Q&A

Q1: What is the difference between using an electric toothbrush and a manual one?

A1: An electric toothbrush typically provides a more consistent and thorough cleaning experience due to its high-speed bristle movements, which can help remove plaque more effectively than manual brushing.

Q2: How often should I change the brush head of my electric toothbrush?

A2: It is generally recommended to replace the brush head every three months or sooner if the bristles become frayed.

Q3: Are water flossers better than traditional flossing methods?

A3: Water flossers can be very effective at removing food particles and plaque from between your teeth and below the gum line. They may be particularly beneficial for individuals with braces or other dental appliances that make traditional flossing difficult.

Q4: Is it safe to use a water flosser on sensitive gums?

A4: Yes, water flossers often come with adjustable settings that allow you to control the water pressure. For individuals with sensitive gums, starting with a lower pressure setting is advisable. This helps ensure a comfortable and effective cleaning experience without causing irritation.
