Manual Toothbrush vs Electric Toothbrush: Which is Better?

Oasis Dental
Published by Oasis Dental in Cosmetic Dentistry · 29 November 2018

When it comes to healthcare products, everybody has an opinion. Products for oral health are not exceptions. You have surely heard friends and loved ones insist that they are using the best products, but you are not entirely certain that they are right. A smarter approach is to listen to a dentist. At Oasis Dental, we can help you choose the toothbrush that is best for you.

Are There Advantages To Manual Toothbrushes?

If you are like many people, you have used manual toothbrushes since you were a child. You may be so familiar with this type of toothbrush that you do not know if there is a reason to change. These toothbrushes are quite inexpensive, but that does not mean you should not consider an alternative.

What Are The Advantages Of Electric Toothbrushes?

There are many reasons it is in your best interest to choose an electric toothbrush. The most important reason is they are better for your overall oral health. Each time you brush, you want your teeth, gums, and mouth to be as clean as possible. The speed and motion provides a deeper clean to every surface. As it does all the work for you, it is easier to clean small spaces within your teeth and along the gum line.

A second reason is reducing the risk of tooth sensitivity and gum damage. You may have been led to believe the harder you brush, the better the results. This is not true at all. In fact, hard brushing with a manual toothbrush can scrape your gums and wear down tooth enamel. When you use an electric toothbrush, though, brushing is both effective and gentle.

Third, it is easier to brush and have the results you want. Although you should brush for at least 2 minutes, this rarely occurs with manual toothbrushes. It is easy to become impatient, and not do a thorough job. Children, especially, develop this habit. With a new electric toothbrush, your children can have better oral care habits for life.

Easy brushing makes electric toothbrushes ideal for everybody. From your toddler who is learning how to brush his teeth, to the elderly person who experiences pain or weakness in his hands, there is a perfect brush for each individual. Every member of your family can have a good home oral care routine, and enjoy better oral health.
