Are electric toothbrushes better than manual toothbrushes?

In these modern times, even standard household objects like toothbrushes are equipped with advanced technology. With features such as built-in timers and different speed settings, it's no wonder that electric toothbrushes keep your mouth overall healthier vs. a regular manual toothbrush. However, skepticism still remains as to whether purchasing an electric toothbrush is really worth it. Are electric toothbrushes better? Here's what you need to know to end the electric toothbrush vs. manual debate.

Electric Toothbrush vs. Manual

Clinical studies have shown that electric toothbrushes with rotation-oscillation movement are more effective at removing plaque and help to keep your mouth overall healthier vs. regular manual toothbrushes. For Oral-B, the rotation-oscillation-pulsation movement has been standard in their electric toothbrushes since 1998, and the results speak for themselves: Oral-B electric toothbrushes `remove up to 100% more plaque versus a regular manual toothbrush. While brushing, the round brush head pulsates to break up plaque and rotates to clear it away. Know more about the comparison between electric toothbrush vs manual toothbrush.

Electric Toothbrush Benefits Manual Toothbrushes Don’t Have

One of the biggest issues with a manual toothbrush is difficulty adhering to the recommended brushing time of two minutes or following the technique recommended by a dental professional. This results in a less than ideal tooth cleaning. Electric toothbrushes from Oral-B feature two-minute timers to make sure your teeth are getting the dental professional recommended clean. The timer features a 30-second alert that tells you when to switch the area (quadrant) you're brushing. This ensures that every part of your mouth gets the attention it needs to maintain a superior clean. To protect your gums while brushing, some Oral-B oscillating-rotating-pulsating electric toothbrushes are also designed with a built-in pressure sensor to notify you if you're using too much force while brushing.

The Value of an Electric Toothbrush

Looking at the full spectrum of benefits offered by an electric toothbrush can give you a clear picture of the value it can provide in the long term. For starters, most electric toothbrushes have affordable replacement brush heads, and you can buy different types of brush heads for a cleaning experience customized to your oral health needs.

Another factor to consider is that using an electric toothbrush keeps your mouth healthier vs. a regular manual toothbrush. Getting a superior clean doesn’t have to be cost-prohibitive—Oral-B offers cost-effective electric toothbrush options. The Oral-B 2 2000N is a great electric toothbrush for those who are curious to improve their oral health. Oral-B electric toothbrushes are also rechargeable, which means you don't have to spend money on replacement batteries.
