If you’re looking to take your tooth game up a notch, an electric toothbrush can seriously help you out. It removes more plaque and improves gum health compared to a regular toothbrush. Spotlight Oral Care has you covered, with a whole range of oral care products including an electric toothbrush to help you achieve a cleaner, healthier smile.
How an Electric Toothbrush Improves Your Oral Care?
An electric brush achieves this with its fast, continuous brushing motion. Manual brushing comes close to achieving this, but the faster speed and more consistent movement of an electric brush means teeth get a more thorough clean, with a reduced risk of plaque forming and cavities forming along the gumline.
Lots of electric brushes come with a timer to help you brush for the ideal two minutes. This is the perfect amount of time to clean teeth thoroughly, giving the brush five seconds on three-tooth sections. Some models also include a pressure sensor, which warns if you brush too hard and risk gum damage.
Why Choose an Electric Toothbrush?
An electric brush is super efficient when it comes to plaque removal. The fast oscillation of the brush head means teeth get a deeper clean. As well as this, most models come with a variety of different brushing modes (sensitivity, whitening, gum care). This makes it all the more easier to customise your morning routine and find a model that meets your needs.
Let’s talk about anyone with poor dexterity — say like older people — or anyone who has issues with mobility. An electric brush can help take the effort out of brushing. Because the brush basically does all the work for you, less effort is required for pearly whites.
Health Benefits of an Electric Toothbrush
Using an electric brush means better oral health thanks to the brush loosening and removing plaque far more effectively. This also helps to prevent disease, cavities and tooth decay. Electric brushes also prevent tartar from building up, which can lead to gingivitis.
The brush head’s vibration, along with the brush itself, stimulates gums thus promoting extra healthy circulation and reducing inflammation of the gum. This is a win-win because not only are your teeth nice and clean, but your gums are happier and healthier!
Choosing the Right Electric Toothbrush for Your Needs
There are a variety of options available, each with different advantages and choosing the right one can greatly improve your brushing routine.
For anyone with sensitive gums or teeth, a toothbrush with a ‘sensitive mode’ provides a delicate cleaning to prevent irritation. If you are trying to improve areas such as plaque control or whitening, electric toothbrushes can also have different modes in order to achieve a more tailored routine.
If you have braces, a toothbrush with an ‘orthodontic mode’ is perfect for cleaning between brackets and wires more effectively. The range in sizes is also varied with models with small brush heads that are easier to control — may be perfect for children or those with smaller teeth.
Unlocking the Full Potential of Your Electric Toothbrush
Want to put this great technology to good use? There’s nothing much to it! Use the right brushing mode that suits your oral care needs. Have sensitive teeth? No worries! Many models come with certain sensitive teeth, gum care and even teeth whitening settings. Plus, you should always ensure you are equipped with the right brush heads and to replace these every few months.
