My Ratings on Electric toothbrushes vs manual toothbrushes

Before 1961, electric toothbrushes were toothbrushes with a cloth attached that had to be plugged into an outlet. Many feared being electrocuted, causing sales of electric toothbrushes to never reach full potential. The powered toothbrush's faith was sealed as the most trenchant method of in house dental care. That was denaturized when the General Electric Company (GE) released the world's first cordless powered toothbrush.

Since then, the electric toothbrush market has exploded. Additions to the features have included; the rotary action (circular motion) released in 1987, the 2 minute timer, the circular action head, the quadpacer, the LCD screen concealed on the shaft, a pressure sensor, and the wireless LCD screen found on the Oral B 9900 Triumph with smart guide.

All the while, the power toothbrush has remained nearly the same since the nylon bristles were used on the toothbrush in the 1930's. Changes have been restricted to the shape of the head and shaft.

Throughout this, the speaking still prevails, which one of these digit is more trenchant towards sound oral health?

Before I go into fluffing up this whole article with facts and details, I'm just going to make it plain and simple; studies published in the American Journal of Dentistry and the British Dental Journal concur that the electric toothbrush is more trenchant at ridding plaque and preventing gingivitis then regular brushes.

When you think about it, it makes tons of sense. A human can reach 100-300 strokes per minute with a manual toothbrush as opposed to the Oral B Triumph 9900, which gets 41,000 strokes per minute. You'd think that with that amount of strokes per minute electric toothbrush users would be more prone to TBA (toothbrush abrasion). Just the opposite in fact, manual users tend to scrub harder feeling that they are doing the right thing by adding some "elbow grease." In addition, many powered brushes today come with a self shut off timer after 2 minutes with 30 second signals to switch quadrants. This gives users a better perspective of the time they've taken and how such they have less. Studies show that regular brush users average as little as 30 seconds per brushing session, substantially below the 2 minutes recommended by the ADA.

With the numerous correlations related to oral health and hunch disease being proven left and right these days, oral health is becoming a top priority. My suggestion would be to invest in an electric toothbrush as they have been proven to be more effective. Who knows, I don't mean to be drastic, but it could save your life one day!
