Smart Clean 360 Rechargeable Electric Toothbrush

You need a better electric toothbrush - when I travel it lasts the whole week or more on one charge and you definitely do not need more than one head for 7-10 days. Oral b smart clean got a 2 pack at Costco like 2 yrs ago comes with a nice travel case too

Another vote for Oral-b here! I think mine was the Smart 360 two pack from Costco. It has a few cleaning modes, including Sensitive and Gum Care. It also lights up red if you’re pressing it on your teeth too hard.

I have the Oral-B from Costco with the round head. I really like it. I would suggest getting a water pick also

Just by reading your description (I didn’t watch the video) it sounds correct. There’s more than one proper technique, it just depends what you’re trying to achieve. Look up Bass brushing method, as this is the one we recommend to people 99% of the time. But if this doctor is someone like a periodontist or specialist of some kind, he may be recommending you a different way which is fine. We’re just gently trying to disrupt plaque on a regular basis, it’s definitely not like scouring dirty dishes. A lot of people aren’t brushing properly. Most of us get taught how to do it in 2nd grade and nobody teaches you again when you’re an adult (it’s different technique for children). As long as you’re removing plaque ok your hygienist might not have reviewed brushing with you. Next time you go for your appointment have them go over it with you. Some people are way too heavy handed. Holding the handle lightly in your fingertips, or using your non dominant hand are both little strategies we use especially in periodontist offices to help people avoid that autopilot muscle memory of scrubbing too hard that is so often happening. Always extra soft toothbrush no matter what. I prefer the Nimbus if you want to use manual, or Oral B with the gum care extra soft heads if you want electric. And finally recession can be caused by so many things. Hard brushing could be contributing, but if it’s generalized throughout your entire mouth I’d be looking more into clenching and grinding forces as a likely culprit. Things like history of braces can also affect recession, and so can an improper bite. There can be a lot of factors at play.

Yes brush your tongue or use a scraper daily. Huge for reducing oral bacteria. Oral B is much better than Sonicare imo but whatever you use, don’t apply pressure onto the tooth with it, just rest it lightly. You can flip the TB head vertically to help fit into those spaces, if the guy is a periodontist no need to be skeptical you can adopt his tips and benefit. He’s not being weird, I often have to tip my brush like that in the front teeth, the key is to make sure the toothbrush bristle is touching your gum tissue gently so basically whatever you have to do to attain that. The shape of the oral B is round so it might reach those areas for you without causing such a mess. I order the Nimbus on Amazon, it comes with a few in one pack I think. Periodontists like manual brushes because they are harder to hurt yourself with. Most people are too heavy handed with electric. Hygienists and dentists like electric because they typically do a better job of cleaning than manual. Two schools of thought, two valid viewpoints. Work with your hygienist to see what gives the best results for you.

5 years of OralB- 1000 with crossaction head, then changed to new more effective precise clean(or vice r verse ) and frontal gum recession. genetic in terms of gums ok, 38yo(start Oral b from 28), snoring and dry upper mouth yes, no other factors beside getting older, but on first five years also was(probably cumulative). grafting of frontal, and surgeons/doctors/periodentist/. So You choose manual or continue electric with sensitive head? or new Oral-B Sensitive & Gum X-Filament Brush Head

Used Sonicare for over a decade and then purchased Oral B.. I prefer that over the sonicare .

I think mine was the 2 pack for 70… I have had these for years and am happy with it. I prefer the round heads.

I had my Oral-B (type 3764) for more than 10 years. Never noticed any mold issues, except a little bit of mildew at the base which is easy to clean. I also don’t really put any extra care into cleaning it.
