Easy-to-Use Functions

Some brands use ultrasonic technology, whereas others rely on rotating motions. In addition, many brands provide a timer in the electric toothbrush. This ensures you brush for exactly two minutes and change sides every 30 seconds.

Some advanced electric toothbrushes also allow you to extend the brush timer and brush for longer. If you have sensitive teeth, you can switch on the sensitive mode to reduce the motor force and speed. You can also use the massage settings to provide stimulation to the gums.

When using an electric toothbrush, make sure you use a gentle hand. If you apply too much pressure, you might end up hurting your gums and soft tissues of the mouth. Some brands also have special settings using which you can set the pressure of the toothbrush. 

Great for People Suffering from Physical Disorders

Electric toothbrushes are very helpful for those suffering from cognitive impairments and arthritis. It is also great for those who have suffered from a stroke. An electric toothbrush allows such people to clean their teeth without applying much pressure. This boosts their self-confidence and gives them a sense of independence. You can easily hold the brush without applying much pressure to the bones, and your work will be done. In addition, the timer in the toothbrush allows you to brush without worrying about the time.
