Which is better: a manual toothbrush or an electric one?

Studies have shown both manual and electric toothbrushes to be equally effective (when used correctly) in removing plaque and preventing tartar buildup. My advice is to use whichever toothbrush you find most comfortable and easy to use.

To get proper brushing instructions for a manual toothbrush visit www.adha.org/oralhealth/brushing.htm. See the packaging for your electric toothbrush for usage instructions.
