Which Is Better An Electric Or Manual Toothbrush?

Skydiving and doing the Rubik’s cube?? Now that is very odd multitasking!

A skydiver entered the Guinness book of world records for completing the Rubik’s cube whilst in a wind tunnel in just over 3 minutes. Achieving this feat at Basingstoke lesiure park in Hampshire- he now plans to do it while free falling for real! Whilst multitasking like this is difficult many people think that using your electric toothbrush like a manual toothbrush will be twice as efficient. It is not.

So is an electric tooth brush better than a manual one?

It is all down to technique. If you have the correct technique and use a small manual toothbrush then this maybe fine. However most people struggle with the best technique for using a manual toothbrush and use an electric which is much easier. I would avoid the battery operated ones.

Which electric toothbrush is best?

Again this comes down to technique. The leading brands are: Oral B and Philips Sonicare. They both work in different ways. But if your technique is good they both will do the job efficiently.
