Faktencheck: Ultraschallzahnbürste vs. elektrische Zahnbürste

Are you 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. In today's blog post, we explain why you should think about switching to an ultrasonic toothbrush.

Differences between electric toothbrush and ultrasonic toothbrush

Like any electric toothbrush, our emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush with electricity or battery. Unlike the typical electric toothbrush with a round head, our ultrasonic toothbrush scores points 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 brought to the United States and mass-produced there the following year. It took almost another 30 years before the classic electric toothbrush with a round brush head was produced for use at home.

Technologies have developed immensely over the years. This is not least due to the fact that electric toothbrushes have become increasingly popular. Research studies have shown that electric toothbrushes clean significantly more effectively than manual toothbrushes. Our emmi®-dent ultrasonic toothbrush cleans even more effectively thanks to the latest ultrasonic technology.

Who is an electric toothbrush suitable for and who is an ultrasonic toothbrush suitable for?

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

However, if you place a lot of value on having clean and thoroughly clean teeth, then we recommend using our ultrasonic toothbrush. Cleaning with ultrasound couldn't be easier. Clean teeth, without any pressure or abrasive brushing, day after day.
