Fact check: ultrasonic toothbrush vs. electric toothbrush

Are you also one of those people who still only use an electric toothbrush for dental care? Unlike the classic manual toothbrush, the electric toothbrush works automatically and is characterized in most cases by its round brush head. We'll explain why you should think about switching to an ultrasonic toothbrush in today's blog post.

Differences between electric toothbrush and ultrasonic toothbrush

Like any electric toothbrush, our emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush also works with electricity or rechargeable batteries. Unlike the typical electric toothbrush with a round head, however, our ultrasonic toothbrush scores with its special cleaning performance.

It was Dr. Philippe Woog who invented the first electric toothbrush in 1939. A good 20 years later, in 1959, it was shipped to the United States and mass produced from there the following year. Now it took almost another 30 years before the classic electric toothbrushwith a round brush head was produced for use at home.

Technologies have developed immensely over the years. Which was not least due to the fact that electric toothbrushes have become increasingly popular. Research studies have proven that electric toothbrushes clean significantly more effectively than manual toothbrushes do. Our emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush cleans even more effectively, thanks to state-of-the-art ultrasonic technology.

For whom is an electric toothbrush suitable and for whom an ultrasonic toothbrush?

The electric toothbrush with round head is suitable for anyone who no longer wants to brush their teeth by hand. For all those who are tired of daily dental care with a manual toothbrush, a simple electric toothbrush is suitable.

However, if you value clean and thoroughly clean teeth, then we recommend using our ultrasonic toothbrush. Ultrasonic cleaning could not be easier. Clean teeth, without pressure and abrasive brushing, day after day.
