I'd recommend a water pick over an electric toothbrush. http://www.amazon.com/Waterpik-WP-100W-Ultra-Water-Flosser/dp/B000GLRREU
Does a water pick replace both flossing and brushing? If so, that's just... awesome.
these reduce bleeding but are the same as regular floss in removing plaque. If you have no problem with gums bleeding during regular flossing the benefits are only in whether you find it more convenient.
Are there people who find waterpiks less convenient? As soon as I started using mine flossing became less than a tenth of the hassle that it was before.
that's a rather large effect. I guess I'll try one.
Some people report that it's easier to remove tonsilloliths as well as a possible reduction in formation. If you don't get them, not a concern, of course.
