My whole life I have used a regular toothbrush. Sometimes I spend a bit extra on the pretty colors and better bristles; however, the power of cleaning has rested on my manual up, down, across action. I've been curious about electric toothbrushes but not enough to shell out that much extra.
Well, this last Christmas I worked at Mother's Refuge, and there was a stocking for me that had the same things as the rest of the girls. One of the items was an electric toothbrush. I had just bought a new toothbrush, so I decided to save it until needed. That moment came last week. My toothbrush was not horrible but enough so that I decided to pull out the Christmas stocking electric toothbrush.
Two things: the first time I used it, I'm pretty sure I could feel my brain shake in my skull. Weirdest sensation ever. Second, I feel like I had some pretty excessive drooling going on. lol But I think after a few days of use, I am used to the shaking feeling and know to tilt my head back so that any excess drool stays in my mouth until I'm ready to spit it out.
The craziest thing though is how incredible my teeth feel. They are so smooth, clean, and refreshing. I mean I feel like I have been a pretty good brusher of teeth, but I admit the electric toothbrush is far superior. And my teeth feel like they stay clean longer.
So I have converted probably forever (or at the least a long time) to electric toothbrushes because of their superiority in awesomeness and effectiveness compared to humdrum manual brushing.
