Dental hygiene has been gaining prominence as people learn about its importance and electric toothbrushes have become equally popular in this regard. They are much better when compared to their manual counterparts, as they create an oscillatory motion of the head, which is generated from electric power and thus attain a greater cleaning effect.

Electric toothbrushes are capable of high powered stain removal, which translates in far better removal of plaque and thus whiter teeth. An electric toothbrush moves faster for deeper teeth cleaning and it penetrates under the gum line, helping in reducing gingivitis. It requires less pressure to work than a manual tooth brush, thus leaving the gum tissue with minimal damage while brushing.

A toothbrush works best for people suffering from arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and other conditions. As the rotating head of the electric toothbrush does all the brushing work, the use of the hands is minimal. Selecting the right kind of toothbrush is very important and certain things should be kept in mind when doing so.

The head must be right for you and people having braces should select a smaller brush head. These electric toothbrushes need recharging, so select compact chargers that consume less space. There are options of different power settings in these toothbrushes so people with sensitive gums should select ones with low power. The heads need to be changed at regular intervals, so before you buy a particular brand, ensure that the heads are easily available.

New electric tooth brushes, like the Philips Sonicare that have been introduced in the market use sonic technology where the vibrations of the brush head are much faster and this leads to a thorough cleansing effect. One also has the option of a rotating brush which works in a circulation motion or a sliding tooth brush that moves up and down. Electric tooth brushes also feature a power module ranging from low, medium and high.

Most of the present day electric toothbrushes are equipped with a built in two minute timer feature and this has a 30-second beep, which is the signal to change to another area of the mouth to clean.

Prior to opting for an electric toothbrush, it is advisable to consult your dentist as he can examine the uniqueness of your gums and accordingly prescribe an electric toothbrush that will be the most suitable for you.
