i feel so dumb even searching for this video lol. i recently got really into my oral hygiene.

I brush my teeth with violence and aggression. My wife says I look angry.

I’m 67 and just got my first electric toothbrush! …. Can’t wait to try it .. it’s charging right now. When you get older you appreciate every little thing .. or at least you should by then if you’ve learned anything about life.

As someone who hasn’t always looked after their teeth especially as a child I just want to say thank you for this. After using a manual toothbrush for years I’ve taken the leap and purchased my first electric toothbrush in the hopes I will clean my teeth better with a lot less pressure than I feel I need to use with my manual toothbrush.

I recently became super into my oral hygiene, a little late in early thirties. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL.

I really thought my dentist was just trying to make a sale by encouraging me to buy the electric brush they sell in their office, but man, I actually came to love it. The built-in timer is awesome, but also, it actually monitors your pressure. If you start brushing too hard, it makes a noise and lights up with a red ring to warn you. If you keep going for more than a few seconds, it automatically shuts off to keep you from doing any damage. How cool is that?

This is one of those moments where I randomly think about a mundane task and think “what if I’ve been doing it wrong my whole life?”

I love my electric toothbrush! The biggest thing for me was letting go of feeling like I was “cheating.” I felt like it couldn’t be that easy where I only had to guide the brush- but now it’s so fun and simple to brush! The real clean you get from it is addicting. I could not go back. (Also floss and use a water pick in addition to my electric toothbrush) ❤️🙌🏻

Wow I’ve been brushing my teeth wrong this whole time. No wonder my dentist thinks I don’t brush my teeth that often😭

OMG Whitney I’m totally doing it wrong!! Recently got an Oral B Electric toothbrush kit from my dentist and I love it! 🦷 Love your videos

It's crazy how schools don't teach us the important small stuff that will go a long way to protect your gums. But thank God I know that mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell 👍🏽 never had to use this is in a productive way in the real world. THANKS SCHOOL :)

I use an Oral-B toothbrush for my teeth cleaning routine. And I swear. The clean feeling it gives you after you are done is really nice. That is my brand of choice.

thank you whitney!! because of you i made the change from my manual toothbrush to a sonicare (pink ofc), and i love it so much!

Your videos have given me hope. I've been doing a really good job brushing, flossing, water picking, tongue scraping, and mouth wash swishing 2x/day. I still have a lot of damage and will most likely need some implants, crowns, and root canals but it's better late than never and now I'm being an example for my children and making sure they are taking good care of their teeth.

Hi. I'm a 54 year old codger who never eva wanted to use an electric toothbrush, but my dentist says I need to. Thank you so very much for giving me the tips and know what to do to use my ETB correctly. I can see (having used it for the very first time) how more effective an ETB is, but gosh its gonna take time for me given ýou cant teach an old dog new tricks'. going to watch ur video a few more times to make sure I'm brushing correctly. :)

Holy crap! Wonderful information. I love your channel! I go in for my first dental cleaning tomorrow morning!! Yay!

Thankyou for explaining, I just bought my first electric tooth brush for the very first ti.e yesterday, n I needed to learn how to properly brush my teeth with it, you explained it well. Thank you so much . 😃 😊 😁

Thank you for the instructions. Never too old to learn.

Thank you! Just got one, can't wait to use it for the first time tomorrow ❤

Thank you for the video! I recently switched to electric after years of almost brushing my gums away manually! Brushing damage is real!

I love your voice, could listen to you talk all day

Thank you! Trying out a new one for me, the Spin brush, and this was really helpful!

thank you! i'll be binge watching your videos and not only to see what else i can start correcting 😅 love when the algorithms hit!

Ive been binge watching your videos and you have some great content! I aspire to be a dental hygienist someday and your channel motivates me to continue to pursue that goal! 😁

This method is better than the method I was using to brush, thanks for sharing.

I’ve been brushing my teeth for 5 mins since forever 😬 And I could brush more gently but so far no problems. I’ll try to change that lol! I love your channel btw!

This video remains beautiful and educational even 3 years since last time viewed.

Thank you for this! I just bought an electric toothbrush for the first time today and I read through the entire user manual and was still like, "OK but how do I actually USE this thing?" This video really helped!

I just got my first BURST brush and I LOVE IT! I have so many electric toothbrushes but BURST is by far my favorite!

