#best sonicare electric toothbrush

[copperbadge]

A while back, I remember you talking about a toothbrush that was so good you almost didn't need to floss? Do you remember what toothbrush it was? Thank you!

Oh sure! Although you may be slightly misremembering, I've definitely posted about that.

For context, as with many people with ADHD I have trouble managing dental hygiene, and while I usually manage to brush twice a day, flossing is beyond me. Especially because I also have unusually sensitive gums -- I've had dentists in the past who were like "Yeah, I can see why you don't floss." There are some people for whom the whole "if you floss regularly it'll toughen your gums" thing simply isn't true. (It's...possible that's true for everyone, there have been very few actual studies with good data on the efficacy and impact of flossing.)

My current dentist recommended that if I wasn't going to floss, I should get an electric toothbrush -- she said any electric toothbrush is at least better than only manual brushing without flossing, but the Phillips Sonicare is the one she recommended. She said that using the Sonicare, as long as you use it for at least two minutes solid and make sure you hit your gumlines, was almost as good as flossing.

I think it's a great indication of how people who struggle with certain tasks and also the medical professionals treating them can sometimes focus so hard on what you ought to be doing that they miss what you are capable of doing -- sure it would probably actually be best if I flossed, but since that's not really on the table, my dentist and I chose to seek almost-as-good alternatives rather than just go back into the cycle of "I don't floss and you scold me for it" which dominated the first 35 years or so of my life. It's one of those perfect is the enemy of good things, where your options seem to be "success or failure" but are actually "success, moderate improvement, or failure".

Now What Do We Use (Dream x GeorgeNotFound x Sapnap)

Word count: 4819

((This is from my series Glass House!! Next part is Now Let Me Explain.))

Warning: Restraints and intense tickles! Safeword use. Feet tickling. Tickle tools.

Dream cursed under his breath. He had snooped again. It was an accident like last time, but he still felt a little bad. He stared at the tab he had just clicked out of and analyzed the scenario he was in.

What were the chances George had left this open on his computer specifically for him to find? Pretty high, he decided. He clicked back onto the tab and scanned the contents, forgetting entirely what he had even needed the other boy’s computer for.

It was George’s Amazon wishlist. Dream’s eyes scanned the items. They were…a strange mix of items. At first glance he had assumed a few of them were things George would want to be tickled with, but he huffed in amusement when he realized it was every single thing.

With a few clicks, he shared the wishlist to his own account. He headed back to his own room and sent a quick text to summon Sapnap.

On his own phone, he pulled up the wishlist and moved the entire thing into his shopping cart. He whistled at the total.

“Bougie bitch…”, he whispered.

“What’s up?”, Sapnap asked from the doorway. Dream grinned and waved him over, tossing him his phone when he got close.

“Gogy let me use his computer but accidentally left open a tab with his Amazon wishlist on it.”, he used air quotes for ‘accidentally’ to make Sapnap grin as he joined him on the bed.

“He’s rich, he can just buy th-whoa! This is almost a thousand dollars with shipping Dream!”, Sapnap laughed and leaned against him as he scrolled through the cart. “Baby oil?”.

“Pretty sure it makes you more ticklish.”.

“What about the hairbrush?”.

“I think for his feet.”, Dream said as he made a scrubbing motion. “Same as the scalp massager thing.”. Sapnap cringed with his entire body at the thought.

“Holy shit.”, he muttered. The idea of either tools being pressed to his own sensitive soles made him shake his head. “George is crazy.”. Dream laughed and nudged him.

“Imagine how he would react if we did it to him.”.

“He’d be so loud.”, Sapnap grinned. “Buy it.”.

“Huh? We can split it.”.

“Buy. It.”, Sapnap shoved him.

“Fine fine.”.

~•~

Two day delivery.

In the meantime, Dream and Sapnap brushed up on their knowledge for a few of the tools they were confused about. Where exactly to put the baby oil. Places they could use the scalp massager. Where the vibrating toothbrushes would work best.

After a loose strategy meeting on a lazy afternoon, they ambushed George.

“What are you doing?!”, he yelled as he fought against the two of them. As always, his strength was nothing compared to them. He shrieked in fear as one of his wrists was captured in a cuff and attached to the top corner of his bed. Instantly, he broke into giggles. “No no please no!”, he begged.

Of course, it fell on deaf ears. In no time, the boy was writhing helplessly in his restraints. In a t-shirt and shorts, but feeling naked. He scrunched his, newly freed, toes in the open air.

“Hush now. We gotcha.”, Sapnap said. George was wracked with nervous giggling as Dream left the room.

“Is it just us?”, he asked in a delirious haze.

“No, idiot. He’s getting your gifts.”.

“Gifts?”.

Dream came back with a big Amazon box. George’s giggles faded away into silence.

“Does that look mean you know what’s in here?”.

“No way.”, he whispered. His cheeks flamed and he squirmed helplessly in their gazes.

“Oh yes, Georgie. We found your Amazon wishlist.”. George was stunned into silence.

~•~

Dream waved the massage gun in the air. George shuddered in his restraints. He had never actually felt the tickle of a massage gun before, but it looked brutal in the videos he saw online.

“Alright so…I think it will work here.”, Dream said as he grabbed George’s knee and pressed the head of the gun into the sensitive muscle of his inner thigh. The boy whimpered. Dream grinned and switched it on.

