Get ready to transform your smile! Plaque (which is the main cause of gum disease and cavities) can be removed easier, faster and more efficiently with an electric toothbrush, than with a regular toothbrush.
If you have these problems this item is a necessity, and if you don't want to have dental problems it can be a very effective prevention tool.
Look for these features when choosing your new brush: BRUSH HEAD: These vary in size and shape, and it is important to consider what style would work best for your needs.
Smaller heads will be easier to maneuver to reach difficult spots.
Some models may include colored rings or color coded brush heads to identify each individual brush.
Brushes are replaceable and can be purchased separately as needed.
Many brushes have color indicators that fade over time, indicating it's time to replace them.
OSCILLATION: Refers to the rate at which the brush head moves back and forth or spins.
The higher the speed, the more advanced the cleaning capability and stain removal.
Some models have an easy start that gently increases the brushing power in the early stages, for those concerned if the high speeds will be painful to their gums.
These models lessen the vibration during the first few weeks of use.
TIMER: Since the brush should be used for a minimum of two minutes to achieve maximum results, the timer lets you know how long to brush.
Some models will beep or pause every thirty seconds to indicate that it's time to move to the next quadrant in your mouth; others will automatically turn off after two minutes of use.
