You’ve heard the buzz, and now it’s time to get your own electric toothbrush. Electric toothbrushes are supposed to make your oral care easier and more effective. But what’s the difference between an electric toothbrush and a manual toothbrush? How do you know which one is right for you? Let’s break down this complex topic in a few words so you can make an informed decision about whether or not to ditch your old toothbrush for a newer one.
What You Need to Know Before Buying an Electric Toothbrush
Before purchasing an electric toothbrush, it is important that you know what features and qualities are important to you.
First, determine your budget: how much are you willing to spend? Then, look at what type of toothbrush best suits your needs and preferences. For example, some people prefer manual brushes while others enjoy the convenience of an electric device. The last step is to find the one that fits all of these factors.
How to use it
-
Use the correct toothbrush head for your teeth.
-
Choose a brush that best fits your mouth and the angle of the toothbrush.
-
Make sure your toothbrush is wet before you start brushing your teeth.
-
Brush using small circular motions, covering all areas of the teeth and gums (including the tongue), as this will help remove plaque and freshen breath.
Don't forget to brush your tongue! It's an often-overlooked part of oral hygiene that can make all the difference in keeping your teeth clean and healthy, not to mention that bad breath bacteria are less likely to build up over time... yuck!
Comparing Electric and Sonic Options
Sonic toothbrush is a type of manual toothbrush that uses ultrasonic vibrations to clean teeth. The sound waves produced by the device remove plaque and debris from your teeth, leaving them clean and white.
An electric toothbrush is powered by an electric motor, which rapidly oscillates back and forth at high speeds to remove plaque. This type of toothbrush can also come in the form of an electric rotating head (sometimes called "sonic"), which vibrates at much higher speeds than other types of electric brushes.
How much do electric toothbrushes cost?
Electric toothbrushes range in price from $20 to $150. If you're buying an electric toothbrush for your child or someone who has difficulty brushing manually, be prepared to spend more than you would for a standard manual toothbrush. The average price of an adult electric toothbrush is around $60 to $80, while most children's models cost around $20 to $30.
However, some high-end models can cost upwards of $100 and are designed specifically for people with special needs, such as sensitivity or limited dexterity. If you have braces or implants in your mouth, there are brushes that will help keep the bristles clean and free of debris; these tend to be more expensive than other types of brushes (but they’re still less expensive than professional cleaning services).
How to clean your electric toothbrush
-
Use warm water to clean the toothbrush.
-
Store your toothbrush in a brush head holder that is held upright, not leaning against a sink or cabinet. This will help keep it dry and bacteria-free.
-
Replace your electric toothbrush every three months, or whenever you notice signs of wear on the bristles.
-
Don't use the same electric toothbrush for more than three months without replacing it, even if you take care to clean the brush heads daily with antibacterial wipes or other products specially designed for this purpose (which we recommend). A new brush head can help remove food particles located deep between the teeth, where our manual brushing can't reach!
People with sensitive gums or who wear braces or other oral devices may benefit from an electric toothbrush.
Electric toothbrush is a good option for people with sensitive gums. Electric toothbrush is a good option for people with braces. Electric toothbrush is a good option for people who wear night guards. Electric toothbrush is a good option for people who wear retainers.
