If you bought an electric toothbrush, you got scammed.
You know how easy it is to remove plague off your teeth? Literally one stroke of a toothbrush and 90% of the plague is gone.
You pay $120+ for this bullshit and then you buy replacement heads for $20+ every other month.
Classic capitalism. Companies convincing you their expensive product does more than it actually does. The toothbrush industry has basically plateaued, so they have to come up with new ways to syphon your money.

I think you misunderstand why she calls you that 🙂
that's AI isn't it
What OP is saying is true. My dentist also recommended me to use the cheapest, most generic conventional brand toothbrushes I could find, everything else is overpriced, overengineered garbage for morons.
and how much did your dentist charge you for that "advice"
Nothing, it was small talk he made when I visited him for the first time (it was also the first time I went to a dentist) to patch a small cavity I had. He also recommended me to eat less sugary crap and more fiber. Haven't had any major dental issues since.
cause dentists will say that generally. brushing is better than no brushing and you cant expect people to cough $100 for an electric toothbrush and many $ for replacement heads cause they will use that as an excuse for not brushing regularly.
>"expensive"
>40AUD for brush
>5AUD for a head every month or two
Do burgers really?
The worse your teeth are, the more your dentist profits, always keep that in mind when you hear advice from them.
not everyone is an butthole like that
i don't give people advice likely to break their computer when i'm fixing their computer
Ah, the 1/10 dentists. So they really DO exist.
I bought a shitload of third party replacement toothbrush heads off aliexpress and it comes out much cheaper than buying regular toothbrushes from the supermarket
I just shoplifted one. Not only can it only work better than a genetic toothbrush, I like that it has a 4x30secs timer so I know to brush long enough.
Also OP is British.

>subpoena over a fricking toothbrush
think before you post moron
well I'm glad I don't have to smell your rotten facehole
motherfricker i brush my teeth for 3 minutes straight trying to hit every side with it and i can feel them have coarse surface in 24 hours again. for me it takes at the very least 8 strokes of every tooth to make it non-coarse.
I would bet good money most of the incels here don't know what clean teeth feel like.
Good luck properly cleaning the 3rd molar/wisdom teeth without a rotary brush head
*blocks your path*
or you could just have one brush that does it all
the real iq test is knowing they're marketed as legally and discreetly obtainable vibrator. some of them also have design that is spill proof and can theoretically be inserted all the way in.
it's in the same league as "hitachi magic wand neck massager" pic related, I'm sure you know where it's being used, now you know where "electric toothbrush" are being used.
>they're marketed as legally and discreetly obtainable vibrator
You know vibrators aren't illegal right? I can have a vibrator doordash'd from a sex shop to my front door in 20 minutes whenever I want.
Well anon? It's been 20 minutes.
I paid like $8 for one
No shit, they literally give them for free in some stores, usually with a big pack of replacement heads. That's how they rope you into their scam.
I haven't changed the head on mine in a year its fine. Also its $7 for 6 new replacement heads
Dude. There are morons in here to whom $7 is a literal fortune. They've failed at life so hard, that $7 is a large expenditure.
You just reminded me to upgrade my brush head. Poorgays need not apply.
This. It's insane how smooth my teeth feel ever since I started using a Sonicare brush.
actually they are really good, cope.
Philips Sonicare is a scam Oral-B is the only one that actually works
They're all a scam, wake up consoomer.
>ITT my teeth are rotting but it's your fault not mine
OP is a schizo that posts this bait vomit every couple months. i think he got sodomized by a sonicare or something. i can't imagine why someone would be so assmad over them.
oh okay guess I'll filter it for now on thanks
You'd have to be a total NEET loser to actually care about other people buying an appliance that costs like $40
>You pay $120+ for this bullshit
My electric toothbrush was $20 and came with 8 replacement heads (which cost $4/8ct separately).
You're a moron.
>buy picture related and the teeth cleaning kit
>do my own dental
>teeth come out white
No more visits to the dentist.
does that have something to mechanically scrape plaque off the teeth? no matter how good my brushing habits are, there's always some that forms around the gums
That kit is far better at removing plaque than manual brushing. It uses the same stuff the dentist uses (aside from the water pik that some dentist use). It works. However, I would suggest removing plaque, esp the thick stuff, first with either one of those metal teeth picks or buy the water version. Plaque comes off when enough pressure is applied to it, which is why dentists use it to begin with.
