With the regular 'brush compliance checks' mine does, an electrical toothbrush made significant difference. And it's not because I spend longer brushing, I even think I brush less in wall-clock time. The electrical one just seems to be more thorough ('seems' as in 'confirmed with dentist-administered plaque and gum health measurements', not 'I really want to believe so in my mind I make it so').

Electrical brush was night and day for me. Until I was 19 or so, I used to have a cavity nearly every check-up. Then, I got an electrical toothbrush, and it just stopped.

Now most of the work is maintenance on all those fillings, damage had been done, unfortunately.
