Why use an electric toothbrush rather than a regular toothbrush? We’re glad you asked!
An electronic toothbrush is…
Easy to Use – Simply charge and press a button to begin. Some electric toothbrushes even have built-in timers to let you know when you’re finished brushing! The phrase “work smarter not harder” comes to mind.
Fast & Thorough – Using rapid, back-and-forth or spinning bristle movements, the electric toothbrush provides superior cleaning in hard-to-reach areas using pressure that can be much more difficult when using a manual toothbrush.
Great for Gums – Thorough brushing leads to healthier teeth and gums. Therefore, routine brushing with an electric toothbrush can prevent problems with gums, such as gingivitis and gum disease.
Tough on Bad Breath – Food and plaque left between teeth can often lead to bad breath. Flossing and using an electric toothbrush is the perfect combination for loosening and removing pesky food and germs.
Perfect for Braces Care – An automatic electric toothbrush is ideal for braces patients for many reasons: The ease of use, the pressure and thoroughness of cleaning, and the ability to remove plaque and foods from hard-to-reach areas are each crucial components for oral health when wearing braces.
