Dental carries are common in school-aged children. Long term use of electric toothbrushes results in 22% less gum recession & 18% less tooth decay. Electric toothbrushes can be introduced at 2-3 years of age to help combat these issues. #RUCFNPP_23 https://t.co/fBmJD1m06s

Do you use an electric toothbrush? The reason an electric toothbrush removes more plaque is the consistent speed & motion of the brush head generated by the motor in the brush.
