The effectiveness of brushing the teeth with a rechargeable electric toothbrush is disputed by the scientific community mostly due to the fact that independent studies have concluded that electric toothbrushes have performed only marginally better than manual ones. The above-mentioned studies have taken into consideration that the manual brushing is done in a proper fashion and for a long enough period of time. This being the case most dentists still recommend the rechargeable electric toothbrush for patients which have limited flexibility and for those which want to make sure that they brush their teeth in a correct manner.
Properly brushing the teeth requires gentle up-down movements in short stokes on the teeth’s length, brushing the outer, the inner and the chewing surfaces of the teeth. In order for each surface to be properly cleaned, dentists recommend the brushing sessions to be at least 2 minutes long. Using a modern rechargeable electric toothbrush can greatly increase the efficiency of the brushing session since most of the products available today have a signal 2 minutes after the session has begun. Some models even have intermittent signals, at 30 seconds each that inform the user when it’s time to change to another part of the denture. It is also indicated brushing the tongue since it has most of the bacteria in the mouth and in doing so the breath is also refreshed.
