What kinds of toothbrush is the most effective in cleaning teeth?
Studies show that electric tooth brushes provide the best results in plaque removal. They are easy to operate and they do all the work for a patient. They are especially effective for patients with fine motor difficulties. Although they are pricey ($30-$100), in the long run it is an investment that pays off. If your brushing technique is correct and you put a sufficient amount of time (2-3 minutes) into your tooth brushing the results can be similar to those of an electric tooth brush.
