Surrey Electric Toothbrush
You can purchase an electric toothbrush from your Surrey dental practice. When using an electric toothbrush we strongly advise you read the operating instructions supplied before first use. Use of an electric toothbrush differs slightly from that of a manual brush and in doing so you will ensure optimum cleaning performance. Even if you have used other electric toothbrushes before we still recommend you check the manual as different models may use different techniques. Electric toothbrushes usually do much of the brushing for you, meaning you move the brush around much less and let the motorised bristle head do the work as you gently move it around your mouth. Applied with the correct pressure you will allow yourself to achieve a focused deep cleaning action on all areas.
Too much pressure or brushing for too long can lead to various problems including damage to the gums and onset of gingivitis and damaged teeth enamel. Using an electric toothbrush such as the Braun Oral-B or Sonicare range allows you to regulate the brushing time and pressure applied using a built in timer and pressure sensor. With the Sonicare in particular it is quite difficult to apply too much pressure due the brushing method used.
