Electric or disposable?
Electrical.
The disposable one / maunal doesnt even begin to compare with it.
Re: The toothbrush debate
Finger and Dentonic
Re: The toothbrush debate
why even use the electrical one? is it too difficult to scrub on your own?
Re: The toothbrush debate
I use both but recently I've found myself using the regular tooth brush more.
Electric one is good and its timed exactly for 2 mintues which is the proper cleaning time.
But being the desi that I am, I feel better when I use muscle power and do lots of scrubbing with the regular toothbrush.

After being an e-brush loyalist for years, I just switched back to a normal one because I was missing all that muscle action :D
Re: The toothbrush debate
I also like a regular brush. However, I heard that once in a while use of electric toothbrush is good as well. Pata nahi.
Oh yes. Tell them about all the benefits of burning calories too. 
Finger and Dentonic is like pulling your teeth out, whacking them with a spoon and putting them back in.
Edit Too late, someone’s already utilizing this method.

Re: The toothbrush debate
I guess more muscle power will be used if someone rubs their teeth against trunk of a tree.
The rounds per minute of an electric brush is the best power to clean teeth, one can feel it. It is the most recommended method by dentists now.
manjan actually

In villages they use koila/coal and ash/cholay key rakh and they think it is the best method to clean the teeth.

Any of these has more cleaning power than any conventional method.
Re: The toothbrush debate
yeah i know, i use one of em oral B electric ones, they clean it well.
according to ADA, the pressure u should have on your teeth when brushing is the same as the weight of a small orange...think about that and then the ppl who brush their teeth like some bawarchi using scouring pad on a jali hui haandi :D
Re: The toothbrush debate
Electric???
Err.. I use the battery operated ones. 
Re: The toothbrush debate

ELECTRIC TOOTHBRUSH
These days it seems like we have an electric version of just about everything – electric razors, electric cars and of course, electric toothbrushes. And while you might think using a motorized toothbrush is just plain lazy, they actually provide benefits beyond making brushing easier.
Electric toothbrushes are … exactly what their name suggests: Toothbrushes that use electricity to move the bristles during use. The brush head usually moves in a circular or back-and-forth motion powered by rechargeable or replaceable batteries.
Are They Really Better?
Dentists will tell you that a manual toothbrush can be just as effective as an electric model if used properly, but most patients simply don’t brush as thoroughly or for as long as they should. In these cases, an electric toothbrush can help by maximizing the cleaning power of every stroke. In addition, some dentists recommend electric toothbrushes because they may:
- Make it easier to clean around braces, dental implants or bridgework
- Improve oral health in patients with gum disease
- Monitor brushing duration by beeping at certain intervals
- Help teeth look whiter by reducing surface stains
- Remove plaque and combat gingivitis better than manual brushes
- Motivate reluctant brushers to brush for longer
Lending a Hand
Electric toothbrushes also allow patients with limited manual dexterity to effectively brush their teeth. In addition, anyone who must assist a disabled or elderly person with their dental hygiene may have an easier time using a motorized toothbrush.
Electric Parade
There are many types of electric toothbrushes on the market today, so ask your dentist which model he or she recommends – there are even some brands that dispense toothpaste, vibrate to help dislodge plaque and include a timer to ensure you brush for the proper amount of time.
The important thing to remember is that an electric toothbrush is no substitute for good brushing. Although it may provide some additional dental benefits, it’s up to you to take responsibility for your oral health – make sure to brush for a full two minutes, floss, and visit your dentist regularly. Remember, a toothbrush is only as good as the person who uses it

Re: The toothbrush debate
My hubby's dentist recommended him to use the Sonic electric toothbrush so I guess electric ones might be better.
Re: The toothbrush debate
I used the Sonic one for so long but charging it everynight was such a pain 
Now that you have scared me about my daant maanjing X2, I am going to switch back.
Oh and I sent your begum a message, check it :)
