Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing once a day is the foundation of proper oral health. Both electric and manual toothbrushes help remove plaque and reduce the risks of dental decay and gum disease. However, there some additional benefits one gains when upgrading to an electric toothbrush.
Benefit #1: Prevents you from using too much pressure when brushing.
One common issue with manual brushes is people will apply too much pressure when brushing which results in damaging the enamel on the teeth. An electric toothbrush vibrates, pulses, and spins to remove plaque from the teeth so it does all the work without the added pressure.
Benefit #2: More effective at plaque removal.
An electric toothbrush does a much better job of removing plaque from the teeth. Rotating toothbrush heads work better than other types of toothbrush heads. This is because they oscillate which helps remove more plaque.
Benefit #3: Perfect for anyone with mobility issues.
If you have arthritis, developmental disabilities, or carpal tunnel syndrome, using an electric toothbrush is easier than a manual one. All you have to do is hold the toothbrush and it does all the work.
