Electric toothbrush or regular toothbrush: which is better?
The truth is, both can do a great job when used correctly and consistently. Electric toothbrushes may make it easier to remove plaque and keep brushing time consistent, especially for kids, patients with braces, or anyone who tends to brush too hard. A regular toothbrush can still be very effective with good technique, gentle pressure, and two full minutes of brushing.
No matter which one you choose, the best toothbrush is the one you’ll use every day.
