Is it better to use a manual or an electric toothbrush?



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 cleaning device or should I just keep my money and buy something more useful?

The efficacy of tooth brushing with a electric toothbrush is put under question by the scientists mostly because several studies have shown that Electric Toothbrushes were only slightly better than manual ones. But all of the studies undertaken have considered that the manual brushing was done in a proper fashion and for a proper period of time, when in fact few people have a good brushing technique. Considering that most people only rarely brush their teeth accordingly, most dentists recommend rechargeable electric toothbrushes for their patients. So, in the end it depends on how confident you are on your brushing technique: if you think that you’re doing it properly then don’t upgrade, if you’re not that confident, then go for the electric toothbrush.

I realize that after some months using Commission Blueprint 2 that it was and still is the best IM product I have ever purchased without any doubts.

To this day the guys who created it are still sharing new tools with us purchasers that is shooting our sites into the top ten of Google with somewhat of great ease. If you want to read more about my use of this tool, visit Commission Blueprint 2 Review here.

    I have been using an electric toothbrush for 3 days and can already see a difference in the cleaning of my teeth.
    The electric toothbrushes are supposedly supposed to clean up to 2x more plaque than a manual toothbrush!
    Hope I helped! :D

    My personal experience is that if you brush properly with manual, then it is better, but if you are one of those people who don’t really brush thoroughly, then electric ones would be better for you. :)
