Should You Switch to an Electric Toothbrush?
Electric toothbrushes offer many benefits
If you’re considering making the switch to an electric toothbrush, you’ll probably end up being happy with the decision.

This is because they offer many benefits that go beyond the capabilities of a manual toothbrush. Electric toothbrushes are:

An electric toothbrush can put your brushing skills to shame, with some models able to achieve 30,000 strokes per minute! This means a more effective and efficient cleaning with almost no work on your part.
Easy. Like we mentioned, electric toothbrushes take most of the work out of brushing. Because they rotate so quickly and have the ability to reach difficult parts of your mouth, The best part? All you have to do is apply pressure evenly (make sure not to press too hard!) as you gently glide the toothbrush across all surfaces of your teeth.
Efficient. An electric toothbrush makes it easy to keep your teeth clean and do a great job at preventing bad breath and gum disease and fighting gingivitis.

If you care about your oral health, it’s probably worth taking the plunge into electric toothbrush territory. They make life so much easier that we have a feeling you won’t regret making the switch.
