Manual Vs. Electric Toothbrushes
by on Nov.24, 2008, under Health
The debate has now been raging for several years about whether manual or electric toothbrushes are better. I have not taken the time to look at any studies but I can definately give you my opinion on which ones I think are better.
After using a manual toothbrush for almost 20 years and then deciding to try an electric toothbrush I think my opinion is pretty accurate. My opinion is that electric toothbrush, especially Sonicare ones are the best. The reason being is that I have tried both for an extended period of time and my teeth flat out feel cleaner after brushing with an electric toothbrush. Not only this but they feel cleaner despite brushing for about 25% less time.
I have tried both types of toothbrushes and even switched back and forth between them over the last 6 months to be sure that what I felt was true really was true. If you want to get the best possible brushing experience then I suggest you get an electric toothbrush.
