Electronic toothbrush- is it really better than the normal toothbrush?

I use an Oral-B electric toothbrush. I have been using it for about 4 years now. From the first time, I could tell that my teeth felt cleaner. It was able to reach places that a normal toothbrush only glossed over. The rotating head seemed to lift things off my teeth that would have normally been left behind. I can also tell a difference with I change to a new head. It works better than the old one. I highly recommend using one. I don't think it's a matter of laziness at all, it's a matter of cleaner teeth.

yesturday i bought an electronic toothbrush, i wanted it for some time now... i think is better than the normal one because it can clean places where the normal toothbrush can't reach! yesturday i brush my teeth with it and i can say that i am pleased of it!

I don't like elactric toothbrushes. I have one, but I always switch back to regular.

i use electrich toothbrushes since i was young in my experience is much better than the normal. In the toothbrushes is important the speed because it can carry away the tartar

i haven't tried it.

i use it because it is lot less work,and i can go anywhere with it, and it clean my teeth lot better than i could with a hand held toothbursh, plus the one is a snoic toothbrush so it clean alot better, maybe too much lol

i use since one year... i find it very useful and i think my teeth are cleaner! i also bought one for my daughters, expecially for children!

i used one for a while but went back to using a manual. I found that the head on the electric one was too small and it took ages to clean my whole mouth.

I strongly doubt it,but dont opposite using it.My girlfriend is rather concerned how properly it cleans ya teeth.She's ready to spend £70 on it.Does it worth it?Hardly.But if it makes me happy let it be :-)

My wife and I love these things. I would never go back to a regular toothbrush again. They are fun and they clean really well.

I think that electric toothbrushes are better than normal ones because they clean your teeth better,and are easier to use,especially if u are a lazy person like i am.

I used a regular tooth brush forever until last month and I have to tell you there is a difference. They are cleaner!

i think an electronic toothbrush gives you a better dental hygiene than the manual variants . if the brusher enjoys brushing better with the an electronic toothbrush and brushes with more carefully more often it improve significantly your mouth hygiene. some people are perfectly content with their manual toothbrush and they dont think to try something else.

reading those comments to the post made me curious. i just use a normal colgate tooth brush, but never knew about the electronic. may be i can get one and try out.

well i think this is effective than the normal toothbrush. i use one at home i think it cleanses better than the manual

I use an eletric toothbrush - I think it is better. It moves more quickly than the human hand can.

I have read somewhere recently that they are actually better for cleaning the teeth. I have one and for some reason I quit using it and went back to the regular toothbrush. I don't even remember why. Probably just habit.

I agree totally with jayperiod. The head is smaller and rotates to lift debris from between teeth. Teeth do benefit and your gums too are getting a good massage. You just can't beat them.....(like the wife lol)

When I was a kid I had an electronic Mickey Mouse toothbrush *laugh* THat may be the only one that I ever had. I can't remember any real advantages to it. I haven't had one in a long time and I don't mind using a regular toothbrush for my teeth cleaning needs. *laugH* ^_^

My mom presented it tome on a New Year! I while don't use it, but really interesting in its utility!8)
