Why Choose an Electric Toothbrush?
We all love having a great smile. This definitely requires time and effort though! Therefore wouldn't you jump at the chance to make this process easier? Notice the answers to the question, “Why choose an Electric Toothbrush?”
1. Removes More Plaque:
Plaque build up on teeth not only looks gross but also feels gross- and for good reason! If left on the teeth, it can eventually cause dental issues such as gum disease and/or tooth decay. Gladly though, with proper brushing and flossing, we can prevent these problems. An electric toothbrush really takes the prize in this aspect since its head spins faster and more thoroughly than your hand can with a manual toothbrush.
2. Easier on Your Gums:
Brushing too hard can cause recession and even the breakdown of enamel. If you use an electric toothbrush, you will notice how it really does all the work for you. Some are even equipped with pressure sensors to alert you when you are pressing too hard.
3. Built-In Timers:
The recommended time for brushing our teeth is 2 minutes. But how many people really remember to time themselves? If you don't, you may benefit from the convenience of an electric toothbrush! Thankfully they have built-in timers so you get a proper brushing each and every time.
4. Easier to Maneuver:
Carpal tunnel, arthritis, or other problems that cause limited mobility can really make teeth brushing difficult. As was mentioned above however, one simply has to hold the electric toothbrush as it does all the work. This means less movement of the hand, fingers, and wrist for its user.
