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

You are right! 30 seconds is not enough for your whole mouth. You brush for 30 seconds in each section. If you brush in 4 seconds, then you brush your mouth for 2 minutes. If you brush in 6 sections, then you brush for 3 minutes. For the 4 sections, it would be: 1. Upper right teeth 2. Upper left teeth 3. Lower right teeth and 4. Lower left teeth. For the 6 sections it would be: 1. Upper right back teeth 2. Upper left back teeth 3. Lower right back teeth 4. Lower left back teeth. 5. Top front teeth and 6. Bottom front teeth. Does that help?

I used an ultra-soft manual brush before that and I could clean my back teeth as long as I liked so they felt clean.

@@maubl8165 I see, if it's including the roof and tongue then i guess 6-8 mins is perfectly alright. Actually, "fresh" plaque (esp if you brush 3X a day) isn't terribly difficult to get rid off with these efficient tools, 3 mins is more than enough. The idea is not to miss spots actually, and that means technique. Both Oral B (oscillation and pulsation) and sonic (strokes) benefit with trying to wrap the brush around each tooth's curved surface, ie get as deep into the interproximal gaps as possible. But if you use interdental brushes or water floss as well, that's probably not as important, relatively speaking.

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?
@mygingercat20023 жыл бұрын
Two minute is the minimum recommended duration, it might take longer for some people based on the length of their teeth and how they are arranged in their mouth. Hence, 4 minutes is fine as long as you use proper technique and don’t use too much force as you brush. For example, it takes me about 3 minutes to properly brush my whole mouth.

@@tornado2078 Bass trombone. I have some good bass friends, very cool instrument. Actually just finished bass in methods class, super fun instrument.
I harmonize with mine. 😂
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

It is hard to tell without seeing your teeth. It is doubtful that it would be due to just a different cleaning mode. Bring your Sonicare to the dental office and ask your dentist or hygienists to show you how to reach the areas they feel you are missing.
Thank You 👍

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.
Get rid of your mirror.
I tried the Phillips Sonicare and the Braun Oral B, the last one is the better choice for me.
Both are great.
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?
Here is what Sonicare has on their website: www.philips.com.au/c-f/XC000006631/how-do-i-clean-my-sonicare-toothbrush
Thanks from an old guy!
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”.
I bought one today, haven't opened the box yet. Do you not use water or toothpaste with it?
you do
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.
Just try to spend 5 seconds per tooth, front right side, then front left side, back right, back left, then bottom teeth same way. That will take about 2 minutes and you're good.
@@curtisheddins5878 Thanks
30 seconds for 1/4 of your mouth, which includes the outside, inside and tops. You can also just keep brushing all your teeth until the toothbrush turns off (2 or 3 minutes, depending on the setting). My Sonicare does not make 30 second indicators.
I’m a kid and I have braces can you do another vid on sonic ware how to use it for braces?
The same technique with and without braces.
This comment section murdered my brain cells, thanks. I was gonna use Ketamine for that but now I don't have to
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?
It depends on the model you choose. I was looking at these last Saturday and there were models with and without quick mode.
why is it so loud?
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
She shows how to brush the sides of the molars facing the cheek at 3:40. Point toward the gums at a 45 degree angle. I am not aware of any studies that show a superior technique for brushing your tongue.
@@murmanndentalhealth2917 I'm talking about the far back of the tooth. And I just meant she should mention the tongue since it holds a lot of bacteria also. 🙂
please i love you big time from kazakhistan
🤣
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.
You are right! 30 seconds is not enough for your whole mouth. You brush for 30 seconds in each section. If you brush in 4 seconds, then you brush your mouth for 2 minutes. If you brush in 6 sections, then you brush for 3 minutes. For the 4 sections, it would be: 1. Upper right teeth 2. Upper left teeth 3. Lower right teeth and 4. Lower left teeth. For the 6 sections it would be: 1. Upper right back teeth 2. Upper left back teeth 3. Lower right back teeth 4. Lower left back teeth. 5. Top front teeth and 6. Bottom front teeth. Does that help?
@@denisemurmann2311 Sorry, I meant 30 seconds for a quadrant just like Philips recommends. 8 teeth, 3 surfaces, 30/(8*3) ≈ 1 second per surface? Sure toothbrush heads are wider so it probably would take 2-3 seconds per surface, but still. I used an ultra-soft manual brush before that and I could clean my back teeth as long as I liked so they felt clean. I'm starting to think that is it not the toothbrush that is wrong but I need to consulate my dentist why I feel the need to clean my teeth longer especially after eating. Thanks for the reply.
@@maubl8165 So it is not just me :) Currently I use my manual ultra-soft Colgate Silk Threads quickly (I guess it is called Slimsoft in US/UK). Then Philips Sonicare for 2 minutes. + 1 minute with low intensity for the gums (my Sonicare ProtectiveClean has only 1 mode but 2 intensities). That way, I enjoy the process.
@@maubl8165 8 mins is a bit too excessive, even with an extra bristle one like the Oral B ultrathin and ultrasoft brush head, i think 8 mins x 2 daily is excessive. Not only erosion risk to the enamel but also risk to the gums regarding receding gumline. I think keep it to 3 mins is fine, 4 mins max. At around 1/3rd the pressure it takes to activate/light up the pressure sensor depending on whether you are on Sonicare or Oral B.
@@maubl8165 I see, if it's including the roof and tongue then i guess 6-8 mins is perfectly alright. Actually, "fresh" plaque (esp if you brush 3X a day) isn't terribly difficult to get rid off with these efficient tools, 3 mins is more than enough. The idea is not to miss spots actually, and that means technique. Both Oral B (oscillation and pulsation) and sonic (strokes) benefit with trying to wrap the brush around each tooth's curved surface, ie get as deep into the interproximal gaps as possible. But if you use interdental brushes or water floss as well, that's probably not as important, relatively speaking.
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?
Two minute is the minimum recommended duration, it might take longer for some people based on the length of their teeth and how they are arranged in their mouth. Hence, 4 minutes is fine as long as you use proper technique and don’t use too much force as you brush. For example, it takes me about 3 minutes to properly brush my whole mouth.
Most Americans brush on average only 45 seconds. We are thrilled when people at least brush for 2 minutes. Personally, I brush for 3 minutes.
Hi! Are you supposed to brush the whole of your gums, or just along the gum line?
Just along the gum line, but you can brush the gums gently, as high as you want.
Actually she’s got pretty great teeth lol
You don't need to brush top surface of teeth?
Yes, you do.
@@murmanndentalhealth2917 but if you do that then there's not enough time spent on the sides and the app will complain about that.
I’m using the right brushing technique now and my gums hurt 😞
Hold the brush with 3 fingers only, to make sure you are not using too much force. Try extra soft brush heads and sensitive toothpaste.
Well, I feel dumb... been doing the brushing motion with mine! My dentist has failed me!!!
Don't feel dumb! To keep increasing in knowledge is a sign of wisdom. =)
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 .
It is the same concept. Hold the brush at a 45 degree angle, making sure to gently reach your gums.
Skip to 2:14
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? 😀
Yes, and that will have you brush your whole mouth in 2 minutes. You can also use 30 seconds on 1/6 of the mouth, that will then total 3 minutes.
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.
Doesn't really matter, it vibrates
spacetime Not nice
COME AT ME BRO
Lol 😂
spacetime if you do that then you get toothpaste all over the merror.
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.
TRIGGERED!!! 😠
