Are electric toothbrushes better than manual toothbrushes?
Studies have shown that some electric toothbrushes are better than manual ones at removing plaque from your teeth. Some of this benefit is due to the novelty effect people spend more time brushing when they get a new electric toothbrush. We recommend the Sonicare toothbrush (www.sonicare.com) because of its proven ability to clean beyond the tips of the bristles, its built-in two minute timer, and its durability.
