Does using electrical toothbrush spoil your teeth and gum?



Answers:
In most cases electric toothbrushes are very beneficial to a person. They stimulate the gum tissues and for many people are more effective at removing plaque from the teeth. Be careful not to scrub your teeth when you are brushing as you would with a manual toothbrush. That's the electric toothbrush's job! Be sure to brush all surfaces of your teeth and spend at least 2 minutes on the whole mouth. Using an electric toothbrush does not take the place of flossing. Flossing once a day is essential to preventing cavities forming between the teeth. Brushing too vigorously or with too much pressure can cause problems with your teeth, such as increased sensitivity to temperature, and also problems with receding gums (over time). This can also cause tooth sensitivity, because when the gum tissue covering the tooth is gone, it exposes more of the tooth, including part of the root, and can be painful. In summary, if used correctly electric toothbrushes are great for most people. Ask your dentist about it at your next checkup. You can even take your toothbrush into the office and have the dentist or hygienist watch how you use it and give you suggestions. Good luck!
it depends on how often you brush your teeth with it...
