Extra features of electric toothbrushes
Timer
Some electric toothbrushes have a 2-minute timer. The toothbrush will let you know once you have reached 2 minutes of brushing.
Brushing the teeth in each corner of the mouth for 30 seconds is a good way to split up your brushing routine. Some timers will buzz or beep every 30 seconds. This can help you to keep track of time to know when to move on to brush the next corner of the mouth.
Pressure sensor
Some electric toothbrushes have a built-in pressure sensor. The sensor will tell you if you are using too much pressure when brushing your teeth. The toothbrush may make a noise, or lights may flash.