Dentistry is not rocket science. If a black woman can be a dentist, I can.
>It uses the same stuff the dentist uses (aside from the water pik that some dentist use).
That's bullshit. There's no way that thing in your image is an ultrasonic scaler.
My teeth are in a pretty fricking shit condition, but I've never had plague on my teeth.
>have constantly inflamed gums
>switch to electric
>bleeding gone after 3 days
Thanks for your opinion.
This. My dental health improved dramatically after switching to an electric toothbrush
ye
my dentist said that they are the same as manual toothbrushes if you're not lazy.
as a certified lazy frick i got one, less plaque and i can finally brush my wisdom tooth pretty easy
Why would i gonna stand there giving my toothbrush a blowjob for 5 minutes if electric toothbrush can do it for me i just have to hold it.
op confirmed incel
um the fact that you just came from there doesnt make you look any better to op
the real king of the jungle
Electric toothbrushes are fine, but water picks are where I draw the line of uselessness
But brushing without pic related is semi-moronic. The waterpik has effectively obsoleted flossing. The AIO in
is the current champ for maximum dental health.
yeah...i'm all for an electric toothbrush, it's miles above mechanical ones, but i too fail to see the necessity of water flossing vs. mechanical flossing. plus it's really bulky and takes up too much counter space imo
get a bigger bathroom, poorgay
not poor at all, i just live below my means and i don't care enough to move. the only rentals around me are all apartments and i hate apartment living. plus my landlord is great and hasn't raised rent on me in 4 years.
You live in a condo?
pointless. just install a high pressure hand shower and you already have something better than a waterpik and it's less tedious too. for the really tough jobs you still need some sort of string flosser either ways.
It works amazing for the front 80% of teeth it can reach since it actually has high flow and pressure (compared to a waterpik at least). Same principle as why cleaning a dog outside using the hose is better and faster than using a shitty <3GPM hand shower at home.
>Install a "high pressure" handheld shower head to fight off plaque
At its highest setting the waterpik wand puts out like 100psi - damn near enough to cut your tongue.
>100psi - damn near enough to cut your tongue
lmao you're fricking moronic Normal shower heads are already in the ~50 psi range. Get a high pressure head and remove the restrictor and you're well above 100. And no, 100 PSI isn't going to cut your fricking tongue you middle school dropout.
>local man installs and modifies a shower head to clean his teeth
truly hope this is bait, IQfy
Didn't even know this existed. Thanks, anon.
I just use this, although different version. No brushing teeth. Pressure gets high enough to blast plaque away sometimes, though it doesn't get all of it -- sometimes I can scrape it off with my fingernail and previously I would use a small metal thing like a paperclip but I suspect that can scratch the teeth. Also I'm unhygienic and used to not brush my teeth for weeks. This i do every couple days, it feels nice and is convenient. No problems yet.
Also kinda unrelated but my ear got clogged, used some ear drops for some days but it didn't improve, stuck this guy in my ear on the lowest setting and heaps of earwax came out.
mine cost like 40 bucks with 8 replacement heads for like 10 bucks or something, the frick kinda toothbrush are you buying that's 100 bucks?
it also has a little warning light for when you put too much pressure, do people really brush their teeth that aggressively? It takes an insane amount of pressure to have the light toggle on
There are a lot of stupid people out there.
How fricking poor are you that this is even a thought in your mind
Oh no, not a $30 electric toothbrush that needs $10 of replacement heads every 3 months! You could spend less and get 90% of the performance! Oy vey!
Do you also b***h about any car with more than 90hp? OY VEY THE SPEED LIMIT IS ONLY 60 THINK OF THE GAS MILEAGE AND THE INSURANCE AND...
Your bullshit makes me want to buy a more expensive toothbrush for the sole, single purpose of reminding you that I have so much money I do not give a single shit if I light it on fire, but lighting it on fire isn't good enough for me because that will only remind you of how fricking poor you are once. No, I want an everlasting testament to the fact that I am better than you.
