Does
an electric toothbrush clean better than my old manual toothbrush?
According to a recent study by the independant Oxford based Cochrane Collaboration "Brushes that worked with a rotation oscillation action removed more plaque and reduced gingivitis more effectively than manual brushes in the short and long term." Electric toothbrushes with a rotation oscillation action (brushes that rotate one direction, stop, then rotate the other direction) such as the oralwave 2-minute 2winSpin have been shown to remove 11% more plaque than a manual brush over a three month period. Over a six month period, electric toothbrushes with rotation oscillation action such as the oralwave 2-minute 2winSpin, when compared to manual brushes, can reduce the gum disease Gingivitis by as much as 17%.
