In my late 40s and I’ve never had a dental hygienist compliment how clean my teeth were until now. It happened a few times at my cleaning yesterday.
I’ve never really had an oral issue. No major procedures to date.
The only change I made is swapping electric toothbrushes from Sonicare (which I’ve had multiple quality issues with) to Suri.
Otherwise I brush and floss twice a day and use a non alcoholic foaming mouth wash as well. So yay me!
The cleaning and polishing took maybe 10 minutes, wild.
Edit: Figured out why the cleaning is better. Unlike sonicare, suri only has 4 phases so when it turns off I turn it back on for another 2 phases for 3 minutes instead of 2 minutes. So the results are likely possible with any electric brush with 50% more brushing time.
I think I came across Suri while looking into what I can do with the old Sonicare brush heads (Philips will take them back in the UK but not the US, and Terracycle charges a small fortune). Once my Sonicare goes I’ll try Suri. $12 for a Suri brush head is pretty pricey but not outrageously more expensive than Sonicare, and I can feel better about what happens to it when it wears out. And if it leads to better dental visits it’s money well spent.
That’s my thoughts too. Plus this is purely an anecdote but I feel like I replace the heads half as often. But that could just be halo and horns effect.
