Most people are using the electric toothbrush incorrectly. Electric toothbrushes cannot be used like manual toothbrushes. To achieve the best plaque removal make sure you are using the correct technique for the sonicare toothbrush.

Thank you for these instructions. Clear, concise and simple along with how to video during actual use. Better that several other videos I viewed. Well done! Plus, I like the feel of the 30,000-brush strokes per minute. It's like a massage.
You’re very good at giving instructions & demonstrating them clearly. Brava!
I just purchased my 1st Phillips Toothbrush after my hygienist advised me to buy one. Of course my hygienist instructed me how to use it but I was a little confused with the unboxing of my toothbrush. Your instructions were simple and very helpful..... Thank you🥰
You're welcome! I'm so glad my video helped!
I ordered a Sonicare that’s to be delivered tomorrow. I’m looking forward to using it. Thanks for your precise instructions. ❤️❤️
Philip says you should move slightly back and forth.
Very good instructions...thank you !
This was the best video I watched on how to use the sonic care. Thank you!
Thank you!
Actually you're supposed to glide it back and fourth according to philips. But for every other brand yes you're right don't scrup or glide it like a manual toothbrush
Thank you so much! My teeth hurt from using mine that I just started using
Excellent video, helpful and thorough thank you..
Thank you! I'm so happy it was helpful.
Thank you!!! Just purchased this brush and very helpful video!!!!! I would have been doing it all wrong.
Than you, So happy you found it useful 😊
Thank you. This is an excellent video.
I really appreciate your positive feedback! :)
You are adorable! Thank you for the video!
You're welcome 😊
my mouth does not open that way
😂
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣 u made me giggle. Nice video though. Thank u!
😂😂😂
I watched your video a couple of times and every time I get something new. There is a big learning curve to using these electric toothbrushes especially the Sonicare, and I have both. Oral-B and Sonicare... I find the Oral-B gentler and the Sonicare a bit more aggressive....thank you ...
I'm so glad my video helped you!
I just got a Sonicare toothbrush! Gonna give that an attempt tonight while brushing!
That's great! Electric toothbrushes do a great job.
I enjoyed your tutorial I sent it to my boyfriend who is a mouth breather and collects dirt and grime on his front teeth and after brushing with a manual toothbrush his breath is rancid
❤thanks you
Excellent video. thankyou so much ❤
You're welcome and thanks 😊
Thank you.
You're welcome 😊
it's fine to move the brush manually. the 45 degree angle is important and not pressing too hard. you can also get partially between the teeth by moving the brush.
5-6 seconds on each tooth is way too long.
Hello, thank you for your great video! I just bought a Sonicare toothbrush, and it’s quite difficult to get used to it. Indeed, when using the toothbrush with Sonicare App, in order to track my brushing, the app keeps saying that there are areas that aren’t brushed correctly. Even though I followed your instructions carefully ! In fact, the 2 minutes limit is too short, the toothbrush makes me change areas every 15 seconds, I need more time though.
So glad you found my video helpful. I wouldn't worry about the timer, go at your own pace and take as long as you feel comfortable. I agree 2 minutes is short, I usually brush for 3 or 4 minutes. Sonicare takes a bit longer to get used to brushing teeth.
@@happyhealthysmiles7931 Hello, thank you for your answer ! Indeed, with the Sonicare, I am brushing for 3 or 4 minutes, even though it turns off by itself after the 2 minutes limit, I turn it back on. It is way better now !
I just used my sonicare for the first time and a tooth started bleeding. I then watched a few videos on how to use it correctly and I was still confused. Your video is the best one. Thank you for the helpful tips.
When cleaning the lingual side of molars, do you still hold the toothbrush at 90 degrees and brush each tooth individually? Thanks!
Thanks your tips! :-)
My pleasure!
thx for the tutorial.
You're welcome!
So why does the manual say to go back and forth?
Thank you for such thorough instructions on how to use the sonicare. The best so far. I have listened to quite a few. Would you also share if the round brush is better than the smile shaped one.
You're welcome 😊
The round seems to be for people with narrow arches, small mouth, or crowded teeth. Both work well.
Thank you
You're welcome 😊
Thanks for the tutorial! Going through the manual it suggests brushing with small back and forth motions so the bristles reach between the teeth. However, other videos also only indicate that tooth to tooth motion instead. As long as it is not scrubbing, would the additional manual vibrations damage the gums? Or are they not necessary at all?
Good question. Additional manual motion is not necessary, and yes, that may cause unnecessary damage. Let the brush do the work, slowly gliding 2 teeth at a time. 3-4 minutes is required with an electric toothbrush to completely remove plaque.
Best video 💕💕
Thanks 🤗
Super helpful 😊
Thanks
Boujour peut-on brancher une tête de brosse à dents sur un téléphone portable pour se brossé directement avec le téléphone portable ? Merci ++
Very informative
Glad it was helpful!
Really good 😍
Thanks ☺️
I really love your accent.
Thanks ☺️
I bought a sonicare a couple of days ago. I find it really difficult to use since my front teeth are crooked its so hard to put the brushhead on my entire tooth. Sadly i also have gum recession so its a bit terrifiying to let the brushhead close to the gums..
