Why Use an Electric Toothbrush?

I have often been asked if using an electric toothbrush is any better than using a standard toothbrush. My answer to patients is yes! Electric toothbrushes are great for achieving optimum oral health because they are easier to use, they are better at removing plaque than standard toothbrushes, and have unique features that allow people to choose the best brush for them.

As I mentioned, electric toothbrushes make brushing easier to clean your teeth and gums. They essentially provide the brushing action for you. You only have to guide the toothbrush along your teeth and gums. This makes cleaning easier and usually more effective. Electric toothbrushes also are better at removing plaque from teeth and cleaning gums than standard toothbrushes due to its oscillation motion.

Lastly, electronic toothbrushes have several features that can appeal to your individual needs. Some toothbrushes have timers that indicate when to move the brush along the teeth. Others have pressure sensors to indicate when you're brushing too hard. Many electronic toothbrushes have different heads with multiple colors so the entire family can use it.
