Electric or Manual?"},"content":{"rendered":"\n

Are electric toothbrushes better than manual ones? That\u2019s the question debated among many dentists, and the answer to that question: It all depends on what kind of \u201cbrusher\u201d you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you have too much plaque buildup and brush too hard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You might want to switch to an electric toothbrush. There are times when patients want to do a perfect job of brushing their teeth, which causes them to brush too hard on the gums. As a result, it can cause gum recession and abrasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The electric toothbrush is less dependent on correct brushing technique, which will do all the work for you without harming your gums and teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

If your brushing technique is flawless<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your manual toothbrush will do just fine. If you are following a good oral hygiene and see your hygienist regularly, there is no need to switch to an electric toothbrush. A manual toothbrush can effectively get rid of the plaque in your smile as long you maintain a proper brushing technique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you are brushing, aim the toothbrush bristles at the gum line and move the brush in a circular, gentle motion. This will sweep the plaque away from your gums, promoting supreme oral health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
