Q&A: When You Have No Idea If An Electric Toothbrush Is For You

Posted on October 18th, 2018

You might find that you wake up one fine day and decide you are going to join the many individuals who have set their manual toothbrushes aside as they become electric toothbrush users. Why not? This advanced technology must mean better oral health, easier dental care, and it will make you feel like you’re really doing something beneficial for yourself. Right? Or, are you just convincing yourself that this is a move that will advance your dental hygiene to the next level? The truth is, this is one area of smile protection that has more to do with you and your unique needs and wants than any right-or-wrong answers. Learn more with question and answers from our Saxonburg, PA team!

Questions and Answers

Question: Isn’t it just a fact that an electric toothbrush is better for my oral health than a manual toothbrush? I figured this is the case just from the things I’ve heard about them.

Answer: This is actually not a given fact. Instead, the efficacy of the brush you choose for cleaning your smile is all about which one happens to work for you. By trying them both to determine which is best and which you prefer, you’ll have your answer.

Question: I’m someone who struggles with gum recession because I tend to use a lot of power when I brush. Does that mean I should probably not try an electric toothbrush? I’m sort of worried it will be too strong for my smile and I need to just practice gentler care.

Answer: You may be shocked to hear it but protecting your gum health and overall oral health is often easier when you use a brush that’s electric. Why? Well, you are already well aware of the power it provides, so it makes it very easy to practice your care in a delicate fashion.

Question: How do I know which electric toothbrush to buy? I see so many different options, brands, prices, kits, and more, that I’m not really sure where to begin!

Answer: Our team is happy to talk this over with you the next time we see you. Much of the choice that you make for yourself relies on preference. Remember, it’s not about price or fancy features. It’s about what works! One helpful tip? Select a model accepted by the American Dental Association (ADA) and you’ll know it’s going to be effective.
