Toothbrush Recommendations: Manual or Electric?

Both manual and electric toothbrushes can be effective at removing plaque if they are used correctly. However, we recommend using an electric toothbrush for its larger handle size, small brush head, and automatic bristle action that takes the guesswork out of getting those bristles into all the nooks and crannies in your mouth.

Features to Look for in a Toothbrush:

Regardless of whether you choose a manual or electric toothbrush, we always recommend a brush with soft bristles. Soft bristles are gentle on your gums and flexible enough to bend into hard-to-reach places. A comfortable grip is also important. If you have issues with manual dexterity, consider a brush with a wider grip handle.

Sometimes a toothbrush alone isn’t enough. Depending on the arrangement of your teeth, you may benefit from using smaller tools to reach the really tough places. You can find many of these additional brushes in the pharmacy or grocery store toothbrush section.

Remember to Floss! it is important that you don’t forget to floss regularly!

We’ll cover more on that in another post.