George’s vision nearly blacked as every nerve in his leg was lit up with an intense pulse of ticklish electricity. The spot the head was pressed into pulsed quickly and his entire leg shook with the force. A stunted yelp slipped from his lips, but his lungs weren’t able to keep up with the force of laughter trying to break out. Nothing had ever tickled this badly. He convulsed silently, completely mindless to the feeling. And then…it stopped.

“Oh, it died?”, Dream asked as he pulled back the gun. George burst into hysterical cackles, the feeling in his leg still making him buzz. Sapnap chuckled and creeped closer to the head of the bed.

“No no!! No way! Fuck! You can’t do that again!! No! That was crazy!! Oh god! Guys, seriously!!”, he blubbered through his laughter. There was no fucking way he would survive that evil thing touching him again.

“Huh? No way! George, this thing was so expensive and you wanted it!”. The boy squeaked in embarrassment, unable to calm down at all.

“Return it!!”. The two laughed at the dramatics. George dropped his head back against the pillow and let the dizzy giggles bubble out of him. Dream plugged the massage gun into the wall and left it charging on the bedside table.

“We’ll have to come back to that later.”. George whined through his giggles.

“Please, I really can’t handle that. You have to listen to me.”, he had a cute little tinge of delirium to his voice.

Sapnap leaned over the side of the bed and popped back up with two long feathers.

“Should we start out soft then?”.

~•~

Soft might have sounded nice, but George truly thought he was going to die. With one delicate feather being flossed through his toes and the other teasing under his shirt sleeve into his armpit, he was shaking with desperate laughter. His nerves sparked under the teasing touch and he squirmed as wildly as he could. It was no use.

“Please please oh god please!”, he babbled through his laughter.

“But Georgie, it’s so soft!”.

He squealed loudly as Sapnap teased it against his ear, flushing in embarrassment at his own reaction.

“Oh, that’s right!! Your ears!!”. Sapnap put his palm on George’s forehead and pressed his head back into the pillow. “Here we go!”. George let out a wail of anguish, then collapsed into high pitched laughter. Dream grinned as he came to a stop and started crawling up George’s body to get a better look.

“Please!!”, he cried. He was shaking at the gentle torture.

“So cute…”, Dream coo’ed. The feather traced around and around the inside of his red ear. He bucked and squeaked, burning with humiliation.

“Fuck you!!”. He tried to shake his head, but it was impossible with Sapnap’s stupid hand clapped over his forehead.

“Oh, Georgie…”, Dream tsked and teased his own feather along the creases of the squirmy boy's neck. He squealed loudly, making the other two giggle. “Wow, your fancy expensive feathers were worth it huh?”.

“Shut…up!!”, he managed through his bubbly laughter.

George’s forehead was released and he jerked his head up, then dropped it back to the pillow with delirious giggles, rubbing his ear against it. The feather was waved teasingly in the air over his clothed chest and tummy before Dream tugged up his shirt to reveal it. He whimpered.

Normally, he was tortured with a rough touch. Mean squeezes and grabs to make him scream. The idea of a feather against his skin had never really scared him, but was interesting enough for him to look at online. He’d never bought it though. He figured it wouldn’t actually do much.

Now…well what the fuck was he thinking? Since the moment one of those dumb feathers traced his skin he hadn’t stopped jumping or shaking for one second. It was a sharp feeling. His sensitive nerves prickled underneath it and he could feel his senses heightening in defense. Not only could he not handle this, but he knew it would make the rest of his night worse.

He squealed when the tip of the feather teased into his bellybutton. He jerked his hips to the side roughly, but a large hand grabbed hold and pressed him to the bed. When he wasn’t able to squirm away from the feeling and it persisted, he threw his head back and burst into squeaky laughter.

“The feathers make him like…a squeaky toy.”, Sapnap noted amusedly. He cried out at the tease, making them both laugh.

“Please!”, he whined out the plea. Sapnap’s feather joined Dream in clumsily trying to shove into his bellybutton and his entire body jolted as he giggled hysterically. The noise was light and frantic.

“I thought soft tickling didn’t work that well on you?”, Sapnap asked. George was gasping through his giggles and shaking his head. “He’s so cute like this.”.

They trailed the feathers all over his body. When teased behind his knees, he squealed every single time. Dream and Sapnap giggled as they took turns poking the feathers under his knees and making him make funny noises.

~•~

“C’mon Georgie let us in!”, Dream giggled as he fought with the wiggling toes.

“Please! Please!”, he cried out frantically as he jerked his feet around and scrunched his toes in defense. Were they trying to kill him?

Suddenly at the same time, Dream and Sapnap both got their vibrating toothbrushes in between the last two toes on both of George’s feet. The sounds he made were incredible. They dropped their jaws in awe as they watched George convulse on the bed. The laughter pouring out of him was unlike anything they had heard before. It was shamelessly loud and desperate.

The vibrating sensation was unfamiliar and startling. No amount of squirming could free him and he felt himself lose his mind to the feeling. The toothbrushes were decidedly evil. They both prodded around curiously between his quivering toes and he screamed in ticklish agony.

“Whoa!”, Sapnap laughed. George thrashed in his restraints and fell into uncontrollable laughter. His body and mind screamed for him to beg for mercy, to beg for them to go one at a time, to beg for them to stop. But, he didn’t.

