Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush

Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush
2
How do you think an electric toothbrush stands up
to its conventional counterpart?
3
Weve gathered the thoughts from experts to find
out which one is better the good, old-fashioned
or the state-of-the-art.
4
The electric type is becoming widely used and
popular these days.
5
Family dentist and manufacturers say this
advanced variety offers superior and exceptional
dental cleaning. But how does it really compare
to manual tooth brushing?
6
The goal in using a toothbrush is to get rid of
the plaque as well as stimulate the gums, this
was explained by John Ictech-Cassis, DDS, DMD.
7
He is a clinical associate professor at the
Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of
Dental Medicine.
8
When asked about his thoughts between the better
of the two, he said, Most toothbrushes will keep
the teeth clean if you know how to use them.
9
Does that mean there really is no substantial
difference between an old-fashioned brush and its
advanced, electronic equivalent?
10
Electric Brush
11
According to Thomas J. Salinas, DDS, an electric
brush is a wonderful alternative to manual
brushing.
12
However, that is not to say using a conventional
toothbrush is not any good.
13
For people with arthritis or struggling with a
physical condition that restricts their mobility,
using an electric brush is a great idea because
with its manual counterpart, cleaning the teeth
may be difficult.
14
With the state-of-the-art variety, these people
dont have to exert effort in brushing their
teeth. The devices bristle movement is enough to
get rid of the plaque from teeth.
15
When choosing the electric type, look for one
thats comfortable and easy to use.
16
Conventional Toothbrush
17
Manual brushing is the preferred mode for many
people. There are a lot of advantages to opting
for this.
18
When choosing the electric type, look for one
thats comfortable and easy to use.
19
For one, weve been using the conventional type
for years.
20
There is familiarity and a good track record to
back it up.
21
Another advantage when you opt for a conventional
toothbrush is that is very accessible and
inexpensive.
22
You can easily find one at your local grocery
store or over-the-counter.
23
In fact, majority of dental health specialists
give them away to patients.
24
Dr. Ictech-Cassis noted that electric
toothbrushes may be not be affordable for many.
25
He added that it may be the reason why the
conventional medium is still widely used despite
the emergence of these state-of-the-art dental
cleaning devices.
26
Whats more, if youre travelling, conventional
toothbrushes are convenient and easy to pack.
They are very lightweight and portable, not bulky
like the electric ones.
27
With a manual brush, you can easily feel how much
pressure youre putting on your teeth and gums.
28
With the electric type, you cant feel that. This
can be particularly useful if you are suffering
from gum disease.
29
Too much pressure can damage your gums. Excessive
pressure can also wear away the enamel of your
teeth, which can cause pain and increase the risk
of tooth decay.
30
Using a manual toothbrush can also be good
training for kids. It teaches them on how to
safely and efficiently brush the teeth.
31
Electric Brushes Are Highly Recommended in
Certain Instances
32
For people who arent good at using the manual
medium or do not possess the manual dexterity
needed, the electric variety is a wonderful
alternative to the old-fashioned ones.
