What electric toothbrushes do you guys use?

posted 2 months ago

I’ve been thinking about upgrading my electric toothbrush since my current crappy one is basically on death’s door after a couple years of use. Is there like a toothbrush equivalent of a Toyota Hilux I should know about?

I have the same problem, and honestly I can just about force the thin side of the floss between my teeth but it’ll get stuck sometimes (as the tight part is the top of the tooth), which is just not great.

The brushes, which I was excited for and bought the smallest size of, will only fit under the problem area - and are uncomfy.

So I use them to clean electronics 😅

To be fair, interdental brushes are not meant to cleave the teeth apart. That would not be a good idea. The important bit is the gumline between the teeth.

BTW the very smallest size brushes can also be used to unblock those tiny holes on a shower sprayer.
