Sometimes, things you’ve done for a very long time can suddenly feel a bit old. If one day you realize don’t really get excited about dental hygiene anymore … or worse yet, you are sick of it … it may be time to rejuvenate this experience. An electric toothbrush just might make it much more enjoyable and easy to get through. Give it a try!
Whether you’re already dealing with soreness or if you find that getting through your brushing sometimes leads to discomfort, we always encourage patients to try an electric brush. When you compare it with a manual option, it is much easier on your muscles and joints!
You’ve been informed that you are an aggressive brusher. This means that instead of using just a bit of delicate pressure during dental hygiene, you likely press too hard and are too vigorous with your motions. To avoid damaging your gum tissue and possibly eroding your dental tissue over time, we suggest an electric toothbrush. It’s easier to avoid the urge to press, as you just guide it over teeth. (Some even come with a feature that will make the brush stop if you’re overdoing it or with a timer, so you don’t rush!).
