Many people ask the question: ’should I use an electric toothbrush?’, or ‘are electric toothbrushes better than regular toothbrushes?’.
The short answer: Yes.
The long answer: There are many benefits to using an electric toothbrush versus a manual brush. However some people may find that a manual brush will suffice. Electric brushes eliminate certain problems which can arise with a manual brush; such as over scrubbing that can result in toothbrush abbrasion, abfraction (notches in the teeth), gingival recession, and/or tooth sensitivity. Once you decide on an electric toothbrush your dental hygienist can show you how to properly use it to maximize it’s/and your cleaning potential.
