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.
Is this advertising
… Maybe…? Just thought I’d share oral health improvements and my path to it.
My Sonicare is long in the tooth (heh), I should check out what a Suri is.
It’s about the same price. My wife just ordered one to replace her Sonicare this morning. We ordered the Suri from Amazon.
I think I came across Suri while looking into what I can do with the old Sonicare brush heads (Philips will take them back in the UK but not the US, and Terracycle charges a small fortune). Once my Sonicare goes I’ll try Suri. $12 for a Suri brush head is pretty pricey but not outrageously more expensive than Sonicare, and I can feel better about what happens to it when it wears out. And if it leads to better dental visits it’s money well spent.
That’s my thoughts too. Plus this is purely an anecdote but I feel like I replace the heads half as often. But that could just be halo and horns effect.
Nice! I wrecked my teeth with neglect in my 20’s, 4 crowns later I decided to take things seriously and bought a Sonicare. 20+ years of Sonicare later I haven’t had a single cavity. They work. Haven’t heard of Suri but I’ll check it out when the Sonicare dies to see if it’s a step up.
Keep smilin!
Wow, that’s a pricey toothbrush in the inductive charge 2.0 version. I was reading up that the 1.0 has charging issues because they put the contacts where they get wet. I like that the brushes aren’t some plastic.
I’ve been looking for a sonic because the rotary one I have feels like it’s rattling my teeth out.
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).
Nice teeth, bro.
🤣🤣🤣
Any rhyme or reason behind the non-alcoholic mouth wash?
It’s supposed to be better for us. Alcohol supposedly dries out our mouth which is bad for our gums. I like it better now that I’m used to it.
