5 Clear Advantages of Using an Electric Toothbrush Over a Manual One

electric toothbrush with toothpasteWith all the thousands of decisions you make in a day, the choice of which toothbrush to use probably does not even cross your radar. Most people simply choose one in a color they like, figuring all toothbrushes are the same. As it turns out, it does matter which type of toothbrush you buy. Here are six compelling reasons why you should switch to an electric toothbrush today.

1. Electric Toothbrushes Clean More Thoroughly
With their unique brush shape and spinning motion, electric toothbrushes clean your teeth more thoroughly than you probably do with your manual toothbrush and back-and-forth motion. Electric toothbrushes’ battery power makes them effective at reaching bacteria hidden between your teeth and at scrubbing your teeth’s surface stains.

2. You Are More Likely to Brush Long Enough
While some people sing a song or use a timer to make sure they brush their teeth for the recommended two minutes, most people just give their mouths a quick once-over that leaves plenty of bacteria hanging around. Many electric toothbrushes come with timers that let you know when your two minutes is up.

3. Electronic Toothbrushes Make Brushing Teeth Easier
Some people, such as small children and the elderly, may have difficulty with the coordination tooth brushing requires. With an electric toothbrush, you simply have to hold the toothbrush handle, which is wider than a traditional toothbrush handle, and let the toothbrush do all the work.

4. The Use of Electric Toothbrushes Leads to Better Long Term Dental Health
Studies have shown that people who consistently use electric toothbrushes as opposed to manual ones see a greater reduction in plaque and gingivitis. Plus, the fact that they clean better means fewer cavities and fewer trips to your Bolivar, MO dentist.

5. Electronic Toothbrushes are Cool
Today’s generation is obsessed with the latest electronics. Why not extend that obsession to toothbrushes as well? If an electric toothbrush is what it takes to get small children and teens to practice good oral hygiene, then they are worth every penny.
