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.

    Yeah, you can get a perfectly fine Sonicare for like 30-40 bucks. The real expensive part of Sonicare is the brush heads, but they’re so ubiquitous that there are plenty of third party options in whatever style you want (such as “natural bristles” I am sure).
