Electric toothbrushes have a rotating head, which helps remove plaque and bacteria from teeth. Manual toothbrushes rely on a person’s brushing motion to clean teeth.
Electric brushes are great for people with limited mobility, as they don’t require any hand movement. You hold it against your teeth, and it will do the work. They are also quicker than manual brushes. They are better for kids and the elderly who can’t brush their teeth properly with a manual toothbrush.
Electric toothbrushes are more affordable in the long run. They have longer battery life, require less maintenance, and give better results. Only the head should be replaced after 2 - 6 months, whereas a manual toothbrush has to be replaced at least once every 3 months.
