used an electric tootbrush is very good,each time bush my teeth clean,effective than the manual and labor-saving.But that is not suitable for children to use. Gums will hurt, impact the developent of gum.

I have never used a electric toothbrush before,I do not the electric toothbrush's advantages or disadvantages.I am satisfied the manual.I may buy a electric someday.

hi,karubod! i've used my manual toothbrush for a long time and didn't find it anything wrong with my teeth..maybe u haven't gotta master the proper way of brushing your teeth. i have never used a electric one, but i dont think there is much different affects on your teeth since u have used them often and properly..anyway, a electric toothbrush may be more efficient..
