Choosing something as simple as a toothbrush should be a fairly straightforward process, right? But with advances in technology over the past 30 years to include increasingly elaborate electric toothbrushes, the decision is more involved than ever. So how do you know which one is right for you? Are all sonic toothbrushes hands-down better than manual toothbrushes? Well, that depends. It depends on your brushing and flossing habits, your budget, and your priorities.

Brushing and Flossing are the two most important parts of oral care, and doing them consistently can be the difference between having many cavities, and having a clean bill of oral health at your dental appointments. The general rule is of course, to brush at least twice daily, or after every meal, and to floss at least once daily.

One specific way that proved more effective than the rest were the chewsticks found all over Africa. These sticks not only cleaned off plaque but had a chemical makeup of fluoride and other useful dental strengtheners and protectors.

The first of these options is that of the floss holder. Floss holders are useful because they can be used to help you floss while using only one hand. Although one handed flossing may not seem like it will make too much of a difference, it speeds up the process, and allows you to floss more quickly while performing other tasks.

Some of the more advanced sonic toothbrushes have special features like UV sterilization, which many users find appealing. Others prefer their sonic toothbrushes because they offer multiple brushing modes for cleaning teeth, cleaning gums, cleaning sensitive teeth, massage, etc. This comes down to priorities. While these options don't necessarily improve dental hygiene, for some people they make sonic toothbrushes worth the extra money.

These natural options may increase on the market not only in Africa but America and Europe as well. This would be in relation to the growing organic style markets that are increasing in popularity in these two continents.

These sticks have been known to protect chewers from gingivitis and other nasty gum disease, tooth decay, and even soar throats. These sticks may be able to be grown and distributed in climates in the US as well. The question is whether this organic and natural frenzy occurring in the US is more of a fad or is it becoming a lifestyle?

Unlike a manual toothbrush, a sonic toothbrush can break if it is dropped or mishandled. It also has batteries that need to be charged and sometimes replaced, a hassle and an expense you won't encounter when using a manual toothbrush.

Don't forget to care for your teeth, they are important to your life and can help set you apart from the crowd. Keep your smile looking as awesome as possible with regular dental care, and you will be able to make a positive impression on everyone you encounter!
