3 Reasons to Use an Electric Toothbrush

There are a lot of electric toothbrushes on the market. Which one is right for you? Which one is priced just right? Do they all do the same thing and should you care how many settings a toothbrush has? All these questions are valid, and the short answer is – an electric toothbrush is an excellent way to clean your teeth and investing in an electric toothbrush is worth it. Here are just a handful of reasons why:

1. Gums and teeth will be cleaner and healthier.

Brushing thoroughly isn’t always easy to do. Some crevices are just impossible to reach. Thankfully, you have a professional dental cleaning and exam every six months to help you with the blind spots. Until then, though, you must do the best you can, and an electric toothbrush can help with that endeavor.

The bristles on a manual toothbrush simply can’t compete with power of an electric toothbrush, which has a rotating head with bristles that reach further thanks to motion and pressure. Say buh-bye to excessive plaque and tartar build-up.

2. You’ll save your teeth from aggressive brushing.

Some people brush with a heavy hand, thinking that brushing harder is an essential part of oral health care. Being overzealous with the brushing, however, can contribute to gum recession and enamel erosion. These problems make it possible for decay and bacteria to enter where they shouldn’t and set the stage for the development of gum disease.

An electric toothbrush uses just the right amount of pressure to clean your teeth thoroughly without doing damage to them, or any other part of your mouth.

3. The electric toothbrush does the work for you.

When you use an electric toothbrush, you can daydream. All you need to focus on is making sure you’ve moved the brush from tooth to tooth for a thorough cleaning. Otherwise, you don’t need to think about how hard you’re brushing or how long (most brushes have built-in timers to keep you honest). The brushing will be comprehensive and meticulous, and your teeth will feel super-clean.

You’ll Love Your Electric Toothbrush

With incredibly clean teeth come all the excellent side effects – a gorgeous smile, fresh breath, fewer cavities, and happiness. Never underestimate the power of a healthy, beautiful smile, or the power of a great electric toothbrush. Diligent brushing and flossing and regular visits to your Haymarket dentist will help you maintain one of the most important parts of your appearance.

There are even electric toothbrushes for kids. And if you have trouble convincing your little ones to brush up every morning and night, an action-packed handheld tool might be just the motivation they need. Children may brush, but the accuracy of their brushing, and the length of it, may leave a lot to be desired. The hard-to-reach places are more likely to get the brushing they need, and your kids will learn to love the act of brushing twice a day so it will be an important responsibility that they’re carrying out rather than a chore they’re being told to do.
