Electric Toothbrush vs. Manual Toothbrush
Why switch from your manual toothbrush to an electric one? Did you know that manual brushes leave up to 50% of plaque behind? Plaque is a very sticky, colorless deposit of bacteria that regularly forms on your teeth. The best way to remove it is to attack it from different directions. When you use a manual toothbrush you’re only getting the outer surface of the teeth. Our electric toothbrush has a unique shape, which resembles a dental tool, oscillating, rotating, and pulsating to cover a larger surface area therefore removing 100% more plaque. A recent Cochrane Collaboration concluded that the oscillating, rotating technology of Oral-B electric toothbrushes was the only type that consistently reduced plaque and gingivitis more effectively than a manual toothbrush in both the short and long term. So when deciding whether or not to switch from a manual toothbrush to an electric toothbrush, remember that with an electric toothbrush you’ll receive a superior clean every time.
