Just saw a commercial for an Oral B electric toothbrush. The woman recounts asking her dentist if she should use an electric toothbrush. His response was, “sure.”
That sounds about right. You have to ask them, and then they say, “meh, sure.”
I am, by nature, probably less cynical about people’s intentions than I should be. But I’m starting to wonder if dentists don’t push electric toothbrushes because more people using electric toothbrushes would result in less dental/periodontal work being needed.