“Fuck!”, he squeaked out. His face was a pretty shade of crimson.

“These work pretty well, Georgie.”, Dream said with a grin. He quickly touched the head of the vibrating brush to each of George’s toe pads and he let out a stream of high pitched cries and squeaks.

Sapnap turned and started climbing up the bed, waving the still-vibrating toothbrush at George.

“Nonono!!!”.

“Oh, yes.”, he smirked. The vibrating head touched inside George’s little bellybutton and he screeched. “Ooh!!”.

“Get out!!!”, he yelled, then burst into hysterical giggling. Dream peeked around Sapnap’s shoulder.

“Oh he sounds so cute when you do that.”. George squealed and bucked, but Sapnap was relentless in twisting the head around slowly to find the best reactions. He threw his head back into the pillow and bubbly laughter poured out. “He sounds happy!”, Dream exclaimed.

“Well, he is. He’s getting his tickles!”, Sapnap smirked back at Dream while he twisted the head of the toothbrush just right to make George squeal again.

“Shut up!!”, George shrieked, horrified at the words. A panicked burst of squeaky giggles escaped him as he jerked back and forth. “Sapnap!!”.

Dream laughed and leaned around Sapnap, trailing the vibrating head of his own toothbrush up George’s ticklish side. He squealed helplessly. He teased it closer and closer to his armpit and the boy screamed in terror.

“I hate you guys!!”.

“Oh, well that was rude.”, Dream scoffed and dove his toothbrush right into his armpit. Sapnap followed quickly. They both laughed at George’s violent reaction. Silent screams wracked his chest as he bucked and convulsed helplessly. He finally caught a little bit of air and wailed with laughter. It was frantic and beautiful. “Cute…”, Dream murmured.

The two made sure to thoroughly treat every inch of George’s ticklish armpits to the little vibrating heads of their toothbrushes before moving on. The tickles were so intense and focused, it made it hard for George to catch any air to laugh or beg. Mercilessly, they smiled on as he gasped and choked and cried.

Luckily, they knew this was what he truly wanted. As crazy as that might seem to them sometimes.

Eventually, they flicked off the toothbrushes and allowed him a break. George’s body went limp against the bed and flustered giggles broke free. Dream shushed him gently and pet his damp hair. Sapnap almost started to help get rid of the ghost tickles, but thought better of it. He poked the tip of George’s red nose.

“The ghosts are tickle tickle tickling you, huh?”, he teased. George nodded through his delirious giggling. The words were feathery and lined with sugar, sparking excitement across his nerves. Against his will, he squirmed at nothing. Sapnap coo’ed, making everything worse.

“Silly…”, George mumbled between giggles, barely thinking. Dream and Sapnap laughed.

It was so freeing to be known like this. George relaxed into the fluffy feelings and let his bubbly giggles take over. Here, he could be light and dumb and young. Dream wiped his tears away and he closed his eyes, humming. The cold thumbs against his burning hot cheeks felt refreshing.

“Sweet boy.You are silly.”, Dream grinned. George nuzzled up into the hand. Sapnap and Dream looked at each other in surprise. Soft little giggles were sneaking out from between his lips. Sapnap whined.

“He’s being so cute.”, he murmured.

Suddenly, he grabbed hold of both of George’s sides to make him squeal loudly.

“Stop being so cute.”.

“Sap!!!”, he cried and burst into crazed laughter. “No!! Please!!”. Dream laughed and poked into his ribs, making him shriek. “Dream!!”.

“We won’t stop unless you stop being cute!!”. George threw his head back into the pillow and cackled loudly.

Sapnap held up the electric toothbrush and turned it back on, making George scream in terror. They both laughed.

~•~

“Alright, what’s next?”, Dream asked as he got off the bed and stretched. Sapnap dug through the box. They both ignored George’s breathless giggles and whimpers.

“Hairbrush and this super fancy baby oil.”, Sapnap said as he held up the items. George whined loudly. “Oh, you excited?”.

“Shut up.”, George said quietly. He scrunched his toes at the sight of the hairbrush being inspected by Sapnap. He had only ever felt a hairbrush against his foot once before and he had nearly hurt both himself and Dream at how hard he thrashed and screamed. He snuck a look over to the boy in question and then closed his eyes and shoved his face into the pillow at the shit-eating grin he was met with.

“Oh Georgie.”, he coo’ed. “George loves the hairbrush! Wow…we’ve never tried it with the oil though have we? Huh, Georgie? You must be so excited!”.

“Dream, shut up.”, he gritted out, horribly flustered. Dream peeked back and laughed at the nervous toes.

“Stretching out your piggies in preparation?”, Dream asked. George squawked at the words. He laughed and ruffled his hair. George was giggling frantically, unable to calm down. His sweaty hair stuck up everywhere from the ruffling and he tried to squirm away, but failed.

“There’s only one.”, Sapnap added.

“He can only handle one. You use it and I’m going to sit on him so he doesn’t squirm too much and hurt himself.”, Dream said as he climbed back onto the bed and straddled George’s waist facing his legs. George whimpered, giggles finally calming down as the sudden reality of his situation set in. He wiggled his body a little in protest and earned a quick squeeze to his thigh.

“Dream!”, he screeched. His butterflies were never going to go away at this point. “Fuck, I can’t do this.”, he cried desperately.

