Im a bit confused as to what is best for my teeth. At the moment I use a regular manual toothbrush and have done most of my life...never got any cavities at ant of my dental appointments.
(Don't really know why i got this fear and stopped going...i am kicking myself!)
In my late teens I started using an electric toothbrush. My dentist asked what type I used and then told me an electric toothbrush makes no difference and that there were origionally only invented to clean the teeth of the mentally handicapped as it took less scrubbing. He even said that its easier to damage your gums scrubbing too hard with an electric
Now I'm confused because advertising makes electric toothbruses sound really good. Have they improved? Are they worth using or is it not really worth the money. Is this just an advertising ploy? What do you recommend?
Its just after worrying for ages over which toothpaste is best to find out they are pretty much all the same I don't want to do the same thing again! Thank you all...I'm sorry i think im becoming a hyperchondriac!
