Do the Pearlie White whitening devices at Watsons do any good?

These are devices powered by AA batteries and have some spinning rubber tip which "erases" the stains on teeth. Allegedly erases.
Works for minor coffee stains on surface of teeth, BUT, it is abrasive. Especially the paste bundled in the kit.

I believe it's mold that has grown into the handle like my manual toothbrush.

No luck Removing it.

I use the water flosser, esp useful for those gaps. But do not let the stains get a foot hold on the rubber parts, for those the mould roots would get deep inside and impossible to clear completely.

Anyone knows if the Panasonic flosser ew-dj10 works with rechargeable batteries?

Of course, why not. But the current demands, as per my personal measurements, are quite high.

Preferably use Eneloop XX/Pro. Search my previous posts, i attached some cell discharge graph of various NiMH and current measurements of the PAnasonic oral irrigator before with NiMH and NiZn.

Tried before, called prophy polishing rubber cups. If you are using those + normal whitening tootpastes with hydrated silica in them, still not easy to polish away.

If the stains are due to coffee ie very localised stains, can order from ebay or Taobao some stainless steel dental picks. Else if you just wanna try a bit, use a fork or scissors and slowly scrap on your enamel. Slowly hor..... no issue with damaging your enamel no worries, not so easy to damage. You will find that you can scrape it away, but the effect is real slow. After confirming that these works。

BTW, it works with professional tools and prophy polishing paste.....but those AA gadgets + toothpaste w hydrated silica is not the same hor...don't be mislead. Our consumer stuff is way way way way way less abrasive.

For me i just do my own ultrasonic supragingival scaling, absolutely no issue for me. Stains are actually easy peasy.

Coz I used some cheap batteries from the dollar shop, can't seem to last long before the pressure drops
