You have a dirty mind.
Today I really want to know what people think of the big toothbrush debate. Are electric toothbrushes actually better than manual ones?
I have been considering buying an electric toothbrush, because on TV ads they really get rid of the dirt with ease. Plus in the morning, I am pretty much incapable of getting myself dressed, let alone the manual labour involved with getting your teeth clean. I have a feeling though that those TV ads are about as real as Kate Moss’ eyelashes.
There was a freelance guy at my work for a while, and one day he came in after being to the dentist and he said the dentist had suggested he buy an electric toothbrush. The dentist has never suggested I buy one, so maybe he was just rubbish at brushing his teeth. Or maybe they are better, I don’t know.
So should I buy an electric toothbrush? What kind of toothbrush do you use?

I agree with Rhys, electric is just a waste of money and for those too lazy to brush.
My housemate has one and doesn’t notice a difference afterwards.

Proper manual brushing isn’t an easy technique to learn , but does the job just fine — if you know how.
Sonicair — or similar high end electric brushes are fantastic, but initial cost is high. You get what you pay for.
Work it out — compare cost of electric brush over lifetime against cost of dental work — it’s a no brainer. I should know — I’m a dentist and have been for quite some time.
