I brush my teeth twice a day with the Philips Sonicare Diamond Clean black edition. Its an eye watering £250, but in the Black Friday sales, I seem to remember paying something closer to £90 (from Boots = LOADS OF POINTS), which is still a crazy amount to pay for a toothbrush - but my husband and I use the same device and we just swap brush heads. So although we need to charge it more frequently, its definitely better than paying for two other them! It took a few goes to get used to the tickly sonic movements of the brush, but it feels totally normal now.
There are a few settings to use, and I mostly use the 'Whitening' setting, which has about 30 seconds extra of a different frequency of cleaning (at least that is what it feels like) compared to the standard 'clean setting'. It lasts for a minimum of 2 minutes, so its nice to know that you're cleaning your teeth for long enough and not just giving them a quick tickle with the brush. I don't rinse my mouth out after, as I've been told to leave the toothpaste to carry on working on your teeth, rather than washing it off with water.
I then floss in the evening with the standard Oral B floss, it has a slight minty taste and it just slips in between my teeth easily so doesn't cause too much irritation. I definitely believe that the more frequently you floss, the better your gums are at coping with it.
Then whenever I feel I want to give my teeth/mouth an extra helping hand, I use some of the Corsodyl mouth wash to give it a complete clean. This is great to do when you're had a lot of garlic in the evening, because I think it definitely lessens the impact of the garlic when you wake up in the morning! And I quite often have a swig of mouthwash instead of having a mint/chewing gum as it instantly freshens your mouth up.
I've also had my teeth whitened with an 'at home' treatment via the dentist - review on that soon!