Excellent video. Reinforces and explains all the good things I’ve heard about. I shared this with my nephew.

thank you so much for this! i’ve been using a manual toothbrush daily (after each meal/snack) since 2018 (i’m autistic and always had a lot of trouble with brushing teeth) i’ve been going through toothbrushes quickly lately, and they all look like i chewed them (i didn’t, but i think i’m just brushing harder and harder over time) so i thought i’d get an electric one…. and then when trying it for the first time, i realized i had NO IDEA how to use one! so this was really helpful!

Thanks doctor for your suggestions, I just bought mine and I love it, thank you.

I seriously needed this. Thank you Whitney! :)

Very helpful, thank you for your clear instructions

Thank you your video lots of help me to know about lots of things related about teeth and get to recover and super clean

THANKS SO MUCH FOR TEACHING ME how to use it at first I did not know and if I did not see ur video I would have never learnt thx so much

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience.

I regret not buying an eletric toothbrush earlier. The result is so good that even the dental floss is clean after using it. Your smile is incredibly gorgeus.

Can u do a video on why some of us get heavier buildup on our teeth no matter how much we try to practice good dental hygiene? My sister hardly ever flosses but yet almost never gets cavities and has not had to have much dental work done. I on the other hand will get cavities if I don't floss and do all the steps of good dental hygiene

This was incredibly helpful!!

heyy teeth talk girl, nice vids!! rlly love u as ur very sweet p.s i am a fan of ya alr although this hadnt helped me at the exact time i needed it, i still recommended this to my frnds and yes they know abt u as well asd think the same alr all the best with ya vids sweetie

Thanks for the tip!❤

Will you make a video about the research around sparkling water and its effects on teeth!

Your teeth are beautiful! No fillings! (or composite ones). Thanks for the refresher.

Nice presentation! I have a sonicare electric tooth brush as well. Those pearly whites are vibrant….

OMG I've been brushing wrong with my electric toothbrush which I've had for over 4 years now. I just tried the method you showed in the video and my teeth have never felt so clean. I feel so dumb 🤣but grateful for the video. TY teethtalkgirl you're awesome!

This is very helpful!

Loved this tutorial. I'm buying my first electric toothbrush tomorrow

I just received an electric toothbrush from a colleague as a christmas present!! I was so excited seeing it as if a child got her long-awaited toy. 🤣 I saw your videos and other ppl's comments that electric toothbrush is as good as a manual brush and i was tempted to get one. However it was expensive and I wasn't sure if it was going to work for me. Im glad to receive an electric toothbrush as a xmas present hahah😊 thanks to teeth talk girl, I learnt how to keep my teeth and gum healthy.

thanks TTG! I'm looking for best practices

Thank you for the wonderful video :) is there such thing as “brushing your teeth too long” (as in… doing 8 min instead of 2 min) ?

FINALLY I have been waiting for this video!! I’m a fool using my electric toothbrush!!

Very helpful info. thank you.

hello, I'm a Dentist from Venezuela and currently working as a Dental hygienist in the USA, I have been trying with my patients this next technique, with both, regular and electric toothbrushes. Never horizontal movements, at the front, up, and down touching the gums softly. back, up and down with light circular motions. and at the lingual areas upper and lower, positioning the brush completely vertical and do up and down softly tooth by tooth. I noticed a huge change in their oral hygiene plus less aggression to the gums and less gum recession. I noticed using an electric brush just leaving the brush on top of the tooth, is too aggressive and produces more recession. I wanted to share this and recommend to all of you to try and then if you want to let me know how this works for you I will really appreciate it. thank you!! nice video!!

You should make one demonstrating an Oral-B brush since they really are different and I find people have a greater learning curve with their style.

My local pharmacy has 50% off oral B electric toothbrush deal so I grabbed one today, can’t wait to try it out tonight

Very informative video's..thanks Whitney. They always told me with electric brushing to stay at least for 8 seconds on 1 tooth, before going to the next one. but 2 minutes in total sounds a lot better..hahaha.

I accidentally left my manual toothbrush at my parents' house and decided it was the right time to use an electric for the first time ever. The first time I used it, I brushed like I always had and it didn't feel great. Now I know!

Thank you for all the tips 😀 🇬🇧

I just came across your page! I just purchased my BURST brush!!

Finally I've been wanting this for a long time

I thought my fiance was lying. Lol oh man, new comer, and love your videos, very informative for someone who hates going to the dentist based on past experiences but trying to get better with dental care. Also, your teeth are just amazing.

