Electric versus Manual Toothbrushes

A number of studies have been conducted to determine if electric toothbrushes are more effective than manual brushes. Results show that overall, electric brushes are better at controlling plaque and thoroughly cleaning the teeth. However, not all electric brushes are the same. We offer two of the best one the market, the Oral-B and Philips Sonicare toothbrushes. They are available below retail cost, and if you are interested in purchasing one our staff will be glad to demonstrate how they work.
Our dentists recommend the Oral-B toothbrush, which has:

• a small head to help clean the hard-to-reach areas of your mouth
• a built-in timer to ensure you brush for the proper amount of time
• a pressure sensor that alerts when you are brushing too hard

Although it is possible to do a good brushing using a manual brush, they simply cannot mirror the fine movements of an electric brush. Ultimately, electric brushes leave you with a cleaner and healthier mouth. Visit Our Site Today!!
