Invest in an Electric Toothbrush and Accessories to Improve Oral Care
Proper oral care is vital to your physical well-being. It removes harmful bacteria and food debris to promote healthy gums and whiter teeth. An electric toothbrush or a toothbrush sanitizer can help.
To improve your oral care, you can add a toothbrush head sanitizer and oral irrigator to your dental routine. Oral irrigators work like dental floss to remove plaque and debris between teeth. However, instead of floss, an oral irrigator uses a fine stream of water. This is a great alternative for those who dislike traditional flossing. A toothbrush sanitizer takes cleanliness a step further by cleaning and removing bacteria from your toothbrush’s head.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What type of electric toothbrush is best?
A: Electric toothbrushes come in two styles: sonic and oscillating rotary. The head of an oscillating-rotary toothbrush rotates back and forth to clean plaque from teeth. A sonic head creates high-frequency vibrations that help remove plaque. At Lowe’s, we offer both styles of electric toothbrushes and a range of accessories. Opinions differ on which type of toothbrush is best overall, as each has its own benefits. The best choice for you is whichever toothbrush you feel most comfortable using regularly.
Q: Are electric toothbrushes actually better?
A: Yes. Studies have shown that electric toothbrushes remove more plaque and bacteria from both teeth and gums than traditional toothbrushes. The additional movement of an electric toothbrush head provides better cleaning action than you’d have with a traditional, hand-powered toothbrush.
Q: What are the advantages and disadvantages of an electric toothbrush?
A: The primary benefit of electric toothbrushes is that they’re highly effective at removing plaque. Many also have timers and interchangeable brush heads. The disadvantages are that electric toothbrushes are more fragile, require charging and are more expensive than traditional toothbrushes.