Thank you! I'm using my first electronic toothbrush for the first time, so the video was very straightforward and helpful. :) Any thoughts on electronic toothbrushes that use infrared LED technology?

Excellent channel. Even though I hope I don't need to watch your videos often, I subscribed and am going to check from time to time!

😂😂😂yeah my wife recently bought me a battery tooth brush. She was saying I should look up a video how to use it. She was right. I wasn't letting the tooth brush do the work for me. Thank you for the video. God bless

Great video, thank you.

best yt for dental...stuff👍🏽good vid

Been really get into oral hygiene the past few months, hopefully someone will comment under this in the near future and I'll be able to provide positive results 🙏

I never realized how aggressive I was with the scrubbing until I saw this video!

Yeah made the switch to electric toothbrush a couple of years ago because my hygienist recommended it. Use small head type Equate brand. Hygienist said place toothbrush between gum and teeth making sure I get both and should be about three seconds on each tooth. I'm also pretty late in my fifties taking care of oral health now very proactive. Yes brush / floss before breakfast and sometimes afterwards but not always . At least I water rinse after. But if I do brush and floss in between meals as much as I can. Also make it a point to do so before going to bed. Always use flouride rinse when I do. Every single time I brush and floss.

For those not comfortable with charcoal electric toothbrush bristles, ProSys offers different brush heads compatible with the BURST toothbrush.

Very good video. Nice tutorial. Thank you for sharing.

I upgraded to an Oral B iO series 6 electric toothbrush. It is awesome!

Just got my BURST brush through your Link! you inspired me to buy and E brush!

Great demonstration although I wished you had shown more and emphasized how to brush the front bottom particularly, because the front is where I've experienced bad recession and will be having to see a periodontist and I'm sure I am going to need gum graphing for my front tops and bottoms. Those front bottoms I'm really not able to figure out what direction to be placing my electric brush in and the dentist they never seem to help or show me!!! In fact he handed me a manual after I invested in this Philips and actually feel is doing a less evasive job than I and therefore less of a arduous & extensive excursion! I am an over-brusher and tend to be have been too "thorough" and took my academic stress out on my brushing. Lupus and braces added to this factor and sadly my front guns have disappeared and drawn away. The front bottom teeth is where I can't figure out how to angle, is it 45 degree angle downward or upward? I've just been focused on doing the best job I can while being gentle, avoiding the gum because I have little left and if I brush too close I end up very sore. The dentist said I am supposed to be brushing somewhat at the gum line, which I understand due to bacteria, but because of the recession this has caused severe pain and fear I will have nothing left. It's a bad situation as I intend to seek gum graphing, as a last resort to help give my teeth an extra hug & protection, but if I can't master brushing properly, this will be a catastrophic outcome. It is crucial I learn as correctly as possible how I'm supposed to brush. I am aware and don't scrub but just hold and allow it it's job and try to remind myself to be gentle as possible. I think the reason this gum deterioration is happening so rapidly to many people is honestly due to when we try to get help from the professionals they aren't helping or answering nor showing us!!! Handing me a manual is not helping and only confusing me as the manual route is what caused this nightmare for me in the first place. Why couldn't he simply answer my questions and show me, I brought my electric in it's case to get this vital help at the appt and he did not help! Then he wrote down a couple periodontist's after I inquired. So is this one big scam?!? My neighbor who was a dental tech in Boston in the 70's-80's, told me she used to give brushing classes to people and this was something dentists did. I really do believe they didn't want people doing things right because there is a lot of money to be had from the errors of our ways and not knowing any better. Keep people ignorant and they will need make a killing and to hell with those who wear their guns away and can't afford any help or options, what do they care!?! My neighbor finally offered to show me how after I complained about this latest dentist and that it seems the industry purposely put an end to people becoming too advanced at preventing such lucrative opportunities for themselves.

I don’t know why I love the sound of that Burst toothbrush

Thank you I just purchased a Bruush toothbrush and felt clueless lol!!

