad to see that the majority are using an electric toothbrush. I’m a (newly) retired hygienist. There is so much research now (decades) that supports that an electric brush is superior to a manual toothbrush. An oscillating brush head is best, then a sonic. Stay away from dual-head brush heads (jack of all trades, master of none) Invest in a good name brand (Oral-B-Braun or Sonicare) stay away from the off brands and the $5-20 ones. Change your brush head every 3 months or if you are sick.
Both
Teeth. Those fake things I take out rinse toss in the teeth hopper continue drinking my coffee through tight lips. Wait an hour to boil and bubble, remove brush quickly a ribbon of self adhesive pop and snap into place upper and bottom and ready for another day. The days of standing in front of the mirror are long ago. Diabetes and medication took care of them.
I use both – an electric at night and a standard in the morning.
I do the reverse…lol.
About a decade ago, my dentist recommended I use a Sonicare toothbrush and Waterpik due to my bleeding gums and the risk of periodontal disease. I got both from Costco when they were on sale and within two semiannual cleanings, my dentist saw marked improvement. After a few years, my gums were back where they ‘should have been’, and I have only had one cavity in that time (under an existing filling). It just proves that an ounce of prevention (and a lot of flossing!) prevents 87 Metric tons of cure.
Electric hooked up….Manual boon docking
Both, Morning brush manual, night electric
