Electric and manual toothbrushes each have their own benefits. The ADA puts a Seal of Acceptance on any toothbrush, electric or manual, that&#;s proven safe and effective. Read more about the pros and cons and which one might be best for you.
Brushing your teeth is the foundation of good oral care and prevention. According to the American Dental Association (ADA) , both electric and manual toothbrushes are effective at removing oral plaque that causes decay and disease.
Electric toothbrush bristles vibrate or rotate to help you remove plaque buildup from your teeth and gums. The vibration allows for more micro-movements every time you move your toothbrush across your teeth.
A review of studies showed that, in general, electric toothbrushes do decrease more plaque and gingivitis than manual toothbrushes. After three months of use, plaque was reduced by 21 percent and gingivitis by 11 percent. Oscillating (rotating) toothbrushes seem to work better than just vibrating toothbrushes.
Electric toothbrushes does most of the work for you. They may be helpful for anyone with limited mobility, such as people with:

When it&#;s time for a new toothbrush, you only have to replace an electric toothbrush head in many cases, so it may be less wasteful than throwing away a full manual toothbrush.
However, if you use a single-use electric toothbrush, you&#;ll have to completely replace it when it&#;s time to do so.
At least one study found that people were more focused when brushing their teeth using an electric toothbrush. This improved people&#;s overall experience brushing and could potentially improve how well you clean your teeth.
One study found that electric toothbrushes were particularly helpful for people with orthodontic appliances, such as braces, because it made brushing easier.
Among people with appliances who already had good oral health, plaque levels were about the same, whether they used an electric toothbrush or not. But if you find it difficult to clean your mouth while having orthodontic therapy, the electric toothbrush may improve your oral health.
Not all kids are interested in brushing their teeth. If an electric toothbrush is more engaging to your child, it can help accomplish good oral cleaning and set healthy habits.
Used properly, an electric toothbrush should not hurt your gums or enamel but instead promote overall oral health.
