Power tooth brush Vs manual tooth brush



Power toothbrush and that is for many reasons:


The Cochrane review confirmed that oscillating-rotating technology is more effective at reducing plaque and gingivitis than a manual toothbrush.
-Power toothbrush reduces up to 2 times more plaque than a manual toothbrush.
-Power toothbrush is more gentle on the gum and teeth. Patients are proven to brush nearly three times harder with a manual toothbrush than with a power toothbrush.
-Most manual toothbrushes will need to be replaced within 3 months of usage.Electric toothbrushes head last a lot longer than regular ones.


Toothbrush care:

  1. Thoroughly rinse the toothbrush with running water.
  2. Do not share your toothbrush with others.
  3. Store in an upright position and air dry. Putting  toothbrush in cases or covering the bristles creates a moist environment that can promote the growth of bacteria.
  4. Replace the head of electric toothbrush every 4 or 6 months or when the bristles become frayed or splayed .
