What are electric toothbrushes?
An electric toothbrush is a toothbrush that uses electric power to move the brush head. The following articles will teach you the history of electric toothbrushes, what types are available and what the benefits of using an electric toothbrush are. The first rotating electric toothbrush, the Broxodent, was introduced by Squibb Pharmaceutical at the centennial of the American Dental Association in 1960. Electric toothbrushes were initially created for patients with limited motor skills, as well as those with orthodontic patients (such as those with braces). Claims have been made that these are more effective than manual toothbrushes, as it leaves less room for patients to brush incorrectly.
