I have an electronic toothbrush and i was wondering if you apply any force on it when you’re brushing your teeth or do you just make contact with your teeth? Only enough pressure to hold it to the tooth. My dentist said the better brushes have an automatic cutoff switch. If you use those things [...]

I’ve been advised to get one of these, but the range in prices is staggering. Can someone tell me what I should look for? It’s healthy teeth/mouth I’m interested in, rather than whitening. Thanks. I switch from both manual to electric from time to time (depending on when the battery runs out and if I’m [...]

Seems like a rip off to me…. They can be very beneficial. They are ideal for people with poor dexterity, orthodontics, or who are lazy about brushing with a manual tooth brush.

My expensive electric toothbrush kept breaking so my dad won’t buy new heads for it which are really expensive. Is there a drugstore brand that’s powerful and preferrably durable?

They probably do clean better, but often the bigger issue is how often you change your brush or brush-head. This should be done 3 monthly, most people fail to chance them often enough.

too much vibratiosn can weaken gums? My dentist recomends an electric toothbrush so I’d say they’re alright.

From what I hear, gentle brushing is always encouraged , yet with electric toothbrushes I noticed that the bristles are not that soft. It got me wondering that the thousands of rotations per minute could cause even more wearing down of the enamel. I brush my teeth around 6 times a day, and I’m worried. [...]

I’m considering to upgrade my manual toothbrush to an electric one but I’m not sure if it’s really worth it. Is it true that electric toothbrushes are generally better than manual ones or is it just a marketing hype to get you to buy the latest products out there? Should I invest in a superior [...]
