Dentist Questions Electric toothbrushes

Is an electric toothbrush good for your teeth?

I am planning to get an electric toothbrush, but would like to know if it is better for my gums, or if I should stick to a regular toothbrush?

It is my opinion that electric toothbrushs are great for your teeth and your gums. They create ultrasonic movement of water and toothpaste to force it into areas that are not reached with a traditional toothbrush. Your overall dental health will be improved with proper use of an electric toothbrush.
Electric toothbrushes are absolutely fantastic and enormously better than manual toothbrushes.
In my practice, I have seen very good results in patients who use the sonic toothbrush. There're different brands and all are good, they clean better than regular toothbrushes, and your gums will be healthier.
Yes, they are great. They allow cleaning penetration in grooves your normal brush may miss.
