What kind of toothbrush do you use? Is it electric or manual? I use an electric toothbrush because I have read and been told by a dentist that is overall better than using a manual one. I forget the reasoning, but I will take that at face value. I also think it is more fun to use an electric brush rather than manual. What about you? Do you use electric or manual toothbrushes?

It always seems strange to me if I am on a vacation and have to use a manual one. I don't bother packing my electric one when I go away.

Pretty had a coupon for an expensive electric toothbrush but you're right, the heads for it are expensive. She loves it, though, so she still buys the heads anyway. As long as she likes it, it's worth it.

I have to agree that the initial cost of the initial toothbrush is costly and the replacement heads expensive too. Probably, though, less expensive in the long run compared to what a trip to the dentist costs these days. My daughter uses an electric toothbrush and loves it

Pretty and I both use electric toothbrushes. She has an expensive one and gets replaceable heads for it. I use one of the Crest electric toothbrushes. It feels good and cleans my teeth better than a manual toothbrush ever did.

Mine has replaceable heads. They aren't really that expensive to replace.

I was bought two electric toothbrushes a few years ago ….i actually hate the idea of them. My Dad had one and I think The Mister had the other. I use a manual toothbrush.

I use electric because the dental hygienist told me to. I also use a water pic because she told me to. Apparently it helped and it was less excruciating to visit her. So that was inspiring.
A doctor friend told me that a child used their water pic to get something out of their eye!!!! It damaged their eye to the point that that it might permanently impact eyesight.

Just now
I tried two different electric ones but didn't care for them. They are supposed to clean your teeth much better.