“Sure you can!”.

“No, it’s going to be too bad!!”, he whined and flopped his head back into the pillow a few times.

Dream and Sapnap froze and stared at each other, waiting for a safeword drop. One of George’s feet was shaking with nervous energy and Sapnap grabbed it to stop it. A flurry of excited squeaky giggles flew from George’s mouth and they both grinned.

“These little feet are already so ticklish! What’s gonna happen when I put the baby oil on George? Huh?”.

“Don’t!!”, he cried. No safeword, though.

“Let’s see what happens without it first.”.

“No! Get away!!”, he screamed. Still, no safeword. Dream and Sapnap nodded at each other; he was fine.

Despite his threat, Sapnap grabbed the baby oil and clicked it open. George yelped at the sound.

“No no no please!!! C’mon!!”. Sapnap coated his hands and started gently massaging the oil into his left foot. Instantly, George burst into frantic giggles.

“Get between his toes too.”, Dream added helpfully. George squealed as Sapnap listened.

“Alright Georgie, are you ready?”.

“No!! Oh fuck oh fuck!!!”, George thrashed as much as he could, but Dream’s weight was on his hips. “Please I can’t take it!!! Sapnap please!!!”, he begged. There was a real edge of panic to his voice. “Don’t do it!!! I’m begging you!!!”.

If anyone else was tickling him, George probably wouldn’t let himself get into that level of franticness knowing it would scare most people into stopping. His two best friends knew better.

Sapnap giggled as he grabbed a hold of the foot and scrubbed the hairbrush against the slippery sole. George screwed his eyes shut and screamed bloody murder. The ticklish feeling was intense and unstoppable. It shot up through his leg and threw his entire body into a squirming panic. Every nerve in his system spiked at the feeling. Before he could suck in a breath to laugh, his lungs were pushing out another scream. It was a desperate and helpless noise. The ticklish feeling was overwhelming. Fresh tears streaked down his hot cheeks as he shook his head uselessly. His lungs burned a little with the force of his screaming and he felt dizzy at the lack of air. Just as he thought he was going to die, Sapnap stopped. George sucked in a large breath of air and exploded with laughter. Dream smirked back at him.

“Wow! That worked really well! Georgie, are you okay?”, Sapnap laughed as he stood up to see George’s face. It was impossibly red and covered in tears. He could only shake his head ‘no’ as his laughter faded into delirious giggling. In Sapnap’s hand, the foot was still twitching from the aftershocks. He teased the brush across the toes and grinned as George let out a choked shriek. “So ticklish!”.

Dream grinned and tilted his head in the direction of George’s right foot. As soon as Sapnap grabbed it George was thrown into a giggly panic again.

“Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck!!!”, he cried through his giggles. He squirmed as much as he could, but it was barely any. Sapnap had left the cap on the baby oil open so George had no warning before it was suddenly being massaged into his sensitive foot and the surprise made him yelp. Dream and Sapnap laughed.

“You have to be the most dramatic person on this planet!”, Dream said, amusedly.

“Do you wanna try this?!”, George asked, voice pitching strangely as he spoke through his giggling.

“No fucking way.”, Dream shook his head quickly. He looked over and laughed when he noticed Sapnap subconsciously responding with a head shaken ‘no’ as well. This would be way too intense for either of them. Maybe if he was prepared and ready, and definitely not restrained, he would give it a try. But, right now after the display George had just put on? No shot. He’s pretty certain it would kill him. He could almost feel the prickly tingles of ghost tickles along his soles just thinking about it.

George’s piercing scream broke him out of his thoughts. Sapnap scrubbed at the captured foot and grinned as the boy seemingly lost his mind.

This was something George was getting to experience more and more as Dream and Sapnap learned to put their mercy to the side for him. His brain switched off and he gave into his instincts, just screaming and crying. The ticklish feeling was maddening. The sensations were quick and startling, shooting through his body and making him squirm like a live wire. His foot flexed and twitched and trembled as Sapnap held it in place for his torment. He was helpless to it, to them. Just…tickles. It tickled. It tickled horribly.

A tortured scream tore through his body, sounding desperate enough to make Sapnap stop. It was unexpected, making him cry out with a shrill pathetic noise.

“Are you okay?”, Dream was asking somewhere above him. George opened his eyes and blinked away the tears. The room was bright. The question was confusing for some reason. He was still gasping for air and not sure how to respond. Yes? No? He was being tickled. “George?”, Dream tried again. Giggles spilled from his lips and he squirmed under the attention, confused and dizzy.

“It tickles.”, he squeaked out. Maybe that would be good enough? Dream smiled.

“Oh does it?”, he teased. The grip on his foot tightened and he was suddenly thrown back into his wild screaming as Sapnap touched that hairbrush back to his sensitive sole. Sapnap wasn’t going easy, really abusing his weakness. George gulped down air in an attempt to laugh, but the tickling was too intense. Screams tore from his throat before he could stop them and he was helpless to the feeling. His leg twitched violently, but was held in place by a large hand.

Together, they safely took him apart. George was allowed to thrash and scream to his heart's content without a thought.

Eventually, the feeling disappeared and George fell limp. Weak giggles broke through, but George couldn’t squirm at the ghost tickles anymore.

“So…what’s this?”, Sapnap’s voice asked from somewhere. A bunch of dull points pressed into his ticklish and over-sensitive sole and he squealed.

