Automatic Vs Manual

No. im not talking about cars. This is a different post altogether. A post which will help with dental hygine world wide.

Im talking about power toothbrushes. Yeah that’s what they are calling it now. 'Power Tooth brushes'. Not cause they have extra strong bristles but cause they need electricity to work.

So im gonna talk about the pros and cons of using power tooth brushes… im not gonna say anything about the manual toothbrushes. (oral b is calling them manual toothbrushes) how cool is that. U know the ones that u have to use your whole arm to brush your teeth with. So passé…


Pros.
Built for the extremely lazy:
the muscles in my body wake up bout half hour after my brain does. So the brushing with a manual is not always precise. The dexterity is either too hard or too soft. In the powerbrush, you just have to hover the bristles over your teeth.

Nice grip:
since the battery casing is slightly big the shaft is a little bigger. Trust me on this one… most men like their shaft bigger…

Lasts longer:
im talking about the rechargeable ones. Since you don’t brush harder, the bristles don’t wear out as much. And since ure always recharging it, the life of the toothbrush is a good 6-8 months. Quite good id say for brushing 2 times a day.

Can be used as a vibrator:
The other end. Not the side with the bristles...
for men, cool thing to pleasure your woman with.
For women: no need for embarrassing trips to the sex shops. This is dual purpose. Shiny teeth & fulfilling orgasms. One more thing to smile about when u start your day.

Looks good:
it makes your bath room look a little more sophisticated. As compared to most crap you find on the counters of mens bathrooms.

Conversation filler:
eg. “dude, ive got a power toothbrush” the minute you put the words “power” and toothbrush” in the same sentence it always and intriguing conversation.

Whiter teeth:
last but no least your teeth get noticeably whiter. 90 percent of the general public who don’t have conversations with their dentists, don’t know the correct way to brush with a manual… the power toothbrush does that for you…

Cons:
Not good for the forgetful:
If the charge runs out. You’re doomed.

If used as a sex toy:
The smell of private areas in your mouth. It’s a pro if you like that sorta thing

Kinda heavy:
The good ones have good batteries. Making them kinda heavy.

White tongue:
Cant really use it to brush your tongue. Have to use separate tongue cleaner.

Splashes:
If switched on outside your mouth, might be a little toothpaste splashing. Its not cool to have tooth paste dots on ure face early in the morning. They are hard to get out.
