Excellent. If anyone else is like me, it's a great idea to go back and watch this because I let incorrect brushing habits creep in. Thanks for putting me back on track!

I really appreciate you posting this video. My dental hygienist told me that I have excellent hygiene but that I might be brushing a little too hard on my gums, and mentioned that with a Sonicare it's not necessary to move the brush like you do with a manual brush. Your clarification of that really helps.

I just bought my first electric toothbrush and had no idea how to use it, thank you for your tutorial, now I can start brushing away 😁

I’m on my second sonic care (first one died after about 3 years). I have just realized I wasn’t using it right for the past 3 years haha. This vid was hugely helpful. Thank you!!

Thank you for a great video that shows how to brush properly. I have been doing it wrong especially in the middle.

Thank You, Sarah for posting this very helpful video about using a sonicate toothbrush. I just purchased one. I am later to the game using this innovative piece of equipment for dental hygiene but a real "game changer" when it comes to dental health. Your gentle persuasive presentation gives me the courage I will be able to use the sonicate correctly. Best Wishes!

Great video! Very informative and clear instructions on using Sonicare properly. Thank you!!

Just got my Sonicare 4100 and this was extremely helpful on how I should use it so I get the maximum benefit. Thanks very much!

I’m glad other people left comments I got toothpaste everywhere these first few times I used it thanks for Posting this… I felt real slow that I need a video for a toothbrush.. glad I’m not the only one 😂

Thank you for posting this. You've helped me tremendously!

Simple and to the point. Very good demo.

Thanks for clarifying the 45 degree angle thing. The company doesn't understand that it could be 45 degrees in either direction.

I love the Sonicare. Great tutorial.

Wow this was super helpful. I just got my first sonicare

I did not know it stops after two minutes :) i did learn allot from this video thank you very much.

Best demonstration! Thank you!

Your demo. was very helpful. I learned alot from it Thank You

thank you so much your explanation was excellent

This is very helpful, thank you! My oral b just died, and I decided to give sconicare a try, but after the first use was left wondering on technique. I’m looking forward to future uses, and then I need to replace heads, I have a better idea as to what to look for!

I got one to do my wisdom teeth mainly, it works well but is really uncomfortable the first time. Instructions it came with were terrible which is why I'm here.

Great ! Just bought one, this was really useful , thanks :-)

Awesome tips. I was doing things the opposite. Thank you.

Thank you for this video. Very helpful.

Thank you very much! I’ve had a sonicare for just a short time and now I know how to use it correctly lol! 😊👍🏻

45 angle AWAY from the gums? i thought it was supposed to be towards the gums no? my new ultrasonic toothbrush says its 45 towards gums in the user manual

Very helpful. Thanks!

Just got this and tried it for the first time and I honestly dont like it very much. I prefer a manual toothbrush. But hopefully I'll get used to it.

Just got a sonicare after 6 years of oral b. I find it interesting that you don’t have to scrub and the brush does it for you

very cool Sarah

Thank you for your tutorial great job I use the Phillips sonic care toothbrush and it's recommended by my dentist I love it it clean my teeth roof of my mouth and tongue with it

I've been using the back and forth scrubbing with mine and that's probably why i have a sensitivity issue now.

Orchestras should tune to this toothbrush, straightup a middle C

Man , the right technic is key

Very helpful!

3:44 45 degree angle away from the gums? I've been doing it 45 degrees toward the gums :/ edit: The instruction manual says 45 degrees towards gum line. The opposite of what you're doing I think.

Thank you, super helpful video :) I've recently started using a sonic toothbrush and I'm still confused about the guidance I see & read. The user manual of my sonic toothbrush mentions that I should do circular movements + vertical movements (i.e., from the gum towards the tip of the tooth) - but I don't see this guidance in this video. It would be great to have your feedback on this, i.e., is there a need for circular + vertical movements, and if not, why is that? Tbh I'm a bit concerned that the tip of my teeth won't get sufficiently brushed. Thank you!!

This comment section murdered my brain cells, thanks. I was gonna use Ketamine for that but now I don't have to

Thanks I got a sonic care for Christmas I was kind of consufe. again thanks

Thanks!

Great tutorial, and You’re teeth are so big, I love it!! Haha, so cute :D

Nevermind skip to 3:29

Thank you very much!!!

Thank you so much! This is the tutorial I needed it, I just got one and didn’t know how to start.😅 Just an extra question, about toothpaste quantity, how much should I use? I think I’m pretty used to full the brush with it but many recommends a pretty small quantity, like half of the brush.

MD Brush is 45 degrees by design with tapered bristles (only way to get below/above the gum line)

I have veneers 12 years ago and I was told never to whiten my teeth. Can I use this also the one I bought from Costco has whiten in it. It has 3 options

I just got a Sonicare and find the vibration so intense that it's uncomfortable. I'm hoping I get used to the sensation.

