How to Whiten Teeth with Electric Toothbrushes

Video Transcript

I think the electric toothbrush by Braun or by Sonicare are very good products, but the usage of them you have to be very careful because a lot of times damage can occur because of miss-usage because especially with Sonicare. So Sonicare toothbrush you can't just go scrubbing like that with it. You kind of have to place it on the area that you want to get clean and the placement has to be passive too. It can not be heavy. If you do it heavy pressure it will cause irritation and it will eat away the enamel and the gum. And the same thing with the Braun toothbrush. The Braun toothbrush kind of oscillates back and forth and you kind of have to do the same thing a little bit like Sonicare. If you follow those procedures then the electric toothbrushes are a very good product and they work very, very well. You've got to be careful and you don't scrub them or use them like a traditional toothbrush. The electric toothbrush you have to be able to place on the surface, the enamel surface area that needs to be cleaned. When you do that, you place light, light pressure, not heavy, heavy pressure. And a lot of times we're so used to putting heavy pressure so we can scrub them so we can get that sensation of being clean, but what you're actually doing is we're damaging the foundation of that tooth, the gum and the bone around it. And so in the brushing, we usually brush with 20 seconds or a minute. We should lengthen that time between two minutes and five minutes. A lot of times what I do is just put a little bit of toothpaste on my Braun Oral B toothbrush and I just sit back on the couch and just watch the news, the TV and I just let the brush do its work going all the way around. And then boom, it's five minutes. And after five minutes you're done. And that sensation, that traditional sensation that we used to feel after will be there as you keep doing this over and over and over again. And it does feel clean and it will clean very well.
