Anyone who has made the shift from a regular toothbrush to an electric? What were your reasons? Also do you think an electric is much better from an overall oral hygiene perspective?

I sometimes use the electric and sometimes regular. It definitely makes a difference, but not like “omg I’m so pearly white!” More “It takes longer for plaque to build up”.
I got a water pike and that has made a big difference, as I floss and sometimes the pik still gets more so get one of those for sure!

I made the shift then went back to the regular one.

Dentists have always said my teeth are amazing (was terribleeeeee with then as a kid and learned my lesson). But after I switched to an electric, twice they said they had a lot of plaque.

Guess I brush better and more fully with a regular one.

I have less plaque build up with the battery powered tooth brush. I also switched to floss sticks, and now I can get to the hard to reach places.

I switched to electric and use a water flosser after I quit smoking, the combination of both have made a significant difference and like someone mentioned removes a lot more plaque, and prevents frequent buildup. I feel like it has also helped improve my gum health. With manual toothbrush sometimes people (especially in NY) are always in a rush and may not brush a whole 2 minutes, I appreciate the timer on an electric brush. Also, if you are considering Phillips Sonicare has a subscription plan, you can pay for your toothbrush in full, or monthly payments and sign up to receive brush heads every 3 months for about $4 - way cheaper than purchasing in store, they also have a battery operated option for about $25 (target) I have one of those for when I travel so I don’t lose my good one, it’s minimal, comes in a few bright colors and has a slimline carrying case.