“What is that!!”, he yelled in panic. Both boys were laughing.

“It’s some kind of scalp massager for like, shampoo. But George wanted to be tickled with it.”, Dream explained.

Oh, they weren’t even going to let him recover.

George burst into laughter as Sapnap curiously pressed the massager all over his foot and toes. The sensation wasn’t as intense as the hairbrush, but it was driving him crazy.

“Fuck!”.

“It works pretty well!”. George shook his head through his laughter.

“That feels crazy!!”, he yelled.

“Look, Dream because they are a little pointy I have to be careful, but his ticklish little foot is totally freaking out!”.

“Shut up!!!”, George cried. Sapnap teased the shampoo massager across all of his toes, making him squeal.

“Be nice, Georgie.”, Dream warned and squeezed both of his thighs a few times to make him scream.

“Please!! Dream, fuck!”.

His thighs trembled in fear of another attack. Dream dusted his fingertips against them teasingly to make him jump. Sapnap paused his movements, watching curiously.

“I won’t get them too bad. Not before the massage gun.”, he purred. George shivered at the memory and glanced over where the device was charging. He whimpered.

Without warning, Sapnap teased the shampoo massager back down George’s sole and he squealed loudly.

“I wanna try!”, Dream said as he hopped up and moved to the bottom of the bed near Sapnap.

“No…”, George whined. Sapnap passed him the massager and he gently pressed it into George’s other sole. The boy giggled hysterically and squirmed. “No!”. Dream laughed and teased it along the wiggly toes.

“We gotta oil up these little piggies more often, huh?”. George threw his head back and cackled, affected by the words. “Oh, he’s such a goner.”.

“Get away!”, he cried through his laughter.

Dream and Sapnap passed the massager back and forth, tickling the bottom of George’s oily feet. When one didn’t have the massager, they would play with his toes or skitter their nails into the soles. Without a way to get used to the feeling, George just lost his mind again to the tickles. His laughter was bubbly and helpless. When he could, he would beg;

“Please!”, he tried. “Guys! No more!”, didn’t help either. “Why?!”, he cried. “Fuck!”, it was too much. He tried everything.

Everything besides what would actually stop them, of course.

~•~

“It’s time for the finale!!!”, Dream exclaimed as he unplugged the massage gun and gestured to it. George shook his head weakly.

“You can’t.”, he insisted.

“George, people use those all the time to massage themselves after working out!”, Sapnap said.

“Give it to one of them then!”, he shot back quickly, making them both laugh.

“You’re such an idiot.”, Dream said fondly and grabbed George’s knee. “Alright Sapnap, where do I press it in?”.

They both ignored George’s frantic squirming and begs for mercy as Sapnap scrolled through directions on his phone.

“Okay, try the muscle above his knee and kind of inner thigh.”.

“Got it!”, Dream said. He turned it on and George yelped in fear.

“Don’t do this to me!!!”, he cried.

As soon as the head of the gun touched his thigh again, he was thrashing against the bed with a silent scream. The pulse of ticklish vibrations went through his entire body and shook him to the core. Dream worked it down to find the most sensitive area and one spot tore a piercing scream from George.

“I’m such a good masseuse.”, Dream muttered amusedly, moving around the gun. A sharp laugh pierced the air as George found his breath. It was quick and loud, almost scaring the two. Mostly, he was just thrashing in silence as the overwhelming tickles took him over. Every laugh that fought its way out was strained and desperate.

He lifted up the gun and watched him carefully. Silently, Dream and Sapnap watched George shake with breathy giggles.

“I hate you guys…”, he managed out. The two grinned at each other; he was fine.

“Okay, anywhere else?”.

“Yeah, try higher up on the inside.”.

George couldn’t find it in himself to fight it, he just let himself scream and fall back into desperate silent thrashing as the vibrating head of the gun shook every nerve in his body. It was so intense in the one spot, it felt like he was being tickled from the inside out. His vision blacked so he squeezed his eyes shut, mind swimming in colors. Sharp cackles escaped him over and over again between his silent screams. This might be the worst tickling he’s ever felt.

~•~

If you asked, George would have no idea how long the two tickle monsters tormented his ticklish thighs with that massage gun. They tickled him out. Definitely.

His outbursts of crazed laughter were more and more spread out until he was just convulsing and gasping.

“Skeppy!”, he squeaked out, finally. And it came to a stop.

George went completely limp against the bed. His legs were still shaking from the vibrations, but he just let it happen. He kept his eyes closed and just let Dream and Sapnap take over for him. He relaxed and caught his breath while they un-cuffed him, put him under the covers, and snuggled up on either side of him.

“Wow Georgie, you really held out.”, Dream said softly. He finally let out a tired little giggle and turned his face into Sapnap’s shoulder in embarrassment. The two laughed at him.

“That was torture…”, he murmured quietly into Sapnap’s shoulder. He tried hiding his grin into the younger’s shoulder since he didn’t have the energy to fight it off.

‘He’s smiling.’, Sapnap mouthed to Dream. They both beamed.

Their adorable best friend. So sweet to trust them with this. Tickled to the brink of death, yet still cuddling with them and giddy. George snaked his hand back and grabbed Dream’s shirt, tugging him closer as he laid his head on Sapnap’s chest. He burned with embarrassment, but just nuzzled in and let himself relax. Dream wrapped around him and soon, he was pressed like he wanted to be between his best friends. The ones who knew him more than anybody. Here, he was home.

