Electric toothbrushes have significantly improved in recent years. Your average person who regularly uses an electric toothbrush has less treatment than if they used a manual brush. For how to use it correctly click on the image.
1. Use a rechargeable brush. This brand has best reviews and is the lowest entry level brush.
2. Only use the smaller round toothbrush heads (bigger heads ones miss areas), and with two minutes you have plenty of time to clean everywhere.
3. An extra smaller interspace toothbrush head is helpful if gum recession has occurred.
4. The detachable toothbrush heads are colour banded for personalisation.

There are some other new devices available.
This is the Philips airfloss.
It has a small reservoir where you place mouthwash, and you position it at the join between the teeth at gum level, and it squirts the mouthwash between the teeth.
It is not as good as using an interspace toothbrush, but compliance may be better.​

To clean dentures use a specialist dental brush as shown in the videos.
This type of cleaner is a great help when used with some tablets. With a few weeks of overnight cleaning, the heavy build-up of calculus that the hygienist previously spent time removing from your natural teeth, will gradually be removed.
They are more readily available.​
