Santa bought me a shiny electric toothbrush and I hate it. Really hate it. Can't stand the feeling in my head when using it, I mean who puts a vibrator on your teeth. Think it's because it reminds me of he dentists drill.

So.... Is using an electric toothbrush for 10/15 seconds (seriously that's all I can cope with) or a manual for a couple of mins better ?

you are the same as DD. We all have electric, but she cannot abide the feel of it, so is the only one on a manual. Dentist very pleased with her brushing and no fillings for years (aged 18)
So go with what you prefer.

They are different actions and have different benefits.

I use manual in the morning and electric at night to make use of the different motions.

I expect 15s of electric isn't efficient tho and is worse than properly done manual.

Manual has worked up to now 45 and 3 fillings .
