August 29, 2015, Crawford and O brein

More and more people are taking advantage of everything that electric toothbrushes bring to the table today than ever before.

Dentists all over the world are recommending people switch to electric toothbrushes if at all possible, and while it means you’ll toothbrush is still going to get the job done, the fact of the matter is your always leaving gunk, grime, and other filth and build up on your teeth when you aren’t cleaning with an electric toothbrush.

Of course, getting your hands on even the very best electric toothbrush isn’t going to be able to do all of the “heavy lifting” for you as far as oral hygiene is concerned. You’re going to need to practice solid brushing habits and the appropriate brushing technique if you’re going to make the most out of an electric toothbrush, and unlock all of the advantages we outlined below.

Electric toothbrushes offer the deepest clean

There is no way of getting around it – you just aren’t ever going to be able to clean your teeth quite as thoroughly or as completely with a manual toothbrush as you will with an electric one.

For starters, the electric motor is going to power those cleaning, brushing, and buffing pads on the end of your toothbrush so that they rotate a lot faster than you’d ever be able to reproduce on your own, and speed – not to mention the friction that it generates – is going to help you pull a lot more off of your teeth than you would have been able to otherwise.

You’ll never have to worry about brushing too hard ever again

Believe it or not, it’s definitely possible to brush your teeth too hard and too vigorously, actually making your smile worse when you think you’re doing everything in your power to make it better.

Electric toothbrushes are set at speed ranges that will give you the ability to clean your teeth perfectly every single time, all without ever running the risk of “over brushing”. This keeps your teeth in tip top condition, practically guarantees that you won’t have to wear out your arm while brushing, and makes sure that you aren’t ever damaging your long-term smile with decisions you’re making today.

Built-in timers make sure you brush for the right amount of time

This benefit is more of a “convenience feature” than anything else, but it’s definitely going to be advantageous when you’re looking to brush your teeth in a hurry and want to make sure that you’re still “going the distance”.

Rather than flip an hourglass over before you start to brush your teeth every morning and every night, you’re going to want to take advantage of the built-in timers that are included in just about every single a toothbrush made today. These timers run for anywhere between 30 seconds and 60 seconds or more, and take advantage of tooth brushing timing schedules shared by the American Dental Association.

You’re going to be able to make sure that you brush your teeth for exactly the right amount of time from here on out with zero headache or hassle.
