The Great Toothbrush Debate: Manual vs Electric

When it comes to brushing your teeth the choice between a manual and electric toothbrush may seem trivial but it's surprisingly a big debate in dentistry! Both have their own benefits but which one is the best for your oral health?

Manual toothbrush are the classic choice as they are easy to find, affordable, come in various styles and sizes, portable, don't need charging, give you full control over brushing pressure and with the right technique can help you achieve a great clean. However, you would need to be consistent and brush for two full minutes which may be hard to keep track of for some people.

On the other hand, electric toothbrushes have features such as timers, pressure sensors and different brushing modes. The vibrating/rotating brush heads do a lot of the work for you which may be suitable for people with limited mobility or those prone to brushing their teeth really hard.

In conclusion, it isn't about which one is better but about how you use it. Both options can be equally effective when you brush with proper technique: two minutes, twice a day. That said, I personally believe electric toothbrushes have the competitive advantage thanks to their built-in timers and superior plaque removal abilities. However, at the end of the day it's all about what works best for you!

So what's you choice: Team Manual or Team Electric?