Tech board. Tech jobs. If you don't make at least $100k a year and post here you are fricking moronic. You rpobably don't even program, you just rant about GNU shit, whine about wayland, or cry about how linux was not ideal for your specific use case and tell everyone else to quit using it over that.
>Do you also b***h about any car with more than 90hp?
Yes
>I am WEALTHY and BETTER THAN YOU because I can afford a TOOTHBRUSH
Calm down pajeet, nobody is threatening your $5k in savings.
>why are people sperging out?
>g
whatever,
smart rich people learn to live below their means and not waste money.
Smarter rich people know that they can "waste" a certain amount of money and either stay rich or continue to build wealth. You'd think a poorgay would understand the concept of budgeting beyond "max cash hoarding spend as little money on everything as possible".
Poors say "guys jeff bezos drives a honda" but neglect to notice his sportscar collection.
Sour grapes.
i dont think poorgays comprehend wealth. the numbers are too big so they can't even speculate about the math. they're poor for a reason yknow.
>rich: i have $40,000 in disposable income this month. i think i'll treat myself to a nice gibson les paul.
>poor: you spent $2500 on a guitar? THATS HOW THE POOR STAY POOR!
Unintelligent people can't into theory of mind and apply their own worldview to everyone else + unintelligent people are more likely to be poor.
Also, "Value" is something that a lot of people dont understand.
I stopped mowing my own grass. A new riding mower is 5-7k. I could pay to have my grass mowed for 5+ years before I broke even with the cost of the mower. Plus, I dont have to spend the time and energy on mowing or maintence etc. For me, there is more "value" in paying someone to mow, than doing it myself.
You know someone is rich when they don't even think about a push mower.
now, who should I trust, my dentist or some looser on an anonymous imageboard... hmm, let me think... a tough decision...
Let me guess, your dentist recommended a specific model/brand as well? lmao
> your dentist recommended a specific model/brand as well?
p-philips... w-why?
Sorry bud, bud I am afraid your dentist is not human. Were there any Philips trucks around his office?
They have deals, just like doctors that prescribe meds from specific drug companies only.
Yes anon, use a Philips™ Max Bright® with Colgate™ Clear White® for better protection.
My hygenist admitted as much, but not in the spergy way you did.
She basically said auto toothbrushes are for speed and convenience, and I didn't want to rewove even a little more exercise from my daily routines.
This is a regular "normie" dental office, some "alternative" practices don't use fluoride.
If brushing your teeth qualifies as exercise for you, you have way bigger problems than dental health.
"Automation" has reduced a lot of physical activity people have normally done. This is just one more straw.
Having sex once would get you more exercise than a lifetime of brushing your teeth. Maybe try that for health.
Holy projection sperglord, all over a toothbrush!
how do you guys know so fricking much about dental hygiene
We don't. We're all just making it up on the fly based on our own personal preferences.
most people have teeth
So far ITT:
>I bought the replacement heads
>It tells me how long to brush
>I can't clean specific teeth without the rotation
>MY electric toothbrush was cheaper
>it fixes my gums bleeding
>it tells me how much pressure to apply
All of this song and dance that could be avoided by making a conscious decision to take care of things yourself and not let some image of ~~*dental authority*~~ (branding and advertising) land a hook in your mental space. You actually committed unnecessary time, money, and mental faculty to this dumbshit scam.
It's much much simpler than all this israeliteery.
Use mouthwash.
Use an ORDINARY toothbrush to remove anything that shouldn't be there. Thoroughly clean teeth and gums and tongue and roof of mouth.
Rinse and go on with your life like a normal human being.
If you can't figure that out, you just suck at completing a simple task. A machine will not fix your moronation.
>bro it's so simple
>[14 line post describing how you can replace electronic brushing with manual brushing plus an extra step of mouthwash]
>no indication that this is actually better at all
You could avoid all of this song and dance by killing yourself.
>two posters assuming I use mouthwash IN ADDITION TO toothpaste
Your brain on advertising.
>Use mouthwash.
>Use an ORDINARY toothbrush
Ordinary mouthwash, in fact. If you merely used water you'd not get anything clean, although baking soda could be an option. The stuff I use is literally just a gum compound, alcohol, and flavoring.
