I was telling a friend about the Braun Oral B electric toothbrush which I had recently bought to replace the Braun sonic toothbrush which I had been using. He was considering buying a Braun electric toothbrush for his son but was unsure whether a special childrens electric toothbrush was available or not. Lots of people these days use electric toothbrushes to keep their teeth and smile nice and bright. They are definitely better and dentists recommend them as the best means of keeping your teeth clean and free from plaque and its damaging effects. Yet simply purchasing an electric toothbrush doesn't guarantee great results. You also need to make sure you brush at least twice daily, spend at least two minutes a session brushing and use the proper brushing technique. Electric toothbrushes win hands down over manual brushes when it comes to cleaning ability. The electric version's whirring bristles remove plaque better and faster. Their more advanced designs are also able to get at hard-to-clean areas like the backs of molars and the gum line, thus helping to prevent cavities and gingivitis. It is also easy to brush too vigorously with a manual toothbrush and injure your gums, possibly even causing some gum recession. In this way you can also remove enamel from the tooth surface, causing sensitivity to cold, heat and other stimuli. With an electric toothbrush, you simply hold the brush and let its moving bristles do the work. You do reposition the brush over different parts of your mouth, but you're not supposed to be vigorously moving the brush back and forth, and you definitely shouldn't be applying pressure. Some models even have sensors that will automatically reduce the power if you start brushing too hard. People who have physical conditions (such as arthritis, limited mobility in their hands or arms or manual dexterity problems) that make it difficult to use a manual toothbrush should consider using an electric toothbrush. Electric toothbrushes have larger handles, which are easier to grip and their powered brushes do the cleaning for you, especially in the tricky areas that require fine motor skills to get at, such as the backs of molars and behind your upper and lower front teeth. Many people feel electric toothbrushes are more environmentally friendly. You would go through a lot of "regular" toothbrushes (the heads of which aren't recyclable) before you dispose of an electric brush, most of which use replaceable heads. You probably think you brush your teeth for two minutes, but if you timed yourself, you might be surprised that it is often less than you think. This is why a toothbrush with timer built in is good, especially for children who are notorious for not brushing long enough. If you are thinking about buying an electric toothbrush for children then are several advantages such as the novelty, the fun shapes and designs and the timer features which make brushing an easier experience and result in good dental hygiene habits for the future too.
