Benefits of Electric Toothbrushes

Have you ever thought of using an electric toothbrush? Is it better than a manual toothbrush? Many dentists say, “yes” for several reasons.

However, it should be noted that just buying an electric toothbrush will not keep your teeth clean. You need to brush three times a day for at least two minutes per brushing session using the right technique. By brushing correctly with an electric toothbrush, you can keep plaque and its damaging effects away.

Electric toothbrushes aren't the same as battery-powered toothbrushes, which use a AA battery to make the bristles vibrate. Electric toothbrushes are rechargeable devices that plug into the wall.

Electric toothbrushes often come with special speeds/modes for sensitive teeth, gum massage and whitening. Some electric toothbrushes come with pressure sensors that even alert the user that she or he is brushing too hard. Some include digital reminders to replace your brush head.

If there is no digital reminder, then it is recommended to change the brush heads every three to six months. Brush heads come in different shapes and sizes to suit everyone’s preferences.

For some people, the one drawback for electric toothbrushes is the price. They can range from $25 to $100 depending on how many extra features you want. An electric toothbrush could easily earn its keep by saving you money on your dental bills, in the long run.
