Question

How is an electric tooth brush better than a regular brush?

Answer 1

If you are a perfect brusher, then maybe it doesn't make a difference.  But I have thin enamel due to over-brushing and other issues (I grind my teeth, and got them whitened as well) and when I use an electric toothbrush it is easier to clean without pressing hard because the brush head spins without me needing to apply any force.  I think the rotating action of an electric brush is also more effective than the back-and-forth action of a regular brush, especially at stimulating your gums (important for avoiding gum disease).  The electric brush also makes it easier to brush for a full two minutes, because my brush beeps every 30 seconds to remind me to move quadrants.

Answer 2

hehehe...you can use the electric one for "other" things as well.

j/k

Answer 3

its not, its the way you work the brush in your mouth.
