​Is electric toothbrush better than a traditional one?

​Gone are those days when our forefathers used the small branches of medicinal plants like neem to brush their teeth; back then the medicinal value of plants was used to keep teeth clean and the mouth free from germs. Then came toothbrush with soft bristles and a wooden or a plastic handle. These toothbrushes lasted long and were quite handy to use. Years later, electric toothbrushes came into existence and the objective was to reduce plaque formation in the teeth. Since then, the debate between electric toothbrushes and traditional manual toothbrushes has been ongoing for years, leaving many consumers wondering which is the better option for their oral hygiene. Both types of toothbrushes have their merits, and the choice ultimately depends on individual preferences, oral health needs, and lifestyle. ​
