Popularity of electric toothbrushes is increasing day by day and people have started to realize that oral hygiene deserves greater attention and is worth spending more than what was thought earlier. Electric toothbrush, packed with different features, offers additional assistance in maintaining the oral hygiene.
Although Braun electric toothbrushes are of top-quality, you still need to know how to use an electric toothbrush most effectively in order to get maximum benefit of brushing the teeth. Braun’s electric toothbrushes are feature rich and perfect for keeping the teeth clean and healthy, but in order to get optimum benefit, you need to maintain and use them properly.
How to use electric toothbrush more effectively
For oral health and hygiene, and to protect and clean teeth, toothbrush must be used correctly, whether it is manual or electric powered. The most common recommendation by the dentists is to brush your teeth twice daily for two minutes, once in the morning after breakfast and once before going to bed. It is recommended that each quadrant of mouth should be brushed at least for thirty seconds. With manual toothbrush, maintaining this timing is somewhat difficult.
Some models of Braun Oral B electric toothbrush come with a two minute timer, which makes it easier to maintain brushing period at two minutes. In order to switch to next quadrant, these brushes alert the user after every 30 seconds. Thus, user doesn’t have to worry for brushing period of each quadrant of the mouth.
Besides brushing period, maintaining correct amount of pressure is also an important factor for effectiveness of brushing. Too much pressure can damage gums and teeth as the brush’s strands are made slightly harder for proper cleaning. The extra pressure while brushing can scrap the layer of protective enamel of teeth rendering them prone to cavities. It can also injure gums. On the other hand, too little pressure will not help cleaning the teeth. Advanced electric toothbrushes come with pressure indicator to help you adjust the correct amount of pressure that is not too much or too little.
Since a toothbrush head is worn out in a few months of regular usage, it needs to be replaced after every couple of months, or when the damage to stands is clearly visible. Braun Oral B electric toothbrushes come with replaceable head, which should be changed regularly when it get worn out. This feature allows the users to purchase only brush heads, not the entire brush once they have purchased electric toothbrush.
Thus, if an electric toothbrush is used correctly and maintained properly, it can effectively clean your teeth and gums, and you can maintain your oral hygiene.
