ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH VS MANUAL TOOTHBRUSH

The first toothbrushes that are known to have already been used date from 3,500 BC by the Babylonians and Egyptians, who chewed the ends of small branches until the tip was as soft as a brush. The first toothbrush series produced was created in England in 1780 by William Addis. Later, in 1954, the electric toothbrush would arrive and it was an international success. However, when asked if an electric toothbrush is more effective than a manual toothbrush, the answer depends on which electric or manual toothbrush we use and also how we use it. What is most important when brushing your teeth is how we do it and not so much the toothbrush we use it. It is more effective to have a good cleaning technique with a manual toothbrush than a badly used electric brush. We should persever to learn a good brushing technique, incise on the upper part of each tooth, on the sides, make movements from the gum down to the maxilla and from the gum upwards. Follow accurate paths and do not forget any teeth or mouth corner at least for two minutes. With these tips we will achieve a good oral hygiene with both manual and electric toothbrushes.
