Thats what i call perfect demonstration. Others just using theory. You did it perfectly 👍👍
Good video. I just bought the Philips sonicare 3100 toothbrush at Walmart.
Thank you , Kristinochka, very helpful video!
Hi there! My dentist recommended EXACTLY what you demonstrated. My only question for both you and my dentist is why should we brush toward the gums? When I used to manually brush, I would do gentle circles pulling food away from the gums and pulling food from the bottom of the teeth toward the top. Brushing toward the gums seems counterintuitive to me, because I imagine that would pack food down into the teeth and gums. Please explain why I am completely wrong. lol Thank you! 😁
So basically plaque builds up under the gums and you need to get under there and sweep it out. So tilting the brush towards the gums will address the issue of getting under the gums and the circular motions will address the “sweeping out” process. You don’t need to worry about jamming anything up in there as long as there is that circular motion. Our gums can tolerate a little bit of the “jamming” as they secrete a little bit of crevicular fluid if anything gets jammed where it’s not supposed to.
If you brush down and away from the gums, never getting the bristles into that pocket between the gum and the tooth, that’s when plaque starts building up more and more and turning to tartar/calculus, slowly causing periodontal disease. Hope this helps!
@@askahygienist Thank you for taking the time to explain that. I don't subscribe to many channels, but you just earned a new subscriber! 💙
@@Jumbaride welcome!
I have one but don’t really use it cuz I felt it the vibrating was too hard and fast. I had no idea there were different settings, I gotta try again
Yeah I typically go with the gentle setting
Great live demo.
Perfect thank you.
No drop of water on the brush before applying toothpaste?
Yes sorry, I do wet the brush first with water
Nice, thank you
Спасибо большое за видео,умничка!!! Красавица 🌹😍 и зубы у тебя 👍🏻👍🏻Спасибо за хорошие рекомендации ! God bless you!!!
Thank you for a very helpful video. I don't have an electric toothbrush that monitors time and buzzes. How long should I spend at each section of my teeth?
Ted Henkle that would be 30 seconds in each section. However, when I use a manual toothbrush, I just go straight through (see Video 2). On the other hand, it may be helpful for you to brush in sections and count to thirty to get an idea how quickly you should be brushing!
There are 4 quadrant in your mouth, which you'll need to brush to brush for 2-3 minutes. The Oral b Electric toothbrush includes Daily clean mode for 2 minute time, and Deep/Pro clean more of 3 minutes times. Each quadrant need to brush in equal about of time.
Brushing time:
2 minutes=120 seconds
120 seconds/4 quadrants= 30 seconds in each quadrant
3 minutes= 180 seconds
180 second/4 quadrants = 45 seconds in each quadrant
Thank you for the video(s), they are helpful.
A side note of criticism (a minor one), the music is sometimes too loud and overall distracting.
When you asked "Did you hear this", I only heard the music.
The same was in the review video "Sonicare vs Oral-B vs Quipwere" - you were suggesting comparing the sound volume of Sonicare and Oral-B, but the music volume was louder than both.
Maybe you could consider just giving up on background music.
Yes I’m sorry about that :( I have stopped using music altogether in my newer videos. I even remade a Sonicare vs Oral b video, ua-cam.com/video/8hrhSRI9440/v-deo.html
@@askahygienist Thank you
Would the Sonicare toothbrush be used in the same way as the Oral-B--rocking/walking it along the teeth/gums? Thanks for all your great videos/ information & time you take teaching us all how to better care for our teeth. :-)
Yep, same concept for using any electric toothbrush!
@maricarol85, when I switched from Oral-B Pro 1000 to Philips Sonicare, I was disappointed in the toothbrush head shape. The Sonicare cleaned the plaque off better, but the long design is more awkward and I end up not being as thorough as I used to be with the round head brush.
Any suggestions for the long (more "traditional") toothbrush head, @askahygienist?
I felt like it’s separating my front tooth, increasing gaps😢, is that true?
Brushing with an electric toothbrush won’t move your teeth. It’s possible if you are brushing too hard, you may be causing some gum recession which makes it appear that you have gaps..
Thanks for the video!!
I have a doubt... I do brush as well every bit of the gums, my soft and hard palate, trigones, the frenulums (and everything around it), the inside of the cheeks and lips, and under the tongue. Is that not important?🤔
All the gross stuff like plaque and food debris really just gets stuck on the teeth. The mucosal cells of our soft tissues slough off on their own and regenerate every 14 days or so; it’s a continuous process, all that to say I don’t think brushing all your soft tissues is absolutely necessary. I don’t do it.
