Most people are aware that electric toothbrushes and replacement heads can make our teeth beautiful. But, many of us do not know how to make the right choice when it comes to choosing the best one for our needs. This is a very critical purchase, as improper choice can cause major dental problems. If you want to make an informed decision about the best brush or head to buy, you will want to read this article. You will learn facts about electric brushes and their effectiveness for teeth cleaning, their cost, their practicality, and their maintenance. After reading this article, you will be equipped with the information you need to make an informed decision.
There are two types of electric toothbrushes: battery-operated and manual. Battery-operated toothbrushes use rechargeable batteries that must be recharged periodically. Many people prefer battery-operated toothbrushes because they are easier to maintain. Because the battery-operated toothbrush requires you to brush more often, it is necessary to buy extra brushes for every visit to the dentist. The cost of these extra brushes is actually lower than the cost of using a manual toothbrush.
Lithium-ion, nickel-cadmium, or lithium ion toothbrush heads are the most common electric toothbrush heads. These types of heads are usually recommended for children and adults. These heads tend to last longer than ordinary battery-operated heads. They are also the most expensive type of electric toothbrush heads.
Lithium ion is the most efficient of all the brush heads. It can provide up to five full times more cleaning power than standard brush heads. The longer the lifespan of these heads, the better your teeth will look. This type of brush is especially beneficial for those who take regular teeth cleaning treatments. Lithium ion rechargeable brush heads require you to brush twice per day as compared to brushing once with a conventional electric brush.
Nickel-cadmium and lithium ion rechargeable toothbrush heads have a shorter span of life. Some people report that they only have up to two full times the amount of time with these types of heads between replacements. These heads can last up to three years or longer if taken care of properly. To maintain the brightness and shine of nickel-cadmium and lithium ion replaceable toothbrush heads, you should wash them after each use and allow them to dry completely before replacing them in your toothbrush.
Although electric toothbrushes can be more expensive than manual toothbrushes, the benefits of using them far outweigh the cost. Using less harmful chemicals eliminates the need for artificial flavors and colors. The bristles are more ergonomic and comfortable to use. There is also less bacteria build up resulting in fewer trips to the dentist.
