How do you think an electric toothbrush stands up to its conventional counterpart?
![Page 3: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
We’ve gathered the thoughts from experts to find out which one is better: the good, old-fashioned or the state-of-the-art.
![Page 4: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
The electric type is becoming widely used and popular these days.

Family dentist and manufacturers say this advanced variety offers superior and exceptional dental cleaning. But how does it really compare to manual tooth brushing?
![Page 6: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The goal in using a toothbrush is to get rid of the plaque as well as stimulate the gums, this was explained by John Ictech-Cassis, DDS, DMD.
![Page 7: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
He is a clinical associate professor at the Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine.

When asked about his thoughts between the better of the two, he said, “Most toothbrushes will keep the teeth clean if you know how to use them.

Does that mean there really is no substantial difference between an old-fashioned brush and its advanced, electronic equivalent?

Electric Brush
![Page 11: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
According to Thomas J. Salinas, DDS, an electric brush is a wonderful alternative to manual brushing.
![Page 12: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
However, that is not to say using a conventional toothbrush is not any good.
![Page 13: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
For people with arthritis or struggling with a physical condition that restricts their mobility, using an electric brush is a great idea because with its manual counterpart, cleaning the teeth may be difficult.
![Page 14: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
With the state-of-the-art variety, these people don’t have to exert effort in brushing their teeth. The device’s bristle movement is enough to get rid of the plaque from teeth.

When choosing the electric type, look for one that’s comfortable and easy to use.
![Page 16: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Conventional Toothbrush
![Page 17: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Manual brushing is the preferred mode for many people. There are a lot of advantages to opting for this.
![Page 18: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
When choosing the electric type, look for one that’s comfortable and easy to use.
![Page 19: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
For one, we’ve been using the conventional type for years.
![Page 20: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
There is familiarity and a good track record to back it up.
![Page 21: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Another advantage when you opt for a conventional toothbrush is that is very accessible and inexpensive.
![Page 22: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
You can easily find one at your local grocery store or over-the-counter.
![Page 23: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
In fact, majority of dental health specialists give them away to patients.
![Page 24: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Dr. Ictech-Cassis noted that electric toothbrushes may be not be affordable for many.
![Page 25: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
He added that it may be the reason why the conventional medium is still widely used despite the emergence of these state-of-the-art dental cleaning devices.
![Page 26: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
What’s more, if you’re travelling, conventional toothbrushes are convenient and easy to pack. They are very lightweight and portable, not bulky like the electric ones.
![Page 27: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
With a manual brush, you can easily feel how much pressure you’re putting on your teeth and gums.
![Page 28: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
With the electric type, you can’t feel that. This can be particularly useful if you are suffering from gum disease.
![Page 29: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Too much pressure can damage your gums. Excessive pressure can also wear away the enamel of your teeth, which can cause pain and increase the risk of tooth decay.
![Page 30: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Using a manual toothbrush can also be good training for kids. It teaches them on how to safely and efficiently brush the teeth.
![Page 31: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Electric Brushes Are Highly Recommended in Certain Instances
![Page 32: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
For people who aren’t good at using the manual medium or do not possess the manual dexterity needed, the electric variety is a wonderful alternative to the old-fashioned ones.
![Page 33: Electric Toothbrush vs Manual Toothbrush](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062308/568129c4550346895d8c9f83/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