I randomly found you and am very appreciative of your videos! I recently got my 1st electric toothbrush. I got the Oral-B iO 5 (there was a crazy good sale on Amazon!). I am trying to learn to use an electric brush but am struggling a little. I always end up with spit and toothpaste dripping out of my mouth, making a mess... no matter what I do! Do you have any advice for brushing with an electric toothbrush and NOT making a huge mess? I have learned to use only a teeny tiny amount of water to moisten (not wet) the brush and a small amount of toothpaste (the manual says a "pea" size but even that seems like a lot sometimes tbh). Another hygienist on YT recommended brushing the toothpaste over each section of molars before starting, so that there will always be some toothpaste in each quadrant. Do you think that helps? And it was VERY hard not to BRUSH my teeth with the electric toothbrush at 1st! Lol but I've since learned to glide it along... and my toothbrush has a green light when the pressure is right, white if it's too light and a red light if it's too hard, at the base of the brush attachment, so you can always see it. I find it super helpful! It turns out that I was definitely someone who brushed too hard before I switched to this toothbrush! I also love the app that comes with it - it shows any areas you miss, guides you to brush your tongue, floss and use mouthwash in addition to brushing at least twice a day - and the streak function helps me make sure I brush twice EVERY DAY bc I don't want to ruin my streak and has rewards/medals for things and milestones, etc - both the streak and the medals work well at (further) incenticizing me to have better oral health (biologically I am an adult, but apparently my brain is that of a child's lol 😅). Thanks again for this video - I learned a lot!

Hi, Any recommendations for the best toothpaste? Is the charcoal toothpaste to abrasive?

Omg your teeth are incredible 😍😍😍

I was planning to get an electric toothbrush so this really helped me so mucj

I've been using an electric toothbrush and I think it's really better than the manual ones. In fact, the Oclean Flow that I use is really effective in cleaning my teeth. And it's light weight so I bring it with me when I travel.

Wow, i hsd an eldtic toothbrush on my dresser judt sitting thete. .After watching your video, i us it tonite, thanks Teeth Talk Girl!!!!!

Super helpful

Amazing video as always! Question: Hey but aren’t you also suppose to go in circular motions with electric toothbrushes that aren’t oral b?

Like manual brushes, should one angle the electric tooth brush at 45 degree angle at the gum line or just straight? Also, what about brushing above the gumline as well?

This is my first time using a electrical toothbrush and I have the burst toothbrush just like you have in the video

Had my dental checkup today. I knew I had broken 1 tooth but I also have some cavities below old fillings. I did gag for the bite wing X-rays but overall was way less anxious than I had anticipated. My dentist wrote me a prescription for Duraphar 2800 and suggested I should get an electric toothbrush. Was quite surprised to read on the toothpaste box not to rinse or drink for at least 30 minutes after brushing with the new toothpaste. I was brought up to clean my teeth and rinse straight away.

Thanks for another great vid! Could you possibly do a vid using an electric toothbrush with a round head? Can you please include placement of the head on the front teeth. I have so much trouble with the 45° angle when it comes to the front teeth and find that the smaller sensitive head doesn't even cover the entire surface area, including the gum line. Maybe I should just switch to the toothbrush you are using. I wish you were my dental hygienist! I see mine every 3mo for tartar removal and am still having issues with gingivitis despite doing everything I can :'(

I've been doing some Burst ad animations and I noticed the cammo brush and immediately recognized the brand, haha

You have perfect dream goals teeth! Beautiful smile! I think more education on dental health should be taught.

Thanks for this awesome video!! Your channel is amazing 😍 I was wondering what electric toothbrush and also which toothbrush head are you using (in terms of softness and name)? It looks so gentle and comfortable on your teeth. l use the softest brush head for sonicare with the $40 tooth brush handle, try to be gentle but it still feels hard in my mouth and bounces off my teeth and unless i use sensitivity toothpaste, i have pain in my mouth the next day. I wish I could use a manual toothbrush but my teeth just don't get as clean no matter what technique I use and I cannot brush too hard due to sensitivity and gum recession.

I have been using ETB a few years. Which brush head you recommend which can reach most parts of the tooth? I always wonder no single one brush head can do all the job. So I use both Oral B and Sonicare.

So it’s thirty seconds in each quadrant but is it the top left section in n the front is 30 seconds and then 30 more seconds for the back of the teeth and then the bottoms? Or is it thirty seconds each quadrant to do the front back and biting surface of the teeth?

I been thinking of getting a power tooth brush. I'm just not sure which one to get 🤔 😕 P.s your teeth are perfect!

loved the video thank you

Thanks

I knew it! I am a new Electric toothbrush user. I thought gentle force was not the right way but turns out it is

new sub here i love your channel and also great video you have taught me so much and have made me excited about the dentist :)
