There are a variety of toothbrush including manual toothbrush and electric toothbrush in the market so it maybe headache when choose a toothbrush. Manual toothbrush and electric toothbrush which one is more better for us ? Here we will discuss about it ?
Both manual toothbrush and electric toothbrush can achieve the same result if you are doing the correct brushing technique,say Dr Peter Alldritt, chairman of the Australian Dental Association's oral health committee.
"If someone is doing really well with a manual brush and not having any problems with plaque or brushing too hard, there is little to gain from switching to an electric toothbrush," he says.
The right brushing technique achieves a perfect balance between getting the toothbrush close to the gum so you remove all the plaque from the gum line, without pressing too hard and causing damage to the teeth and gums, Alldritt says.
"In order to think they are doing a perfect job of brushing, some people get in there so hard they can actually cause recession of the gum and then they can cause abrasion where they are actually brushing away the tooth by brushing too hard," he says.
It's this difficulty in achieving the perfect balance that may mean some people are better off using an electric toothbrush.
"Often publications come out where they take 100 people and give 50 manual toothbrushes and 50 electric and compare how much plaque is getting removed, how healthy the gums are and how much gum recession they have," Alldritt says.
"In most reports people using an electric brush generally do bettter." Meanwhile, an electric toothbrush designed for children with colourful pictures and music can make it easier to get kids brushing their teeth."It sounds like a bit of a gimmick, but if that is going to make it easier for the child to brush their teeth then that has to be good for their oral health," Alldritt says.
People with arthritis in their hands or other disabilities may also find it easier to hold an electric toothbrush because they have a bigger handle than manual ones."They can just hold it in their mouth and let the electric motion do the work without them having to move the toothbrush around in a delicate manner," he says.
Plaque starts to form near the gum line not on the top of the tooth, so when you are brushing aim the toothbrush bristles at the gum line, then move the toothbrush in a circular motion so that it sweeps plaque away from the gums, Alldritt says.
"Move around the teeth gradually in a systematic fashion. Don't just brush randomly in all sorts of places, start in one area and work your way around. Do it in a systematic fashion so you know you are going to be thorough," he says.
Here are some top tips to bear in mind when looking after your teeth:
*Always choose a soft bristle toothbrush rather than a hard or medium brush.
*Clean your teeth in the morning after breakfast and before you go to bed at night.
*Replace both manual and electric toothbrush heads every three months.
*Don't underestimate the importance of flossing to remove plaque from between your teeth where your toothbrush cannot reach.
*Cleaning your tongue is also an important habit to remove plaque that is full of bacteria and can cause of bad breath.