This video is informative; however, I have basic questions about toothpaste and water. Do you use water with toothbrush? I did and was drooling like crazy b/c I was brushing with mouth open. I closed my mouth like a regular toothbrush but it seemed to stop vibrating. Not sure what to do. Maybe no water?

Very nice instructional video. Is toothpaste optional? If so.... rinse brush after each quadrant?

Thank You 👍

I tried the Phillips Sonicare and the Braun Oral B, the last one is the better choice for me.

Thanks from an old guy!

Is it dangerous if the hard plastic vibrates on the tooth? I bump my tooth occasionally and worry about it

I’m confused. The 45degrees is AWAY from the gums? As in for the lower teeth the brush is angled up?

That is one thing that I think that is a little questioning. How do you get the sonic are to brush without splattering the bathroom mirror. When I brush my teeth with it I tend to spatter the Merror. How do you avoid that.

I currently have a Phillips Sonicare 6100, which has 3 different cleaning modes, but also has 3 levels of intensity for each. My question is, which level of intensity is considered normal (regular 'clean' mode) when compared to a comparable Sonicare toothbrush without the intensity modes? Reason why I ask is my last Dentist appointment (May 2021, for a cleaning/scaling), I was berated by my Dentist for not brushing my teeth (which I have done 2 times a day faithfully for since I can remember). I usually use the regular 'clean' mode and on intensity #2 (medium). Maybe I am using the wrong settings? But to my Dentist during that visit, he flat out accused me of not brushing

can we have alonger video am stil confused after i bought iot i duno hwo use it but am still trying my best and whats that rubber band on your tooeth brush head? is it to prevent leaking fluids and tooth paste drainign down your toothbrush ?

Hello, Just one question: should we remove the brush from the socle every time (to clean it correctly) or rather just to change the brush every 3 months?

I’m a kid and I have braces can you do another vid on sonic ware how to use it for braces?

Just bought a 5100 I have turned on the pressure sensor but it does nothing to indicate I am pressing to hard any advice? Is it working correctly?

the philips instructions state we should point it 45 degree towards the gumline, not away. any reason why go against this as you demostrated?

I bought one today, haven't opened the box yet. Do you not use water or toothpaste with it?

Whats the 3 buttons on it. ?

So how long do you have on each side back and front, top and bottom? I think you said 30secs but it's that 30secs front and back on each side? Also will the brush alarm me after 30secs? I just got one and I want to make sure I'm doing it correctly.

It’s just throwing me off with the not doing the manual brushing movement. That’s so weird to me! I’d also need to find a breakdown of the “quadrants”.

Mine beeps incessantly and doesn’t vibrate! It’s the 1100, I’m do frustrated

Actually she’s got pretty great teeth lol

please i love you big time from kazakhistan

I've had sonic care for years now. I just purchased my new one and I'm confused. My older one had a quick brush setting for just a once over. Did you quit offering them on the newer brushes?

I've seen a few instruction videos on it and no one is talking about the tongue, the side of the molars facing the cheek or the crowns. That is my dentist telling me to do. I'm a bit confused, since I see the importance in those 3 areas

Hi! Are you supposed to brush the whole of your gums, or just along the gum line?

I’m using the right brushing technique now and my gums hurt 😞

Well, I feel dumb... been doing the brushing motion with mine! My dentist has failed me!!!

I just bought one, 30 seconds is not enough! I feel rushed all the time and not sure that the brush does its job properly because I need to keep moving. All these nice reviews but It seems to me like a downgrade from manual cleaning. Can't wrap my head around.

I don't understand how 2 mins is enough. For me, 30 secs on each side of the front of top and bottom set = 1 min each, and 30 secs on both sides of the inside of top and bottom = 1 minute each making a total of 4 minutes. Can I seriously clean my teeth in 2 minutes as demonstrated?

You forgot to show how to do the inside upper left and right portion . The angle is extremely uncomfortable to get solid placement of the brush in a flat position .

Skip to 2:14

You don't need to brush top surface of teeth?

why is it so loud?

This tutorial is wrong you have to keep it TOWARD the gumline at 45 angle not the other way around!

30seconds on the whole 1/4 of the mouth, like front, back and chewing are all in the 30s? 😀

You have giant teeth

On the bottom front row you're supposed to aim it 45 degrees downward at the gum line, not the idiotic way you were doing it.

For goodness sake stop using phones in portrait mode to do videos. Geeeeez! how many times have you people got to be told. Use landscape mode and I wouldn't trust anyone doing a review if they cannot even do one properly. Either get a proper camera or learn to use a phone camera. I give thumbs down for this.
