Lots of people today prefer using an electric toothbrush over a manual one. But is it scientifically better to use a power brush than using a traditional manual brush? Are those using manual brushes compromising on their dental health? The answer is, not really, as long as they use their brush correctly. But do they?
It has not been conclusively proven that electric toothbrushes are better than manual ones, and using either brush can clean just as well provided that the brush is used properly and as prescribed. Having said that, there are certain obvious advantages that an electric toothbrush can offer over a good old traditional toothbrush.
To begin with, electric toothbrushes have different cleaning motions like rotary, oscillating, and pulsating motions to clean effectively. Also, over 400 pulses in a second means that an electric brush does all the work for you. All you need to do is hold it with the right amount of pressure, which of course can be maintained with the help of pressure sensors! Yes, some oral power toothbrushes like the oral b triumph 9900 have a pressure sensor that can indicate when too much or too little pressure is being applied.
To get the best results from using a manual brush, it is important to follow the prescribed brushing routine. It is recommended that teeth need to be brushed and cleaned twice a day, for two minutes at a time. Very few people actually follow this as time seems to pass rather slowly while brushing teeth! With an electric toothbrush, it is possible to brush exactly for two minutes with the help of a two minute timer, which most power brushes now have.
The important differences between traditional and power toothbrushes are price, aesthetics, and convenience. An oral b electric brush will obviously be a lot more expensive than a manual one, but while a manual brush can be thrown away after a few months of use, you can change the brush head of an electric brush with a replacement brush head.
Earlier electric toothbrushes were bulky and odd shaped and weren't the best kind of toothbrush to carry on travels. While a manual toothbrush still remains the very good travel option, power brushes have now evolved into sleek, well designed and compact gadgets.
It is not possible to say that a power toothbrush is unquestionably better than a manual toothbrush; but it can be safely assumed that most people do not brush as recommended by dentists. And so for those of us who could do with a little help, an electric toothbrush is here to offer just that!
