Mom was right: Good oral hygiene is seriously important! We all know it’s vital to tooth and gum health to brush morning and night, floss every day, and schedule regular dentist visits. But
how you clean your teeth is just as important as how often. That’s why electric toothbrushes are so great many come with genius built-in tools (like minute timers, special brush modes, and even real-time feedback) to help you make the most out of every brushing session. And ultimately, it’s much less painful and cost-effective to prevent a problem than to treat one.
