Because electric toothbrushes do not require any hand movements to work with, they can clean teeth at the best angle and in all directions, so consider giving your child the preference for an electric toothbrush. Of course, electric toothbrushes can be used as the main tool for brushing teeth at any age. Compared to traditional manual toothbrushes, electric toothbrushes can remove plaque more effectively in less time than traditional manual toothbrushes, reduce gingivitis, control tartar formation and pigmentation, and reduce gum recession and cervical tooth tissue wear. The timing function of some electric toothbrushes can effectively remind the time needed to brush enough, which is especially helpful for children. Electric toothbrushes are beneficial for consumers who require special oral health care, such as orthodontic patients with fixed appliances, patients with artificial dental implants in the mouth, patients with complex fillings or restorations, patients with gingivitis or periodontitis, as well as consumers who lack wrist dexterity for using manual toothbrushes and people with disabilities who do not have the ability to brush their own teeth.
