For me, it's an electric toothbrush. It doesn't matter if you go with Sonicare or Oral-B, once you start using an electric toothbrush, regular toothbrushes don't ever feel like they clean your teeth properly. The smooth plaque-free top layer of your teeth that you can feel after using an electric toothbrush can't be replicated with a regular toothbrush.

You mean infrared, right? What positive changes die you experience?

The panels typically offer both red and near infrared light. The biggest benefit for me which was a surprise benefit I had not even intended to address is my asthma. Specially the near infrared on my lungs has allowed me to stop all asthma medication that I took for over 45 years. It is super effective and there are research papers emerging that support.

Thanks for your report. While looking for a daylight therapy panel I glanced over the reviews for red light panels and people were raving over them. Seems there is some truth to that. Congratulations for getting rid of your asthma. Know how that feels. Had pollen allergies through my whole teenage and young adult years which are completely gone now. I attribute starting running and exposing myself to that MFs.
