Electric Toothbrush Is Better Than Manual Brush for Removing Bacteria and
The electric toothbrush is far better than a standard manual brush when removing bacteria and other debris from your teeth. In fact, it is far better in many applications. Self-effleurage or auto massage is perhaps my favorite off-label use. I turn on the power, firmly grasp the brush head, and I’m off to the races. A standard brush simply does not have the reach or horsepower to get the job done. As the electric toothbrush was designed for bacteria removal, I use it for just that to debride and disinfect areas that my standard cleaning supplies have never touched. After my nightly hygiene routine, I bring it along with me to the bedroom as a symbolic gun under my pillow. What an incredibly versatile tool the electric toothbrush truly is. While I may not be your typical dentist, I’m not that weird.
Electric Toothbrush: How to Use It
Here’s how to actually use an electric toothbrush.(upbeat contemporary music) We’re heading down to the clinic but first, we’re gonna need some stuff. (windshield window scraping) (cheerful music) All right so we’re all set up. All we need now is just a beautiful model to suddenly appear in our chair. Wouldn’t that be nice? Well, would you look at that? How convenient. Let’s get started. The first thing you need to understand is that teeth are not flat. They have all these little grooves and pits in them and it’s important to make sure you clean them out. The best way to do this is just to make sure that you change the direction of the brush head while cleaning your teeth. Surprisingly though the tops of the teeth where the pits and the grooves are isn’t where we capture the most plaque in our mouth. In fact, by using a special dye, we can find exactly where the most plaque is being captured and that happens to be right at the gum line. Now we’re gonna jump right into the brushing technique.
How to Brush Your Teeth Correctly with an Electric Toothbrush
What I’ve found works the best is to actually engage the bristles underneath the gum line and then sweep up and away from the gums. This ensures that we can disturb the bacteria biofilm at the gum line and then flush it away. I’m gonna let this clip play to the very end just to give you guys an idea of how long it actually takes to get this kind of plaque off the gumline. Now in order to actually engage into the gum line, it’s really important that you use the correct angle. Here we can see the incorrect technique. What we would like to see is angling the brush 45 degrees up towards the gums to allow the bristles to engage underneath. When this is done, you can see the bacteria can be effectively removed from the gums and you can keep yourself nice and free of inflammation. Your teeth have a lot of surfaces so it’s really important to get to them all.
