  • I believe you, but I’m also interested in the studies, how much worth it it actually is.

    Like, is it worth it because people in general have poor brushing technique and the electric brush “solves” this just by how it works, or is it better even with proper brushing technique with manual brush?

    Those are some of the questions I have. 😁

  • There’s been plenty. Dentists, dental hygienists, it’s been almost 4 decades and no-one has recommended it, so I don’t think it’s that. They have, however, shown me how I should use a normal, manual toothbrush most effectively, and I’ve followed that advice to success. Haven’t had a cavity since my first cavity as a teenager, it’s been over 20 years since then.

    Are y’all based in America? I bet dentists there are paid to endorse the electric toothbrush industry there. But maybe not.

    Maybe there are scientific studies that show that electric toothbrushes are objectively better for dental and oral health? If so, I’d love to see them and maybe I’ll consider getting one.

    For now, I’m just sick of having yet another thing that has a damn battery that needs to be charged god-damnit.
