Electric toothbrush helps a lot as well i find

Surprised ive got any teeth left the amount i've cleaned them, used to clean em about 10 times a day

+1 for electric toothbrush. I put off buying one for a for years which now seems quite stupid. Brushing with a manual just doesnt cut it now. The difference is immediately noticeable.

 

[ColtDan]

Agreed, i'd never go back. massive difference

Give me a manual toothbrush any day of the week. T'other day, the wife came home with one for each of us. Everyone else was excited, apart from me, who just thought 'this fucker's gonna rattle all me teeth out in about 5 seconds'. The first time I used it, it felt very unwieldy and made my teeth sore as fuck for ages afterwards - which I guess just shows that having a layer of tarter etc on yer teeth is probably actually very protective, because once mine had all been sanded off by this fuckin' machine I didn't half feel it...

Had a leccy toothbrush for a while but the pharmacist never did get any replacement heads in so it became kinda useless once I'd not only worn the bristles down to the point they really required a combover but had also snapped the end off. Battery compartment went rusty too so binned it. Only cost £2.50 and lasted months so not complaining. No idea why it was so cheap. Other than it wasn't exactly the most robust and well-made item in the world. Was Oral B though and you'd think they'd be a bit less shonky. Was the battery bit that annoyed me - do they not expect them to be in a moisty environment?

Bought new manual toothbrush t'other day but got wrong one apparently. Seems I need a soft bristle cos medium damaged my gums and dentist told me off (why is it that dentists always feel entitled to patronise and tell you off? seems to be something they teach at dentistry school cos they all do it in much the same manner). Do rather miss me leccy one though cos was really good once I got the hang of the different technique - feels a bit odd at first keeping it in one place rather than actually brushing.

I went from electric to manual. Can't remember why but my teeth look far better now

try cleaning your mirror

 

[MrPorter]

Nah I remembered why now, cos braces. leccy couldn't clean those annoying corners as well as the manual.
I'm sure if i switched back now they'd be even better again