Together, they drifted off. Warm and happy. George, still buzzing from the events of the night.

what is the optimal dental care routine? i floss with a waterpik + brush teeth with electric toothbrush + scrape tongue after waking up and before going to bed

Am NOT an expert this is just based on dentist recommendations I've collected over time (all of those are corroborated by multiple sources I would consider trustworthy, and generally just common sense I think). The priority here is healthy teeth, not aesthetics, although they are to some degree related

The number one most important thing is brushing at least twice a day for at least 2 min

The number two most important thing is having fluoride in your toothpaste since it remineralizes teeth and is integral for preventing cavities. I also use a weekly high-concentration fluoride gel (here it's called Elmex Gelee, no idea what's available in which countries) because I have congenitally bad enamels

The space between teeth is high-risk for cavities so you should floss or use interdental brushes once a day

Brushing/scraping the tongue is also good because it removes additional bacteria

Mouthwash apparently doesn't do much, I've heard conflicting opinions on this

The research is still inconclusive on this one but in my personal experience sonic toothbrushes are an actual game changer, compared to both regular electric and especially to manual toothbrushes. They're also supposed to clean the spaces between teeth better because of fluid dynamics, and anecdotally I would say this is true. The basic models not expensive (if you live in a rich country...) and you don't need more than the basic model (the expensive ones just have unnecessary shit like bluetooth). I have Philips sonicare 2100 it was just the cheapest in the store and it's fine

Avoid whitening toothpastes because they contain particles that scrub your enamel and can wear it down unnecessarily

Relatedly it's possible to brush too hard and cause wear on the enamels - don't put too much pressure on the toothbrush... electric/sonic also helps with this because they control the pressure to some degree

If whiter teeth (beyond what you can achieve by normal brushing) is really important to you then getting them bleached at the dentist is the best option - apparently it doesn't even harm your teeth. Just your wallet

And finally it's also about what you eat and especially drink. Sugary and acidic drinks are sadly absolutely terrible for your teeth. So are candies, especially anything that stays in your mouth for longer than it takes to chew regular food. For me as a person with congenitally bad enamels this means I've had to make the very difficult decision of no longer drinking fruit juice :-( It also helps to rinse your mouth with water to get sugar and acid out. Unsweetened tea and coffee can stain your teeth but don't harm them, this is purely aesthetic

Hope this helps and let me know if you have other tips im forgetting or unaware of. xoxo

Pro Sonic Toothbrush: The Ultimate Oral Care Solution

Why Choose a Pro Sonic Toothbrush for Superior Clean

A pro sonic toothbrush offers advanced oral care, blending superior technology with ease of use. These toothbrushes use high-frequency sonic vibrations to clean teeth more effectively than manual brushing. By reaching deep into hard-to-reach areas, they ensure plaque is removed and gums stay healthy. The gentle vibrations help reduce the buildup of harmful bacteria while providing a soothing brushing experience. One of the key benefits of toothbrushes is their ability to improve brushing efficiency, making it easier to maintain good oral hygiene and fight against cavities and gum disease.

Understanding Sonic Technology and Its Benefits

Sonic technology in toothbrushes refers to the high-speed vibrations that the brush head produces. These vibrations reach speeds of up to 40,000 strokes per minute, allowing for a more thorough cleaning than manual brushing. The sonic pulses effectively dislodge food particles and plaque, even from areas traditional brushes might miss. By using these advanced vibrations, a pro sonic toothbrush can remove plaque, reduce gum inflammation, and promote overall oral health. Additionally, sonic technology offers a gentler brushing experience compared to traditional electric toothbrushes.

How a Pro Sonic Toothbrush Improves Oral Health

A toothbrush works efficiently to prevent dental problems such as tooth decay, gum disease, and bad breath. The high-frequency vibrations ensure that plaque is removed from both the surface of the teeth and along the gum line. It also reaches areas between the teeth that are often missed by manual brushing, leading to a more thorough clean. Regular use of a sonic toothbrush reduces the risk of cavities and promotes healthier gums, making it an essential tool for long-term oral health maintenance.

The Key Features of a Pro Sonic Toothbrush

Pro sonic toothbrushes are equipped with several features that enhance their cleaning power and ease of use. Most models come with multiple brushing modes, allowing users to customize their brushing experience based on their oral care needs. Some also feature timers that ensure each section of the mouth is cleaned for an appropriate amount of time. Another common feature is the pressure sensor, which alerts users if they are brushing too hard. The ergonomic design makes it comfortable to hold, even for extended periods.

The Best Pro Sonic Toothbrush Models to Consider

There are several high-quality toothbrushes available on the market today. Some of the most popular models include brands like Philips Sonicare, Oral-B, and Fairywill. Each brand offers unique features such as different brushing modes, longer battery life, and advanced pressure sensors. Philips Sonicare, for example, is known for its superior sonic technology and various smart features, such as real-time feedback on brushing habits. Oral-B’s pro sonic toothbrush models are also favored for their ease of use and effective plaque control.

