What Kind of Toothbrush are You Using?

According to the American Dental Association (ADA), both electric and manual toothbrushes are effective at removing oral plaque that causes decay and disease. Both have their advantages. An electric toothbrush does increase the amount of calculus and tarter that is removed from your teeth and makes brushing easier for those who have limited mobility - people with arthritis, developmental disabilities, and carpel tunnel along with kids. However, manual toothbrushes are much more accessible to the general public and less expensive than the electric toothbrush. Both the manual and the electric are effective in cleaning your teeth when used properly, so the question remains... what kind of toothbrush are you using? #dentalcare #manualtoothbrush #electrictoothbrush
