I go to the dentist annually, brush twice daily and floss 3 or 4 times a week, but man oh man is this electric toothbrush a whole new world…my teeth feel dentist clean each time. By no means was my mouth poorly taken care of, but it feels in a different world now.

If you can, get one ASAP.

    I got one as a gift a long time ago and never opened it. Maybe I should try it… Does it take longer or can you brush quickly with it when you’re in a hurry, the way that you can with a basic toothbrush?

      The brush is still being controlled by you. It just shakes its head as fast as a rattlesnake. Most have a timer built in, giving vibrations every 30 seconds and longer vibration when it’s hit the 2 minute mark. But you can always turn it off whenever you want, whether before of after the 2 minutes.

    Thanks for the reminder - I need to replace the head on mine

    A water flosser is also really effective, but between mess and lack of counter space, I haven’t been able to get it into a routine
