For good dental hygiene and a bright smile,
more people are using electric
toothbrushes
instead of manually brushing.
With the wide
variety of electric toothbrushes
available
today, it can be hard to decide
which one
to purchase. Here are some features
to consider
when buying an electric toothbrush:
- A battery status indicator showing when batteries
are weak since brushing with weak batteries
is usually less effective
- Rechargeable toothbrushes to eliminate replacing
batteries. Buy a wall-mounted model if the
charging unit takes too much space on the
counter.
- Adjustable power levels and a slow start-up
speed to eliminate possible problems for
those with sensitive teeth/gums
- A variety of brushes so you can select the
toothbrush you want such as a wide brush
to clean both teeth and gums at the same
time, or how hard or soft you want the bristles
to be.
- Changeable brush heads. Look for brushes
with a color identifying system if the unit
is to be used by more than one person.
- Models that beep after 2 minutes (some beep
after 30 seconds so you clean each quadrant
of your mouth equally) to help brush the
recommended length of time. Equally helpful
are those models that stop after 2 minutes
of operation so you don’t over brush your
teeth.
- Sonic toothbrushes, which operate at higher
speeds than non-sonic brushes, are purported
to do a better job of cleaning and removing
plaque.
Additional features to consider
are
- A water dispensing system to help clean gums
and around braces
- A built in toothpaste dispenser system for
a constant supply of toothpaste
- A traveling case to protect the toothbrush
when you go on trips
