> It doesn't matter whether you use an electric or manual toothbrush. They're both equally good

That's just so wrong already. Regular toothbrushes are absolute trash compared to sonics, every dentist will tell you that.

> don't use mouthwash (even a fluoride one) straight after brushing your teeth or it'll wash away the concentrated fluoride in the toothpaste left on your teeth

So in a nutshell, don't use it because it'll wash away the flouride... that you've already rinsed out. Yeah not much of a minus there.

I've heard that studies found that electric vs manual can both do a sufficient clean. But the issue is, most people don't know the proper technique to use a manual brush effectively. So even if you do a half ass job with an electric brush, it's still better then what most would do with a manual.
