I have a tendency to gently guide the brush in circular motions just like I might with a regular brush. I don't find it hurts my gums because I am gentle and don't apply excessive pressure, but it's so hard to just guide the brush. 😂
Thank you for your helpful video! After having some dental work done, the hygienist suggested I use an electric toothbrush for better cleaning of my crown. I tried one once, but didn't like all the vibration. I got a new one, and wanted to check out a video before giving it another try!
Thank you for teaching me on how to brush my teeth with an electric toothbrush it will help me make my smile more confident and clean every theeth and flossing 😁💚 plus cleaning cavities thank you very much!!😆
I just bought the $50 Phillips one on Amazon and my mouth feels like i just got a cleaning at the dentist after using it. Crazy. Dentist recommended and said she was a big advocate of them, I see why.
yeah i just switched from a manual to electric and i was scrubbing the shit out of my teeth and my gums were bleeding and so irritated (they usually aren’t) so i’m glad i watched this😭
But you have to keep ur mouth / lips closed when you do it right? It sprays everywhere if not but when I keep it closed it’s hard to get the back of my teeth
I realized recently I have been brushing with too much pressure for as long as I can remember and my dentist said this may have lead to some tooth sensitivity I have sometimes. (I recently got an electric toothbrush and am using lighter pressure now which is working great!). I think it may have been wearing on some of the enamel. My question I wanted to ask is if this is reversible? If I continue to brush with less pressure can the tooth sensitivity etc. improve over time?
Well, it took me 53-1/2 years but I’ve finally joined Team Electric Toothbrush so I’m here learning how to use mine the correct way! Thank You for making this wonderful, helpful tutorial. Liked & Subscribed! 😃👍
yes! toothbrushes can remove plaque, just not tartar! here's a video of mine that explains more: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_HiX66SvNF4.html
Just bought an electric toothbrush. Came here first to make sure i use it properly. So used to doing all the work, had to make sure the toothbrush does all the work lol
I just tried using one and it was was horrible for me even on the lowest setting and using very light pressure. Is that normal? Does it take getting used to? I can't stand the vibrations, it's a very uncomfortable sensation for me.
Idk if this is helpful, but I also have pretty sensitive teeth and gums. So, I bought one with multiple intensity settings (only use low), AND I bought a pack of sensitive brush heads that are made for the brush as well. I’m pretty sure the harder/stiffer the brush head bristles are, the worse it is for your teeth (creates gum recession and more), so using sensitive definitely won’t do anyone any harm. It has been working very well for me recently. I’m a recent convert from un ultra soft manual brush to a cheap Philips electric brush. It has made brushing WAY easier and less messy too.
Sorry I reset my RU-vid a long time ago, and I found you again, now! Please tell me how to use the electric brush comfortably. It is surprising and slightly frightening, as I wonder if intense is okay for enamel?
Hi! Thanks for the awesome video :)) When gliding slowly, I feel like 2 min is not enough time for all the surfaces. Is 3-4 minutes overbrushing? Cheers!
usually brushing for longer than 2 minutes is fine -- as long as you are gentle and using proper technique. here's a video of mine that explains: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ncmR6BR9Mlo.html (and always ask your individual dental provider to check your teeth/gums to confirm you're brushing properly)!
Hi Whitney, I hope this finds you well. I know this video is a couple of months old. I hope you see this 😅. However, I recently got an electric toothbrush. The Philips Sonicare 5100 to be exact. I am trying to have the toothbrush touch the gum line and tooth. However, I’ve got big teeth and on some teeth the toothbrush head cannot touch my gum line and cover the entire tooth. I am allowing the toothbrush to do the job for me, and allow gentle pressure. Do you have any suggestions ? If you do respond thank you for your time!! If not thank you so much for providing information for oral care. ☺️🙆🏼♀️♥️
I recently switched from oral b to sonicare. IT FEELS SO DIFFERENT. Oral B felt like... drill scrubbing my teeth. Sonicare feels like dentist polishing lite. The brush heads on sonicare felt so soft that I kept triggering the pressure sensor on the tooth brush... As far as I researched, soft bristles are good thing, but it felt so wrong after so many years of brushing more harshly than I should have. I just started forcing myself to not manually brush with the electric toothbrush, but it feels like im not doing well enough 😂 I think its a psychological thing.
I brushed too hard when I used a manual toothbrush. If you use either & brush too hard it recks your gums. Mine are recessed from brushing my teeth too hard.
I can't use an electric toothbrush for this reason. The heads are so small they don't clean my teeth if I just guide it along. I also hate the 2 minute timers. I always brush my teeth for close to 5 minutes so I always have to turn it back on. 2 minutes is so fast and when I try to do it in that amount of time, there's fuzz left over. But with manual toothbrushes I do some scrubbing. I'm sorry but the small, light motions don't do enough. There's fuzz left. Probably because I only brush my teeth a couple times a week due to depression. I try to be gentle with the scrubbing at least and try not to scrub the gum parts.
yes! change it every 3 months or after you're sick -- whichever comes first :) hope this helps -- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SUgUYkpm55Q.html
Another awesome video, I was just thinking about this topic, thank you. Nice little touch with the eyeliner, eyelashes on point. Have a fantastic tomorrow, see ya next time.
either way works! as long as you're using proper technique! here's a video of mine that further explains -- hope this helps: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YimNq630_ks.html
Hi, i tried this and my gums were bleeding :( Is this normal? i use to not take care of my teeth also, is it normal for my adult teeth to move very little like barely noticeable if i press against them? pls tell me if these things r normal im 13 and im now trying to take care of my teeth. im scared, i dont wanna loose my teeth, so is this stuff normal?
Yes, it’s normal. Keep brushing and flossing and it should stop bleeding within a couple weeks. If bleeding continues, you should see a dentist. And the teeth moving is 100% normal, teeth are supposed to have a little leeway in the jaw:)
Nope. Brush twice a day, 30 mins after breakfast, and before bedtime is the best. Too much brushing could harm your teeth and gums. Rinsing your mouth for 30 secs with drinking water after a meal is better
I spit the accumulated mix of saliva/toothpaste every 30 seconds or 1 minute. I power off my elec tb, spit, power on and continue with routine. It doesn't affect the 2 minute timer when I power it off when I spit.