There's a learning curve for using Sonicare Toothbrush. Don't give up, angle it properly, maybe use a small Toothbrush head and make sure it's soft. Take Sonicare to your dental hygienist and ask how to best use it and give you some tips. Please make sure to clean around gumline, it's where most of plaque hides. Or use Sulca Brush around gumline gently to remove plaque.
Use brush on sensitive setting always, to prevent gum recession, and use minimum pressure. Good luck!
Yes, thank you, excellent video - I was using mine like a regular toothbrush 🙄🙈
I'm glad the video helped!
Good job girl !
Thanks 😊
Thank you for this wonderful video! I learned a lot! A quick question, is that a good idea to brush my teeth more than twice a day, e.g. after each meal?
I'm so glad the video was helpful. Yes, brushing after each meal is safe. What is harmful is if you brush aggressively, use incorrect technique, use a hard toothbrush, or use an abrasive toothpaste daily. If you were doing any of these, even just brushing once a day would be harmful. Hope this helps.
@@happyhealthysmiles7931 thank you so much! This is very helpful! Really appreciate it 😊
Maybe my question is funny.:Do we use the gum care brush just on our gum?
Dear Happy Smiles. I just purchased a sonicare toothbrush- a 7700 series. I am having a hard time using it. The brush tickles my gums, especially the front gums. I turned it to 'gum health' mode and can barely tolerate.
Hi C B, it's most likely the vibration that is causing the tickling effect. Try it different settings- try it on clean setting, make sure you are holding the handle by fingertips to prevent strong pressure- however not to light either, make sure to place it at 45-degree angle just where the gums and teeth meet, and also discuss with your dental Hygienist but I think you may need to get used to the new sensation of this brush. Give it a few weeks and see if it improves.
Mine is the small round one that rotates and vibrate 👍
I did a video on how to use the round one few months ago.
@@happyhealthysmiles7931 Oh I will try to find it
The manual that came with the toothbrush says, “brush your teeth with small back-and-forth motion so the bristles reach between the teeth.”
I have seen it on their video. Just use a very slight wiggle motion, not completely going back and forth.
Is your name Phara?
Thank you for making this video. Is there any evidence to suggest that the sonicare toothbrush is better than a regular tooth brush?
Yes, studies show electronic toothbrushes are better. I have seen the difference with clients who use Sonic. The key is to use correct technique and at for 3min at least, also floss daily.
@@happyhealthysmiles7931 I hate flossing, I have sensitive gums and it hurts. Often it makes my gums bleed. What if all I ever do is brush my teeth? But I use the sonic care for 3 minutes minimum. (that's typically what I do)
The thing about flossing is that if you do it often, your gums won't bleed. Everyone who doesn't floss will bleed the first several times but after about a week it shouldn't bleed anymore. One thing my dentist said once that stuck with me was "Healthy gums don't bleed." I also dislike flossing so I switched to a water flosser (Waterpik) which I like better. There's apparently air flossers as well which I haven't done any research on.
@@123457474869 But do they work as well? I was under the impression that the floss contacts the sides of the teeth, at the base, and scrubs them. Water can knock things out of there sure. Things a toothbrush can't get. But can it scrub the base of the teeth?
@@enermaxstephens1051 There's debate about that; it depends on who you ask. I've had people say it's better and others who say it's worse. I personally think it's actually worse because it doesn't get under the teeth but I still do it anyway because regular flossing is just awful.
So I should not actually scrub my gums? I just started using the Sonicare today.
Hi, scrubbing gums seems harsh. You must always be very gentle to avoid causing damage to your gums. Otherwise, it can lead to permanent damage . Plaque comes off very easily. You just need to be careful and slow when brushing and take at least 4 minutes to brush correctly
@@happyhealthysmiles7931 Thank you for taking the time to respond. Have a great day
45 degrees there are two ways
Is it up or down?
I believe you point the brush so it points equally towards the gums and the teeth.
I've been scrubbing like a manual toothbrush while it's turned on.. totally wrong way 😭😔😭😔😭
I don't get what is the benefit of any electric toothbrush over manual. Looks like an overblown gimmick to me. I have sensitive teeth and gums but my mom gifted a sonic one on xmas. Tens of thousands brush strokes sounds and feels too excessive to me. You only need a few efficient strokes to clean a tooth.
Hi F,thank you very much for the info..Happy October!!!YMINOAN
Thanks! Glad you liked the information. And Happy October to you as well!!😊
Doesn't this type of toothbrush just jam what your trying to clean between the gum and your teeth? When I sweep a floor I bring down from the hard wood floor to the vinyl, because if I go the other way, I jam the dirt underneath the reducer. I don't see this being any different, this type of toothbrush move up and down, in a sense your jamming what your trying to clean between the gum and the tooth. Where is the logic in that?
It's not quite the same as up and down movement. The brush is vibrating in very small movement and you're holding brush at a 45°angle where gums and teeth meet. I've used it myself and brush does not force plaque up in the gums if used correctly.
Good enough video, but may I suggest that you actually turn on the brush and act as if you were really brushing for two minutes.
Your angle is maybe 15 degrees
Wow...doing it all wrong and splatter everywhere...thanks.
You're welcome 😊
I made the same mistake lol. Now I know better😂
