Electrical or Manual Toothbrush: Which is Better?

Electrical or Manual Toothbrush: Which is Better?

Electrical or Manual Toothbrush: Which is Better?

January 25, 2020 Dental Care, Dental Hygiene, General FAQ No Comments

This is one of our most frequently asked questions! Our answer? It’s not the brush that matters, it’s who’s doing the brushing.

Let’s break that down. The goal of tooth brushing is to remove plaque from your teeth on a consistent (daily!) basis, so that we prevent the buildup of tartar which leads to tooth decay.

A manual toothbrush is a great and inexpensive tool that helps us do just that. Make sure to brush two minutes per day, twice a day. Gently brush ALL surfaces and make sure to reach those back molars.

For some people, it can be difficult to brush properly with a manual toothbrush. Those with some form of motor disability or arthritis may benefit from using an electric toothbrush. An electric brush can also be helpful for kids or anyone with braces.

The same tooth brushing rules apply – two times per day, two minutes at a time. One advantage of an electric toothbrush is that some have a built-in timer. If you’re one of those quick brushers who has a hard time making it to two minutes, consider using a timed electric brush.

At your next dental visit, ask us whether we think you would do better with a manual or electric brush! And, as always, don’t forget to floss!

    Kenneth S.
  • Good service. Now it’s time to save up for my next appointment. I was surprised to see that the mouth guard costs more than my fillings. After learning that I have teeth that like to clinch, I’ve been much more aware of it and avoiding it more frequent. Thank you.
