In addition to cleansing the teeth better, an electric toothbrush is also a useful method for encouraging children to brush their teeth. Generally children cannot apply the right pressure and force to their toothbrush while an electric toothbrush applies this force correctly and equally to the teeth. Rotating and fast movements of an electric toothbrush are also much more helpful than a hand toothbrush. Furthermore, electric toothbrushes can protect the dental and oral health better.
