Is it electric one or a regular one? and what do you think about those toothbrushes that have built in dental floss, is it better than electric one? I'm talking about dental floss built in like in this one http://aquafreshproducts.co.uk/toothbrushes/manual/InterdentalAction.aspx
I'm asking, cause I aways had a feeling that those electric ones when they brush in circular motion make food particles and stuff pushing it back into your gums, thats why I'm a bit skeptical about those electric ones, so what do you guys think? which ones are good and why?

I love using an electric toothbrush. my dentist told me that the longer you brush, the better... so the electric brush is good to use since you can brush for as long as 10 minutes. yes, it has circular motion, but i also move the brush upside down to compensate for the up and down motion which the toothbrush doesn't have.
I don't use those with built-in floss. i prefer to use the classic one.

We use the regular ones. Our baby sleeps in our room and if there are too many noises in the bathroom, he'll wake up . . . so we'd rather have a noiseless toothbrush - ha ha!! We are on a budget, so we don't like to get products that cost a lot. Even with the electric toothbrushes, you eventually have to buy the replacement brushes - and that can't be too cheap (in the long run anyway).

i prefer the normal tooth brush. i havent heard the ones with the dental floss. i think the regular is better than the electric one. because you won't get the risk of an electric shock.but i dont know whether that thing about the electric one pushing stuff back in to the gums. i never used it. i only saw it at a shop.
