Questions And Answers About Electric Toothbrushes
Question: Do I have to spend hundreds of dollars on an electric toothbrush if I’m interested in trying one?
Answer: While choosing the cheapest brush you can find may not provide you with the benefits you seek, that doesn’t mean that you need to purchase the most expensive either. You can find a selection of toothbrushes under and over the $100 that provide excellent dental hygiene. (Need suggestions? Just ask!)
Question: Are there any travel options available? It seems like it might be difficult to travel with a big electric toothbrush.
Answer: Yes. You have many, many options. We would be glad to discuss good choices with you during your next visit. Remember that there are slim versions and those that run on batteries, so you may use them as your primary brush and carry them with you, or select a special brush just for time spent away from home.
Question: What types of advantages make it worth trying an electric toothbrush to replace my manual one during dental hygiene sessions?
Answer: There are a variety of reasons to make a change! First, these brushes are good for people with hand-related problems because they require very little control – you will just guide the brush. They also create tens of thousands of strokes for you, so removing plaque is easy to achieve.
