This is super helpful, thank you! The toothbrush head is pretty big (Sonicare), so I should probably practice more driving/angling.

If your teeth and gums are healthy then it sounds like whatever you're doing is working. Unless your hygienist mentioned brushing technique for a reason, like for example if you're brushing over the gum line enough to cause bleeding or gum recession, I wouldn't worry too much.

I hate wasabi. I know, heresy.

And here I am looking forward to actually tasting real wasabi one day.

QUESTION!

For those that use an electric toothbrush, do you still use the same circular brushing motions, like you would with a manual brush (albeit with a lighter hand), or do you keep your wrist still and sort of drive it around your teeth and gums like a power washer?

I can't seem to get a straight answer on this from dental professionals.

I used one for a while, and I think I kind of still went in circles. It may have been due to my unfamiliarity with it, however.

Don't worry, so do I, I'll join you in this heresy.

If you live somewhere with a climate suitable for growing mustard greens, you could try growing the variety 'Wasabina' while you wait for these to be ready to harvest. It tastes surprisingly similar to actual wasabi.

Wow. You're finally wrong about something.

Is it because the heat shoots out your nose? I love it, but my husband isn't a fan for that reason.

No. I just don't like the super bitter taste. I dislike horseradish for the same reason. So bitter it tastes metallic to my taste buds

I don't disapprove if anyone else enjoying wasabi, it's just not for me.

And that's completely fair. I can't stand mustard, so I completely understand.

I hate the vast majority of mustard UNLESS it’s honey or maple mustard.

So... so you're not going to be like Reddit?
