Why choose an electric toothbrush?

Electric toothbrushes are more effective than manual brushing. It's no secret: for a beautiful smile, you need to clean your teeth at least twice a day for at least 2 minutes. Good oral hygiene is the basis for preventinggum problems and cavities. However, it has been scientifically proven that people who use a manual toothbrush have difficulty mastering the correct gesture, and generally brush their teeth for only 30 seconds to 1 minute.

The electric toothbrush is therefore more effective, as it allows us to brush our teeth thoroughly: the built-in timer on most models encourages us to keep brushing for at least 2 minutes.

And there's no risk of making the wrong move. The electric toothbrush works for us, so all we have to do is move it along our teeth.

The benefits of electric toothbrushes for our oral hygiene are unequivocal. According to an independent study, published in June 2014, by The Cochrane Collaboration, the electric toothbrush enables us, in 1 month of use, to reduce plaque by 11% and, in 3 months, by 21%.

How can we encourage children to brush their teeth?

Toothbrushing isn't always easy for young children, but it's important to make it part of their routine. With the electric brush, brushing often becomes a game for the child, making this moment easier and more enjoyable for everyone. What's more, electric brushes remove more plaque than manual brushes, not least because the timer on these brushes encourages them to stick to the recommended two-minute brushing routine.

Is the electric toothbrush suitable for all mouths?

Yes, the electric toothbrush is suitable for even the most sensitive mouths. Contrary to popular belief, manual brushing is more aggressive than electric brushing. Electric toothbrushes are becoming more and more powerful, offering several brushing modes for personalized use.

This means you can use an electric toothbrush if you wear dentures or braces. But sometimes it's not enough. In these cases, for example, you'll also need interdental brushes to remove the last of the trapped dirt.

The 4 keys to good dental hygiene:

Brush your teeth ideally after every meal (or at least 2 times a day). Plaque builds up again within a few hours, so it's essential to remove it by brushing thoroughly.
Visit your dentist regularly. An annual visit to your dentist is essential to detect cavities and remove plaque through scaling, and thus promote good oral hygiene.
Adopt the right technique and toothbrush. To care for your gums and preserve your tooth enamel, we recommend using soft-bristled brushes, which are much less aggressive than hard-bristled ones. For effective brushing, allow 2 to 3 minutes. You can complete your treatment with dental floss and mouthwash. Don't forget to change your toothbrush!
Adopt a healthy diet. Sugar should be consumed in moderation, as should soft drinks, citrus juices and white wine.

These few recommendations are essential for exemplary oral hygiene.
