Benefits of the Electric Toothbrush

03 Nov, 2016 |

The electric toothbrush has altered the way that both kids and adults brush their teeth and maintain their oral hygiene each day. The product is effective at removing plaque and brushing at a higher speed compared to the use of a manual toothbrush. When switching to the electric tool, there are a few benefits that come with frequent us of the product.

Prevent Cavities

Electric toothbrushes are effective at preventing cavities because they brush the teeth for a longer period of time and are more through. The head of the brush is capable of reaching the back of the teeth to ensure that each area of the mouth is thoroughly cleaned to reduce the risk of tooth decay.

Whiter Teeth

Your teeth will become whiter over time with frequent use of an electric toothbrush due to the number of strokes that are made with the tool. Electric toothbrushes make an average of 300 strokes per minute, making it easy to remove stains or discoloration that have developed on the teeth. You'll have a naturally brighter smile without using harmful chemicals or products.

Added Convenience

Electric toothbrushes are easier to use, especially for children who may not be thorough with their oral hygiene. You'll have an easier time brushing your teeth without having to give too much attention to the task because the toothbrush will do all of the work for you. You can continue to clean your teeth and remove the plaque without too much work involved, which makes it easy to brush when you're tired late at night or early in the morning. Kids as young as two years of age are capable of using an electric toothbrush if can hold the device for several minutes while keeping their mouth open and placing it on each part of the teeth.

Healthier Gums

You can reduce the risk of gum disease by using an electric toothbrush, which gently massages the gums with a minimal amount of pressure that is applied. This can prevent pockets from developing in the gums and will prevent bleeding that can occur.
