We welcome and encourage patients to ask questions when they visit our Columbia, SC dental office. One questions we have received more than once is whether electric toothbrushes are worth it.

the most important thing is having a consistent oral hygiene routine. This should include brushing twice a day (for two minutes each time), flossing daily, and getting routine dental checkups .
