A common question that’s frequently asked is if you should be using a manual or electric toothbrush. Today, we will be breaking down which brush is right for you. MANUAL TOOTHBRUSHES • Pros: These toothbrushes are easily accessible and can be found at any supermarket. So if you forget your toothbrush or accidentally drop it somewhere and can no longer use it, you can get another one quickly. Manual toothbrushes are also very affordable. • Cons: Since you need to maneuver the toothbrush inside your mouth, you may not reach certain areas. In addition, you may be brushing your teeth too hard, which can hurt gums and teeth. ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSHES • Pros: Electric toothbrushes can remove more plaque on your teeth, gums, and hard-to-reach places because the bristles vibrate and rotate. They also ensure you are spending enough time brushing because some have built-in timers that cut the toothbrush off after a certain time. It’s also great for those with limited mobility, such as carpal tunnel and arthritis. • Cons: While manual toothbrushes are inexpensive and easily accessible, electric toothbrushes are not. Prices for electric toothbrushes can vary depending on the brand you want, and the replaceable brush heads can also be costly. Sometimes it’s difficult to find the replacement you need because some stores may not carry a compatible brand. According to the American Dental Association, both toothbrushes are great for cleaning your teeth and gums and removing plaque. So the toothbrush you choose depends on what’s best for you and your needs.
