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.

Edit: Figured out why the cleaning is better. Unlike sonicare, suri only has 4 phases so when it turns off I turn it back on for another 2 phases for 3 minutes instead of 2 minutes. So the results are likely possible with any electric brush with 50% more brushing time.

    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.

    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!
