Electric toothbrushes are shown to disrupt and remove bacteria from teeth more effectively than manual toothbrushes due to the way they generate a higher number of brush strokes than the human hand.
To effectively brush with a manual toothbrush, you must brush for 4 minutes versus 2 minutes with a powerbrush.
Regardless of whether you choose an electric or manual toothbrush, make sure it has soft bristles. Soft bristles are less likely to damage your gums or cause bleeding and are just as effective as medium or hard bristles at removing tartar and plaque.
