Electric Toothbrush

I like the way my expensive one tells you how thoroughly you’ve cleaned your teeth using the iPad/iPhone app. If you don’t have this how are supposed to know if you’ve done a complete job.

Brushed my teeth three times today, seems I'm doing well with the outsides and chewing but my insides could do with some work...

looks like you 'just' need a 405nm uv light then you can see how good your cleaning is, (whether any phones can take a snap of it though ?)
it's a bit more nerdy/sexy than disclosure tablets

I've got it sussed, took me 4:49 to achieve this...

Flipped flopped from Oral-B (tried 3500 and iO) back to Sonicare after my old one died. Sonicare just cleans my teeth better in the end, and isn't nearly as rough on the gums.

Did the lick your wrist test and no smell which means my breath is fresh.

Alway remember to lick your own wrist.

Didn't do so well today, still 99% is good enough. Only brushed for 3:39 instead of the 4:07 last night.



Only 1 in 10 of Americans brush their teeth properly.

how does the brush know where it is to generate these coverage reports ?
I move my head whilst brushing teeth, and wander around - who doesn't.
if the brush is using BLE and you have to have your phone where you are brushing your teeth that's an issue too.

Can you use the Oral B iO range whilst seated on a corner sofa ?

It’s got some kind of clever 3D technology, I have the Oral B app installed on my iPad and have it next to me when I do a guided session but I don’t look at the iPad whilst brushing. I can still achieve 100% coverage and 0s over pressure doing it this way.

The tooth paste dropping out of your mouth onto the sofa might be a problem.

OK - io brush location is now calculated based on AIchatGPT model - your brushing strategy will need to follow the norms of humanity, previous 'genius' model, you had to look at the phone.

usually brush sat on the end of the bed , watching tv ... dribbling isn't a problem

i own a electric toothbrush with Bluetooth app connection. One sucker born every minute it seems.

The coaching on mine has taught me how to brush with an electric brush correctly, started out not brushing all surfaces and applying too much pressure.

Well now I've begun glancing at my iPad to check when I've achieved 100% coverage so I know when to stop, because of this my brushing time is coming down. Managed to do 100% coverage just now in 2:36.

That's an interesting way to do it. Brush is at X angle, Y rotation and Z pressure therefore assume e.g. inner left lower jaw sector. More fine tuning, more detailed assumption.

Whats the best water flosser? or one someone can recommend as a good one? or are they just a waste of time?

I mentioned one the last time I saw the hygienist and she said they were a waste of time.

Probably to make sure you keep seeing her to get paid. I have a water flosser and it’s fantastic, so much faster than normal flossing and just as good. Have tested flossing after the water flosser numerous times to see if it missed anything but nothing.

Nope, if that was the case she wouldn’t have told me how important it was to manually floss

It’s been proven they aren’t as effective. Good for dislodging bits of food quickly but not great at getting right down below the gum line.
