Electric Brush versus Manual Brushes

There have been multiple studies comparing the effectiveness of manual brushes as opposed to electric brushes.

Not all the electric brushes are the same! In conclusion of these studies, it is fair to say that electric brushes are more effective in controlling plaque than manual brushes.

Theoretically you could do a very good brushing with a regular hand brush but the movements of an electric brush makes the task easier and more efficient.

We recommend the Oral-B electric toothbrush mainly because it has a small head that will help you reach difficult areas of your mouth. Another important benefit is the included timer that reinforces the necessary time needed for a thorough brushing.

Remember a cleaner mouth is a healthier mouth.
