What kind of toothbrush do you use, electronic or regular?

[imported_Tomato]

I use a regular one. Is there a distinct different with electric toothbrushes?

 

[blackdogdeek]

my dentist friend says electric are better.

i still use the hand-powered variety.

Regular one... I travel around the country every week, living off my suitcase... It's not practical for me to carry around an electric toothbrush...

They are not better, its just easier to do a good job. You can do the same with a regular but it takes better technique.

Both. I use an Oral B electric one at night, but I use a regular one the rest of the day.

A manual one. It's got multi-angled bristles and an ergonomic neon green rubber-grip handle. I'm so cool.

You mean people still actually brush their teeth???

 

[dayg]

Sonicare but I'm not certain if it's better than manual brushing though.

Sonicare, i feel my teeth are a lot cleaner after i use my sonicare as opposed to a regular toothbrush.

Possibly, but with my sonicare I can do it in about 1/2 the time. Also, any good technique you use with manual brushing, you can use with sonicare. The head is the same shape... I have used other brands of electric, and nothing is like the sonicare toothbrush (original model).