Pro Sonic Toothbrush vs. Manual Toothbrush: A Comparison

While manual toothbrushes have been a staple for years, toothbrushes are gaining popularity due to their superior cleaning ability. Sonic toothbrushes provide more strokes per minute, making them more efficient at removing plaque and debris. Unlike manual brushing, which relies on the user’s technique, a sonic toothbrush offers a consistent cleaning experience every time. Additionally, the gentle vibrations promote gum health and reduce the chances of enamel erosion. A manual toothbrush, while inexpensive, does not offer the same level of cleaning efficiency as a pro sonic model.

Are Pro Sonic Toothbrushes Suitable for Sensitive Teeth?

Yes, toothbrushes are an excellent option for individuals with sensitive teeth. The gentle vibrations of the sonic brush help to clean teeth without causing irritation to sensitive gums. Many pro sonic models feature a “sensitive” mode that reduces the intensity of the vibrations, making the brushing experience even more comfortable for those with delicate teeth or gums. Furthermore, these toothbrushes help to reduce plaque buildup and improve overall oral health without the discomfort that can come with traditional brushing techniques.

How to Use a Pro Sonic Toothbrush Effectively

To maximize the benefits of your toothbrush, it’s essential to follow the correct brushing technique. Hold the brush at a 45-degree angle against your gums, allowing the sonic vibrations to do most of the work. Move the brush slowly from tooth to tooth, letting the vibrations clean the surface. For optimal results, it’s important to brush for the recommended two minutes, ensuring that each quadrant of your mouth gets sufficient attention. Avoid pressing too hard, as the brush will clean efficiently even with gentle contact.

The Importance of Regularly Replacing Brush Heads

To maintain the effectiveness of your pro sonic toothbrush, it’s crucial to replace the brush head regularly. Over time, the bristles wear down, making them less effective at removing plaque and debris. Most manufacturers recommend changing the brush head every three months or sooner if the bristles show signs of wear. Replacing the brush head ensures that your toothbrush continues to deliver a high-quality cleaning performance. Some models even feature reminders to alert you when it’s time for a replacement.

Pro Sonic Toothbrush Battery Life and Charging

Toothbrushes are designed for convenience, and many models come with long-lasting batteries. Depending on the model, you can expect the battery to last anywhere from one to three weeks on a full charge, even with daily use. Many pro sonic toothbrushes also feature a fast charging capability, allowing you to quickly recharge the device when necessary. Some high-end models come with a travel case that doubles as a charger, making it easier to take your toothbrush on the go.

The Role of Pro Sonic Toothbrushes in Preventing Gum Disease

Pro sonic toothbrushes can play a significant role in preventing gum disease by effectively cleaning along the gum line, where plaque and bacteria tend to accumulate. The high-frequency vibrations help to remove plaque and prevent its buildup, which can lead to gum inflammation, bleeding, and more severe conditions like gingivitis. Regular brushing with a toothbrush helps to reduce the risk of gum disease, ensuring that your gums remain healthy and free from infection.

Benefits of Pro Sonic Toothbrushes for Overall Oral Hygiene

Pro sonic toothbrushes contribute significantly to overall oral hygiene by improving the cleanliness of your teeth and gums. They are more effective at removing plaque and bacteria compared to manual brushes, which helps reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and bad breath. The consistent vibrations ensure that you clean your teeth thoroughly every time, and advanced models provide features such as timers and pressure sensors that promote the best brushing technique. These toothbrushes also help improve the overall health of your teeth and gums with less effort.

FAQs

What is the Difference Between Sonic and Electric Toothbrushes?

Sonic toothbrushes differ from traditional electric toothbrushes in the speed and frequency of their vibrations. Sonic toothbrushes produce vibrations at a much higher frequency (up to 40,000 strokes per minute) compared to electric toothbrushes. This increased speed helps to clean teeth more effectively and reach areas that a manual or standard electric toothbrush might miss. Sonic toothbrushes are typically gentler on the gums and more effective at removing plaque.

How Often Should I Replace My Pro Sonic Toothbrush Head?

It is generally recommended to replace the brush head on your pro sonic toothbrush every three months, or sooner if the bristles begin to fray. Replacing the head regularly ensures that the toothbrush continues to clean effectively. Some advanced models even feature built-in reminders to let you know when it's time to change the head.

Can a Pro Sonic Toothbrush Help With Bad Breath?

Yes, a pro sonic toothbrush can help with bad breath by effectively removing food particles, plaque, and bacteria that contribute to unpleasant odors. Regular use of a pro sonic toothbrush can help to maintain better oral hygiene, reduce bacteria buildup, and keep your breath fresh. The gentle sonic vibrations also help to clean the tongue and gums, further preventing bad breath.

How to Brush Braces with an Electric Brush: Step-by-Step Guide

As someone who has navigated the challenges of wearing braces, I know firsthand the importance of maintaining excellent oral hygiene.

Why Use an Electric Toothbrush for Braces

Electric toothbrushes offer several advantages over manual toothbrushes, especially for those of us with braces. Firstly, the oscillating or vibrating bristles of an electric toothbrush are designed to clean more thoroughly around the brackets and wires, ensuring that food particles and plaque are effectively removed. This thorough cleaning helps to prevent cavities and gum disease, common concerns for people with braces.

Additionally, many electric toothbrushes come equipped with built-in timers to ensure you brush for the recommended two minutes. This feature is particularly beneficial for individuals with braces who need to be meticulous about their oral hygiene routine.