>Use mouthwash
HAHAHAHAHA
While electric toothbrush is moronic, in the end it still works and still remains a toothbrush. It can clean off plaque that normal brush can't if you are a binge coffee drinker. So, basically, a tool for morons with no free will that keep ruining their health and need something to counter their shitty addictions.
And then, talking about israeliteery, you manage to fall to the biggest scam ever - a mouthwash. That does literally nothing to your mouth.
You apply mouthwash, killing all the useful bacteria in your mouth and leaving a deserted place for harmful bacteria from outside to get trapped there and keep growing. Killing everything that is there to rebuild your enamel.
Moreover, you give an advice to rinse after brushing. Removing all the fluoride from your mouth that is there to prevent teeth decay. So neutering any effect of your toothpaste and only removing the plaque, and that is only if you brushed for long enough.
If you buy ANY toothpaste that is not produced by israelites it will be written black on white:
>DO NOT RINSE
for at least 30 minutes before drinking and eating.
Bravo, my IQfyentooman, as someone who actually visits a dentist I have to say I'm impressed.
I gave up mouthwash ~6 months ago, used it daily since childhood. My oral health has noticeably improved. I was even using the fancy shit, pic related
just wash your clothes by hands bro washing machine is a scam
This shit costs <10€, has no meme features, works with the same replacement heads as the most expensive stuff, works with chink heads as well, has a replaceable battery (so you don't have to buy new shit every 2 years).
Buy this together with a 30 seconds hourglass and you have everything you need if you want to use an electric toothbrush.
>"but then I'd have to use it EVERY DAY, and that's exhausting!"
You do know who you're talking to, right? This is not a group of normal, healthy people who maintain their hygeine.
>has a replaceable battery (so you don't have to buy new shit every 2 years).
I'm so glad this marvel has freed me from the burden of spending <10€ every two years
It's more climate friendly and shit. Also the toothbrushes with non-replaceable batteries cost 30€ and more here.
>It's more climate friendly and shit
Nothing says "climate friendly" like disposable alkaline batteries
>he doesn't use Eneloops/LADDAs
I'm recharging my IKEA Enloop batteries, you idiot.
>stop drinking coffee and tea
>stop eating junk food
>if you do, rinse with water right after
>apply some baking soda to your toothpaste to clean off plaque left
>get floss
>brush teeth for 2 minutes with literally any brush 2 times a day
>clean teeth
>no cavities
>no dental stones
wow that was hard. I wonder how our ancestors survived with this having no wonders of Chinese technology that rotates the brush for you. But then I read the thread and realize some people are unable to even hold toothpick properly without injuring themselves.
See
>If you buy ANY toothpaste that is not produced by
Is that even possible? I've never seen anything other than brand-name toothpaste at the store.
brushing your teeth at all is the real iq test. Plaque is GOOD. It covers the gaps between your teeth and HARDENS which make your teeth stronger. It can also act as a lubricant which can prevent tooth chipping.
Seriously imagine DRYING out your mouth with fluoride and other toxic chemicals. Also, why would you want HARD teeth? HARD = easier to chip. Why harden your teeth with these chemicals?
found the fellow British citizen
sensodyne is a top tier toothpaste (the novamin bioglass one, not available in US because of israeli reasons but you can order abroad) and it recommends to not rinse.
I have a Xiaomi oclean pro X. Touch screen and connects to my phone. 50 bucks. It's a direct clone of the diamondcare.
Shithead mods delete a perfectly good threat about developiong film at home, but a toothbrush thread is allowed.

modern dentistry is technology
I paid $10 for an AA battery powered brush and it's like I have new teeth.
It's basically like brushing with perfect circle-motion technique for ten minutes, except you're just holding a brush to your teeth for two minutes.
Dentistry - in and of itself - is one of the biggest scams in modern times.
They rarely replace the tools they shove into your mouth to save costs. Dental school + starting your own private practice (something almost all dentists do) costs hundreds of thousands of dollars. Tooth decay has decreased significantly compared to previous decades.
So in order to make money, they constantly push expensive and unnecessary procedures. Dentistry is so unregulated (thanks to all the individual businesses) that it's virtually impossible for to get their license revoked unless to you complain to the board.
Dentistry is also clouded with bullshit.
>Does taking out wisdom teeth before it's a problem help?
>Is it better to fill a root canal with a crown or filling?
>Does flossing actually help remove plaque?