@@askahygienist Thanks for the reply!!! ☺
i just got my first electric tbrush, can u pls let me know how much of a pressure m i supposed to put? like do i just gently glide it over my teeth or press a lil so it cleans well
There should be some pressure, but not a ton. You can check if your brush has a sensor, some brushes have sensors if you press too hard it’ll buzz extra at you or stop vibrating or something.
Hi I use brush with soft bristles. Is there any such thing in electric toothbrush?
None that I’ve used have been as soft as my favorite manual brush, the Nimbus toothbrush. The Burst electric toothbrush seems to have a little bit softer bristles but they are still not as soft and in fact feel kind of pokey because they are so thin :/ my favorite electric brush is Oral B because of the movement it provides. I have a video on that comparing the Sonicare to oral B
@@askahygienist thanks for your kind reply. I'll check that video.
But if it doesn't have soft bristles then i think electric toothbrush isn't my cup of tea. ☹️
@@shirsN it’s not really mine either for that reason :/ eventually I will use it when my hands get old and weak haha
@@askahygienist haha. That's perfect time!
Is it normal to get excess saliva with an electric? How to correct this?
Hm it’s possible; is that something you’ve noticed only when using an electric toothbrush? When you use a manual, there’s less saliva? There could be other reasons too… I do salivate a lot when I brush, regardless of manual or electric; I just stop brushing (or turn off the electric brush) and spit, then resume.
You can also try using a little less toothpaste. Especially if you toothpaste has SLS in it and foams up a lot, an electric brush can definitely make it more foamy and stimulate saliva flow more.
It is only with the electric.
Thanks for the information! Also if u could let me know if brushing gums is a good idea. There are conflicting views on this...
@@arjunkhanijau1119 I personally don't specifically brush my gums, but when brushing the teeth, you do want to make sure the bristles are pointed at an angle TOWARD the gums because that's where the plaque mostly builds up is on the teeth at the gumline and even underneath the gums in the pocket.
3:33 Səxy dəmo ! ❤🤣😍
1:00 Are you supposed to brush all the toothpaste around your mouth and than turn the brush on and brush your teeth.
I do like to spread the toothpaste around a bit first, but you don’t have to be meticulous about it.
@@askahygienist Ok
Are you supposed to brush your gums?
Jonny Mills no, you are supposed to brush UNDER your gums to get the plaque out from the pocket between the tooth and gums. To achieve that, you can start by pointing your brush bristles directly at your teeth, then tilting them diagonally (about a 45 degree angle) up toward the gums or down toward the gums depending on which teeth you are brushing at the moment. Side note, if you were to have no teeth, it would be good to wipe your gums with a gauze or a clean slightly wet washcloth (see video about dentures) but you do not want to take brush bristles directly to your gums, that is quite abrasive and can lead to gum recession and tissue trauma.
I mention this at 1:12, but the entire time I am brushing, I brush up toward the gums. You may not see it very well in this video because I did a more up close tutorial of proper brushing technique in video 2 with my manual brush. The angling up toward the gums applies to both manual and electric so you can check that video for a slowed-down up-close demo of the proper technique. This method is called sulcular brushing or Bass Method, you can google it for visual diagrams, etc. But you want to employ this technique EVERY time you brush, plaque builds up mostly right at and under the gums.
@@askahygienist Thanks so much! That makes sense.
@@askahygienist my dentist said not to go against the gum line cause it can cause gum recession and said to do it at a 40 degree angle. But other videos say to just go flat against the teeth and the gum line(half brush head on tooth half on gumline). I have mild gum recession, who do I listen too?
wazup3333 so I want to back it up and do some pre-explaining, sorry for the long answer in advance. the purpose of brushing is to remove plaque which builds up mostly right along the gum line.
Between each tooth and the gum around the tooth is a little pocket called the sulcus. A healthy sulcus is 2-3 millimeters. You want your brush bristles to get gently into the sulcus to remove the plaque and stimulate the gums (you are essentially massaging them to keep them firm and healthy).
THEREFORE :) I would listen to your dentist; the magic number is technically a 45 degree angle, but definitely NOT just scraping half gums half tooth. With the latter method, you are neither stimulating the sulcular area of the gums nor brushing the plaque off of the “highest traffic area” for plaque, if you will. Instead, you are indeed abrading the gums which eventually causes gum recession. Listen to your doc :).
Also if you haven’t checked it out, I do a full video on how to brush with a manual toothbrush, I think it breaks down the technique a bit better.. video 2, or just search “how to brush demo” on my channel. Hope this helps!
