An explanation text about an electric toothbrush

This explanation text for year 4 and P5, linking to the topics Animals including humans and biodiversity and Interdependence, describes in detail how an electric toothbrush works. In a 2019 study, scientists found that people who used an electric toothbrush had healthier gums, less tooth decay and also kept their teeth for longer, compared with those who used a manual (non-electric) toothbrush. The labelled diagram with expanded captions explains each part of the toothbrush in detail.
