Vitality 100 Criss Cross

I used to brush my teeth with a manual medium bristled toothbrush after daytime meals, and with an electric toothbrush at night (Oral B Vitality 100, with a non-original compatible head). I never paid attention to the pressure. My gums have been often red, bleeding and sore, but my dentist has never told me this was a problem, or to change something in my oral care. A couple of weeks ago I was horrified to notice that some of my gums have been receding. After binge-watching dental hygienist videos on YouTube, I realized I had always been brushing incorrectly, so I adopted the Bass technique. I also discovered that the electric toothbrush head was causing scratches and cuts on my gums (I also heard that some dentists don’t recommend it for people with gum recession), so for now I'm using only a manual toothbrush - I finally bought one with soft bristles. My gums are now pinker and sting way less, but the problems are: * **It takes me 12 minutes just to brush**! I try to be very thorough and reach every tooth, but I’m always worried I’ve missed a spot or haven't cleaned properly where my molars aren’t well aligned, so sometimes I go back over them. Also, the soft bristles don’t let me feel where I’m brushing as well as the medium ones. * **I can’t figure out the right pressure**. Currently I apply zero pressure and just “caress” the teeth (making sure I hear the very light sound of the bristles rubbing the tooth). But I don’t know if it's too light to clean enough. If I press a bit more, my gums get slightly irritated and temporary sting, but maybe that’s the right price to pay for plaque removal? Idk. Any suggestion? Brushing my teeth has become a moment I dread. I really need to reduce the brushing time without also reducing cleaning quality (if there's any). In the night, when I add interdental brushes, water flossing (my teeth are too tight to let regular floss go through), and mouthwash, it can take me over an hour. 😥

Oral-B Vitality D100 (Jégvarázs edisön, a rózsaszin fej nélkül, meg alul nem Elza van, hanem Olaf), de már le kellene cserélni 28 éves férfi létemre, meg az akksija sem a legjobb már. https://preview.redd.it/bnwwq29r0mef1.jpeg?width=446&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=648f62d6d209686fec3d7b0293ca3fa47dec273b

you have to change the brush heads every 3-4 months, im using oral b vitality 100 from 4 years and it runs really good, the brush heads are easily available in local stores as well as on e commerce sites. My brother uses the same as well for 4 years and rarely i even batted an eye on how its working

Been using an electric toothbrush for a year now , no complains . I bought mine off Myntra at some discount , around 1.5K

depends on why you need it - if you can use the normal brush as intended- you are good. i was recommended by my dentist to get an electric toothbrush because in some parts i was over / aggressive cleaning leading to wear out and cavities which required a root canal, while in some areas i was too soft that enough cleaning didn’t happen. with electric - i only had to hold the brush against my teeth and the action of the brush did the cleaning as long as i slowly moved on each tooth. that has helped me a lot . originally i had an oral b (https://amzn.in/d/09KLqGAr) - then replaced to a slim perfora one (https://amzn.in/d/02ZQnLWc) and now use the different perfora (https://amzn.in/d/0fnyYSMc) the oral b one broke down , so tried the perfora slim one - and it’s good but doesn’t work enough for me (but may work for you , like it works for some of my friends) i really love the new perfora one cause it has usb c charging and ‘feels’ more powerful - but all of them have almost same level of cleaning

Yes, switched to electric last month 😅 never going back to the traditional one again. Worth every penny

Pinaka okay na option yung **[Oral B Pro 500](https://s.shopee.ph/1gAjMemzVP)** sa P&G Official Store ka bumili para sure. Though medyo pricey. Pero, check mo rin itong **[Oral-B Cross Action](https://s.shopee.ph/4As4L1eSE1)** yan gamit ko before mag switch kay Oral B Pro 500. Cheaper alternative and maganda rin naman performance niya. Yes, life changing naman since flexible ikot ng brush nya mas nalilinis talaga teeth ko.
