Is Electric Toothbrush worth the hype? | Perfora

The science behind brushing
Did you know an intriguing fact, that close to 37% of the people you
meet tend to notice your smile in the first place?
And this is why your oral health is extremely important for a healthy
personal and social life. Dentists around the globe recommend the
“2x2 rule”. The rule is to brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes
each time. They also recommend using a toothpaste with a
remineralisation agent i.e. hydroxyapatite or fluoride. This will reduce
the demineralisation and enhance the rate of remineralisation in
your teeth. In addition, it also washes away the dental plaque
deposited on your teeth.

Difference between a manual and electric toothbrush
The ultimate goal of brushing is to clean teeth, remove food
deposits and plaque. Both manual and electric toothbrushes do
this task. However, electric toothbrushes, enabled with advanced
technology, are always a step ahead.
People who regularly use electric toothbrushes had their teeth’s
plaque levels reduced by 21% in just 3 months. The built-in timer
and sensor make these brushes easy to use. Also, electric
toothbrushes work in vibrating or sonicating or oscillating
movements.

More Environment Friendly!
From a sustainability perspective, an electric toothbrush is
relatively environment friendly as one has to only replace the
toothbrush head after every 3 months whereas in a manual
toothbrush, one has to dump the entire toothbrush. This implies,
with an electric toothbrush, we end up reducing around 70% of
the potential waste.
