• Brushing your teeth is important. You already
  know that (hopefully). But when it comes to an
  electric toothbrush vs a regular toothbrush,
  which tool is best for the job? We look at the
  pros and cons of both in this post.

WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF AN ELECTRIC
TOOTHBRUSH?

• Pros
• Electric toothbrushes are effective at removing
  plaque. In fact, they remove more plaque than
  manual brushes. For people with orthodontic
  devices like braces, electric brushes make
  reaching hard-to-reach areas easier. Those with
  medical problems that limit mobility also find
  electric brushes convenient, as a lot less work
  is required.
• Other advantages of electric brushes are that
  they come with built-in timers (useful for
  ensuring you brush for long enough) and encourage
  good oral hygiene in children, who tend to find
  them more exciting to use.

• Cons
• The main con of electric toothbrushes is that
  they cost more than regular toothbrushes. The
  brushes can be relatively expensive, and then you
  still need to purchase new brush heads every few
  months or so. Another disadvantage with the
  electric toothbrush vs regular toothbrush is that
  it takes up more space in your bathroom and
  luggage.

WHAT ARE THE PROS AND CONS OF A REGULAR
TOOTHBRUSH?

• Pros
• Manual toothbrushes are widely available and
  affordable. A regular brush will typically set
  you back a few dollars, and there arent any
  additional parts to purchase. Moreover, manual
  brushes take up little space and will remove the
  bacteria and plaque that cause tooth decay and
  gum disease if youre brushing regularly and
  properly.

• Cons
• It takes some effort and skill to brush back and
  forth in a circular motion repeatedly with a
  manual toothbrush, which can be inconvenient. If
  you brush too hard or too soft or use poor
  technique, then you could potentially damage your
  gums and teeth or not clean them thoroughly. This
  is something one needs to be mindful of.
• Another con regular toothbrushes dont come with
  timers you need to keep looking at a clock to
  make sure you brush for 2 minutes. Finally,
  purchasing a manual can be confusing and
  time-consuming, and brushes must be replaced
  often.

SO WHICH TOOTHBRUSH IS BETTER?

• Both electric and manual toothbrushes are great
  for keeping teeth and mouths clean. However,
  electric brushes offer more pros and fewer cons.
  Verdict on electric toothbrush vs regular
  toothbrush electric is better, for most.