No one actually fricking knows because none of these procedures have been empirically tested.
Dentists aren't even real doctors. They're just the modern version of medieval barber surgeons. They spend 4-5 years learning how to call each teeth by a number, get a license, and then they can start scraping your gums and blaming you when they bleed.
Brush your teeth, floss, and you'll be fine. I go once a year to confirm everything's fine and then leave it at that.
is the one in OP's pic good? Its only $50.
Anyone else here with crippling fear of going to dentist? Last time I finally gave in after finding it difficult to chew, it was seven years since my last checkup. That was followed by several hours in chair over the next few weeks, since half of my lower jaw was in such bad state. One teeth had to go, some that needed root canals, and one tooth is mostly filling. Had some issues with roots pushing too high up and my teeth don't have enough enamel, that comboed to dry as frick mouth apparently made it plenty easy for bacteria to go to the roots of the teeth. Make sure to get checked up regularily anon, all of that could've been prevented.
I don't have any fear of it, but it seems like a waste of time and a gamble every time I go. The last time I went, my regular dentist was booked several months out, so I found a different one nearby. Went in for a routine preventative cleaning, gave them my insurance, talked with the receptionist to make sure they accepted my insurance and it would fully cover the cleaning as is typical of pretty much all insurance and dentistry practice. Assured me it was all good to go. Got the cleaning - nothing interesting - and left. Two weeks later they sent me a bill for several hundred dollars. Talked with my insurance and they said they already paid out, but the dentist insisted that I still had to pay the bill they sent me because they didn't feel like my insurance paid them enough (they paid them the same amount as they always paid my previous dentist). Threatened to send it to collections pretty much immediately after I started talking to them about it.
Frick dentists. If you take horrible care of your teeth and drink tons of soda, fine. You probably don't have a choice and need tons of dental care. But if my teeth are fine and healthy, I'd much rather just not go and not have to deal with those buttholes.
Electric toothbrushes are 8 fricking dollars, what are you smoking?
My dental hygienist thot said my teeth were cleaner since I started using an electric toothbrush so I don't care.
They don't even exist where I live.
Do you live on mars?
Poland, literally never seen one on a super market or heard of anyone that owned one. But they seem to exist online, so it's probably just that no one buys them.
>then you buy replacement heads for $20+ every other month.
No you don't. You clearly are a dirt ball who doesn't known how to clean and keep their areas clean or you're extremely low IQ
This are for gays that fell for the Juicero and similar scams
>You know how easy it is to remove plague off your teeth? Literally one stroke of a toothbrush and 90% of the plague is gone.
Lol, no. If it was that easy there would be no reason to ever see a dentist for a cleaning. The main point of these brushes is to take advantage of the agitate in toothpaste to polish your teeth. I've noticed my own teeth got whiter after I started using one.
>You pay $120+ for this bullshit and then you buy replacement heads for $20+ every other month.
The brush is expensive for sure. However if you only charge it when it needs it and not after every brush, it should last you a decade or more. As for brush heads, I buy one every couple years. They also last a long time.
I disagree. The built in timer forces you to do a good job.
Has someone ever made a list of genuine goods and services that are not scams? I'm sure there is actual crap that is good.
electric toothbrushes are like $30 you moronic consoomer
>electric toothbrushes are like $30 you moronic consoomer
I always get the newest for free because a family member works at the dentist
>You know how easy it is to remove plague off your teeth? Literally one stroke of a toothbrush and 90% of the plague is gone.
I don't know but my mouth and teeth feel cleaner with an electric brush when I hover over my teeth with my tongue.
Maybe it is a placebo but you know what? I don't care because it's a nice feeling
I use this and toms toothpaste no fluoride, chad here. AMA.
How many cavities have you had?

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7175112/
>Nevertheless, published data indicate that ultrasonic, as well as electric toothbrushes, maintain better oral hygiene than manual counterparts. By direct comparison of different toothbrushing systems, most clinical trials show that the sonic/ultrasonic toothbrushes perform better than purely non-acoustic powered brushes. Sonic/ultrasonic toothbrushes may have the potential to reduce more dental biofilm by stimulating more hydrodynamic effects and also by forcing more efficient brushing motions.
Oops
what did they mean by that?
