According to Dr Yatharth Bhatia - dental science consultant at Fortis Hospital, Gurugram, switching to an electric brush can be a significant improvement in oral health. Here are 3 reasons to use an electric brush.
More effective tooth cleaning
Electric brushes are designed with rotary brushes and modern vibration technology, helping to carefully clean difficult-to-reach areas such as the face in the jaw or near the gums - places that are often overlooked when using a brush.
According to a survey by the American Dental Association, more than 80% of electric toothbrush users have significantly improved oral health. Studies in the American Journal of Dentistry and the British Journal of Dentistry also show that electric brushes bring outstanding cleaning efficiency.
Ensure standard toothbrushing time
Most people only brush their teeth for 30 seconds to 1 minute - much shorter than the standard time of 2 minutes and 30 seconds. This causes teeth to not be cleaned thoroughly. An electric toothbrush has a built-in appointment set, making it easy to control and maintain brushing time long enough, ensuring clean and healthy teeth.
Reduced risk of gum damage
Many people have the habit of brushing their teeth too hard, easily causing bleeding and damage to gums. An electric brush helps fix this because you don't need to use force - just hold it lightly, the device will automatically move and clean your teeth gently. Thanks to that, gums are better protected, reducing the risk of inflammation or pain when brushing teeth.