Step-by-Step Guide to Brushing Braces with an Electric Toothbrush

Preparing to Brush

Before you start brushing, it's essential to rinse your mouth with water to remove any loose particles. Make sure your electric toothbrush is fully charged, and apply a pea-sized amount of fluoride toothpaste to the bristles. Fluoride toothpaste is crucial for strengthening tooth enamel and preventing decay.

Detailed Steps for Brushing Braces

Step 1: Brushing Around Brackets and Wires

Begin by placing the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to your gum line. Gently move the brush in a circular motion around the brackets and wires. Spend about 30 seconds on each quadrant of your mouth to ensure a thorough clean. The key is to be gentle yet thorough, letting the bristles do the work without pressing too hard.

Step 2: Cleaning the Inner and Outer Surfaces

Next, focus on the inner and outer surfaces of your teeth. Continue using the circular motion, ensuring the bristles reach between the brackets and wires. This will help remove any plaque buildup that can cause cavities and gum irritation.

Step 3: Using the Brush on Wires and Tongue

Don't forget to brush along the wires and the surface of your tongue. This helps eliminate bacteria and keeps your breath fresh. Many electric toothbrushes come with specialized brush heads designed for this purpose.

Tips for Safe and Effective Use

To use your electric toothbrush safely and effectively, avoid pressing too hard on your teeth and braces. Let the bristles do the work, and be gentle to prevent damaging your braces or irritating your gums. Replace your brush head every three months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed.

Benefits of Using an Electric Toothbrush for Braces

Effective Plaque Removal

Electric toothbrushes are highly effective at removing plaque and preventing tartar buildup. The rapid movement of the bristles ensures that even hard-to-reach areas around braces are cleaned thoroughly. This is crucial for maintaining healthy teeth and gums while wearing braces.

Minimizing Damage to Braces

The gentle yet thorough cleaning action of electric toothbrushes helps minimize the risk of damaging your braces or causing discomfort. The pressure sensors in many electric toothbrushes prevent you from brushing too hard, protecting both your gums and orthodontic appliances.

Conclusion

Maintaining oral hygiene with braces can be challenging, but using an electric toothbrush can make a significant difference. By following the steps outlined above, you can ensure that your braces and teeth stay clean and healthy throughout your orthodontic treatment.

How to Choose a Toothbrush

Choosing the right toothbrush is an important part of maintaining good oral hygiene. There are a variety of toothbrushes available on the market, and it can be difficult to know which one is best for you. This guide will provide you with information on how to choose a toothbrush that is best suited for your needs. It will cover topics such as brush head size, handle design, bristles, and price range. By understanding these factors, you will be able to make an informed decision when choosing your next toothbrush.

Size Matters

One of the most important factors to consider when choosing a toothbrush is the size of the brush head. Toothbrushes with larger brush heads may seem like they will cover more surface area, but they can make it harder to reach certain areas of your mouth, such as the back teeth. A smaller brush head can be more effective in reaching all areas of your mouth, especially the difficult-to-reach places.

Bristle Strength

Another important factor to consider when choosing a toothbrush is the strength of the bristles. Toothbrushes come in a variety of bristle strengths, including soft, medium, and hard. Soft bristle toothbrushes are recommended by dentists because they are gentler on teeth and gums. Medium and hard-bristled toothbrushes can be too harsh and cause damage to the gums or wear down the enamel of your teeth.

Electric or Manual

Another decision to make when choosing a toothbrush is whether to use an electric or manual toothbrush. Electric toothbrushes are becoming increasingly popular and are recommended by dentists as they are more effective at removing plaque and reducing gingivitis. They also come with a variety of features, including timers, pressure sensors, and multiple brushing modes. Manual toothbrushes, on the other hand, are less expensive and can be just as effective if used properly.

Comfort

It is important to choose a toothbrush that you are comfortable using. If the toothbrush is too large or has hard bristles, it can be painful to use and can lead to cuts and sores in your mouth. If the toothbrush is too small, it may not clean your teeth effectively. It is important to find a toothbrush that is the right size and has bristles that are comfortable for you.

Brand

There are many different toothbrush brands on the market, and it can be overwhelming to choose one. Some of the most popular brands include Oral-B, Colgate, and Philips Sonicare. It is important to choose a reputable brand that is known for producing high-quality toothbrushes. Search for toothbrushes supported by the American Dental Affiliation (ADA).

Replacement

It is suggested that you replace your toothbrush every three to four months, or sooner if the bristles become frayed or worn. Some toothbrushes come with indicator bristles that will fade over time to let you know when it is time to replace the brush. Consider purchasing toothbrushes in bulk so that you always have a replacement on hand.

Cost

The cost of a toothbrush can vary greatly depending on the brand and features. While it may be tempting to choose a cheaper toothbrush, investing in a high-quality toothbrush can save you money in the long run by reducing the risk of tooth decay, gum disease, and other oral health problems. When choosing a toothbrush, consider your budget and choose the best toothbrush you can afford.

In conclusion, choosing the right toothbrush can make a significant difference in your oral health. Consider the size of the brush head, the strength of the bristles, whether to use an electric or manual toothbrush, the comfort of the toothbrush, the brand, replacement, and cost. By taking the time to choose the right toothbrush, you can help ensure that you maintain good oral health for years to come. Make sure to replace your toothbrush each three to four months.
